Coconut Rice and Peas

rice,

water

coconut milk

scallions, chopped

thyme

Scotch Bonnet pepper, whole

olive oil

Salt

Over high heat in a heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine and stir all the ingredients. Bring to a boil uncovered, then reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, rice should be cooked.

Very good, nice change of pace. Couldn't find pidgeon peas so I used can of good quality black beans. Also a less hot pepper than a scotch bonnet. I was a little surprised the coconut flavor was very subdued but good. Great side dish to Ellie Krueger's chicken with tomatillo sauce.

My parents are from the Caribbean and the are accustomed to eating coconut rice and they said that this tastes just like back home. Thanks.

 I also have substituted small red beans for peas.  My Belizean Family loves it.
