Course: Side Dish
Keyword: Mild & Creamy, Vegan, Vegetarian
Servings: 4
- 1 3.5 oz pkg Yumbini Mild & Creamy Red Beans and Rice
- 4 Small round vegetables (for mouth) sliced onion, olive, cherry tomato, carrot, beet, cucumber
- 8 Small nuts, seeds, or vegetables (for eyes) pumpkin or sunflower seeds, almonds, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns
Prepare Yumbini Mild & Creamy Red Beans and Rice using 3/4 cup water according to package instructions. Set aside to cool completely. (Can be speeded up by cooling in the refrigerator.)
Once Yumbini has cooled and thickened, stir so it is creamy, and divide into 4 portions.
Transfer one portion to a small plate and use a spoon to smooth it into a "ghost" shape. Repeat for other portions.
Garnish with vegetables, nuts or seeds to form eyes and mouth of ghosts.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with hot sauce or vinegar (optional).
