jamaican rice dish

Recipe video above. Perfumed with thyme and all spice with a hint of traditional warmth from fresh chilli, this Jamaican coconut rice makes the perfect side dish for tropical themed foods such as Jerk Fish or Chicken, with a side of Jamaican slaw!Baking is best - Ordinarily, this dish is prepared on the stove. But I find the most fuss-free way to make coconut rice is in the oven.Fluffier, no scorched base, entirely hands off. Try it. You&#39;ll be converted for life!

Jamaican rice and peas

/ 3 tbsp unsalted butter ((or 2 tbsp canola or veg oil))

garlic (, finely minced)

onion (, finely chopped)

thyme

tsp all spice powder ((sub mixed spice))

bay leaves (, preferably fresh)

scotch bonnet

coconut milk (, full fat (Note 3))

water

tsp cooking salt

long grain white rice ((Note 4))

Preheat oven to  200°C/400°F (180°C fan).

Sauté aromatics - Melt butter over medium-high heat in a medium or large ovenproof pot (Note 5). Cook garlic, onion, thyme, all spice, bay leaves, scotch bonnet until onion is translucent (~ 3 minutes).

Add coconut milk, water, beans and salt. Once it comes to a simmer, add rice then give it a quick stir. Once you see bubbles breaking the surface, immediately cover then transfer to oven.

Bake for 40 minutes. All liquid should be absorbed (tilt to check) though you will have some coconut cream on the surface.

Rest - Leave the pot on the counter with the lid on for 15 minutes. Then fluff and serve!
