There was once a little Jamaican food place near our kids’ school. They had the most delicious rice & peas, that they paired with Jamaican curry chicken. This was the closest recipe I could find that was similar. I like it with the rice cooked in chicken broth.
- Ingredients
1 med. can red kidney beans, what happens if this is really long, like really really long so it goes to the next line, and I need special spacing for it?
1 can coconut milk
2 cups rice
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp oil
1 scotch bonnet pepper, whole
water
(this uses a shortcode which is kind of invisible in the divi view, don’t delete)
- Directions
Drain the liquid from the beans into a measuring cup and add the coconut milk and enough water to make 4 cups of liquid. Place in a pot with beans, onions, garlic, thyme and oil. Bring to a boil.
Add rice and stir for a minutes, then reduce to low. Place pepper on top of liquid and cover for 30 minutes until rice is cooked.
Remove pepper before serving.
