Red and Pink Romantic Red Bean Pilaf

I am very fond of rice.Yes I know about the carbs and calories but who cares??? Well, if you do check it here :)
Anyway although there are few different ways of cooking it, pilaf is my hearts contender. The basic technique for making pilaf is very straightforward: Fry the rice in medium oil, then simmers in water or stock 1;1.5 ratio is crucial and finally rest it off the heat for min 5 minutes.

Ok, since I have given the basic information, now I can proceed to the setting of this post:
I was hungry and mulling overt what to eat. I do not have a great appetite or a great love of cooking so whatever I cook must be quick and simple. Not your average food blogger huh?

I glanced at the kitchen and saw the red onions. I love their colour as well as the taste. I remembered having a can of red beans and bingo!!!
I hope you are ready for  Red and Pink Romantic Red Bean Pilaf 
Ingredients:
1 cup medium white rice- washed before use
1.5 cup warm water
1 red onion, medium size
1 can red bean
3 tablespoon of oil or 2 tablespoon butter. I always go for oil :)
salt as required

Fry the rice and roughly chopped red onions in the oil for couple of minutes. You want the onion to get pink and rice to turn white. 
Add the warm water to cover the rice. You can use  stock or veggie cubes as you like. Let it simmer for 10 minutes
Add the red beans for last 3 minutes. Rinse them in a sieve before using.

Congratulations! You are done in 15 minutes. Let the pilaf settle for five minutes while you decide what you want for dessert.

That is not the best photo but should give you an idea. Enjoy

 PS: Increase the amount of onions if you desire a more vivid pink in the rice.
