1

Start by preparing fresh green seasoning with pimentos, celery, and garlic, roughly chopped and blended.

2

Season the cleaned and washed chickens with all-purpose seasoning, ginger, salt, and freshly blended green seasoning.

3

Add 2 chopped tomatoes and a little ketchup to the chicken for flavor.

4

In a separate pot, add red beans and season with green seasoning, salt, and a little oil.

5

Add rice to the pot, ensuring the quantity is appropriate for the amount of beans.

6

Heat the pot on very low heat to allow the chicken to caramelize slowly.

7

Add water to the chicken as it dries out, ensuring it doesn't burn.

8

Check the rice for doneness, cooking until it's slightly softer than preferred.

9

Cover the pot and allow the rice to boil until the first water has dried down.

10

Check the red beans for tenderness, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes if necessary.

11

Once everything is cooked, add oil and sugar to the red beans before serving.
