This is the recipe we received from Chef Martin, at the Lido Restaurant.

Have not tested it, but straight from his hand:

MARTIN’S RICE AND PEAS

½ cup minced red pepper

½ cup minced onion

2-3 cloves garlic

Sauté the above ingredients in oil until tender.

Add:
2 Tbls tomato paste
1 can Kidney beans--rinsed and drained

If using:

Brown rice: Add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of chicken stock
White rice: Add 1 cup of rice and 1 ½ cups of chicken stock

Mix the rice, stock and veggies.

Add: ¼ - ½ tsp salt
¼ - ½ tsp cayenne

Bring to a boil, cover and turn down to a simmer.
After 10 minutes quickly uncover and stir the mixture from top to bottom. Recover and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until done.

sounds good. both recipes seem pretty simple. thanks for posting this also.

This one sounds good too!

i substituted jalapenos for the bell pepper. this is a keeper. thanks again.

Now that's my kind of rice! I love 'heat' & always add hot sauce so the jalapeno's would be just my ticket! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

ah i didn't know you were a fan of heat as well. i'm going to give gakaye's jamaican rice and beans recipe a try, with scotch bonnets. i have some in the freezer... or maybe it's habanero. i always thought they were one and the same, but apparently that's not so. i plan on making that alongside your slowcooker chicken recipe. if i follow through, i'll be sure to post. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

Made the recipe as written with brown rice...it was sooo good... a keeper for sure. Thank you for posting it Gary. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
