Set a medium pot over medium heat. Add butter and heat until it
begins to bubble, 1-2 minutes. Stir in onions, scallions, green
peppers, both chiles, garlic and ginger. Sweat until onions are
translucent, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and add curry powder,
allspice and nutmeg. Sauté until spices are fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
Add beans, rice and water to pot. Let simmer until rice is cooked and
most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat,
cover and let sit 5 minutes.
Make the tomato vinaigrette:
Use a box grater to grate tomato into a small mixing bowl. Season
with salt and 1 tb olive oil.
To serve, distribute rice among 4 bowls and top helpings with okra
spears. Drizzle tomato vinaigrette over top.
