Suriname's food is an exotic mix of East Indian, Indian, Creole, Indonesian and Chinese cuisines with a touch of Caribbean thrown in; the cheapest eateries are warungs, Javanese food stalls serving fried noodle and rice dishes. This recipe BBR is the abbreviation of Brown Beans and Rice and very popular in Suriname and Holland. The most important ingredients in this dish is beans and meat. You can use all sorts of meats: beef, chicken, pork. This is a good dish where you can use your left over meat. My preference is chicken breast.
