     Title: Jamaican Rice And Peas
Categories: Veg-cook, August
     Yield: 1 servings

 1 1/2 c  Dried red kidney beans,
          Soaked overnight
     1    Clove garlic, crushed
       x  Salt
   1/2 c  Unsweetened coconut milk
     2    Scallions, chopped
     2    Sprigs fresh thyme
     1    Whole Scotch Bonnet Chili (I
          Usually use several
          Cayennes)
       x  Black pepper
     2 c  Long-grain white rice

 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.

 I've made this with canned beans, skipping the first step and just dumping
 them in with 3 cups water and some garlic powder, and everything else.
