Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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).
