Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the Jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, red kidney beans, coconut milk, vegetable broth, green onions, minced garlic, thyme, allspice, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and the Scotch bonnet pepper (if using).

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, remove the bay leaf and Scotch bonnet pepper, and serve warm.
