Jamaican Rice & Peas

1½ cups Dried red kidney beans

1 Clove garlic - crushed

Salt

½ cup Unsweetened coconut milk

2 Scallions - chopped

2 Sprigs fresh thyme

1 Whole Scotch Bonnet Chili

Black pepper

2 cups Long-grain white rice

Soak the beans in water overnight beforehand. Boil the beans, garlic and salt until the beans are tender. Save three cups of the liquid, discarding the garlic. Return the beans and the three cups liquid to the pot (if there's not enough of the cooking liquid use water), along with the coconut milk, scallions, thyme, chili, and black pepper and salt to taste. When it comes to a boil, add in the rice. Let it boil for 20 minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes. Stir it with a fork. Do Not Eat the chili pepper.

Makes approximately 1 serving.
