Cook the rice with water or stock, then let it rest covered until fluffy. Add fully cooked kidney beans, corn and peas so they warm through without breaking apart; sautéing the rice first helps give the pilaf its characteristic separate grains.
Yes, kidney beans must be fully cooked before they go into the pilaf. Boil dried beans until tender, or drain and rinse canned beans; adding raw or undercooked kidney beans is not safe.
Rinse the rice until the water runs clearer, use the amount of liquid suited to your rice, and avoid stirring while it cooks. Let the pilaf stand covered after cooking so the grains can firm up before serving.
Long-grain rice is a good choice for kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf because it tends to cook into distinct grains. Rinse it before cooking, and adjust the liquid and timing to the specific rice you use.
Yes, canned kidney beans work well in kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf. Drain and rinse them first, then add them near the end of cooking so they heat through without turning soft or breaking up.
Yes, frozen peas and corn can be added directly to kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf. Stir them in toward the end of cooking; adding them too early can make the peas overly soft and the vegetables release extra moisture.
Serve kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf with a crisp green salad, plain yogurt or roasted vegetables. It can work as a filling meat-free main dish, or as a side alongside grilled food.
Refrigerate leftover kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf in a covered container as soon as it has cooled. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is steaming hot throughout.
Yes, kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf can be frozen in airtight, meal-sized portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly; a splash of water can help restore moisture if the rice seems dry.
Yes, you can make kidney bean, corn and pea rice pilaf in a rice cooker. Cook the rice with the appropriate liquid, then stir in cooked kidney beans, corn and peas near the end or after the rice cycle so the vegetables do not overcook.

Barbunya rice pilaf is a Turkish-style pilaf made with rice, barbunya beans (cranberry beans), corn and peas. It brings together the familiar rice pilaf served in Turkish home cooking with beans and vegetables, making it substantial enough to serve beyond the usual side-dish role.
The rice is tender and fluffy, while the beans add a soft, hearty bite and the corn and peas bring gentle sweetness. Serve it warm as a main with salad, or alongside other dishes at the table. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with fiber from the beans and vegetables; a 100 g portion provides 3.4 g of fiber. For a lighter meal, pair it with a crisp salad and keep added oil modest.
