Ingredients

  • 1 cup Long grain white rice (Use Basmati rice if you prefer. Either way, give it a good rinse and drain to get rid of some starch.)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, pigeon peas, or black-eyed peas
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp Grace Creamed Coconut
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 3 seeds allspice/ pimento (gently crush with the side of a chefs knife)
  • ½ tsp dried thyme (use 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh thyme if you have it)
  • 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper (optional) (for the flavour - leaving it whole doesn't add much heat)
  • 2 or 3 green onions (flattened with side of a knife)
