For the yellow rice
  • 1½ cups white jasmine rice
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil

  • ¾ cup coconut milk
For the black beans

  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced

  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • brown sugar, to taste

Instructions
For the nectarine salsa
  1. Combine the nectarines, lime juice, jalapeno, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside to allow the flavors to come together while you prepare the rice and beans.
For the rice
  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice, turmeric, and salt. Saute it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add in the water and the coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has evaporated. Turn off the heat and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
For the beans
  1. While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Saute for 3-4 minutes, or until the shallots are starting to brown. Add in the beans, curry paste, lime juice, and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
  2. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season to taste with brown sugar, more curry paste, or salt.
  3. Divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with the beans and a spoonful of the nectarine salsa.
