Though this is a breakfast item in Ghana, I can have it either for lunch or dinner as a one pot meal with some riatha or just plain yogurt.
beautiful dish !, though the idea of rice for breakfast is not popular in our country, but I see lot of rice dishes in the international cuisine..would love these as red beans are a favorite.

Breakfast needs to be heavy and this is so perfect and apt. Rice with beans. Carbs and protein is always filling.
