1
Combine the coconut milk, water, minced garlic, chopped yellow onion, whole scotch bonnet pepper, fresh thyme sprigs, crushed allspice berries, salt, and black pepper in a large pot or saucepan.
Omtrent 2 min
Kokkens tips: Be careful when handling scotch bonnet peppers; avoid touching your face and wash hands thoroughly.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Omtrent 10 min
Kokkens tips: The simmer helps to infuse the coconut milk with all the aromatic spices.
3
Remove and discard the scotch bonnet pepper and thyme sprigs from the pot.
Omtrent 1 min
Kokkens tips: If you prefer a spicier dish, you can leave the pepper in for longer or gently press it before removing.
4
Stir in the rinsed long grain rice and drained kidney beans.
Omtrent 1 min
Kokkens tips: Rinsing the rice helps remove excess starch, preventing it from becoming too sticky.
5
Bring the liquid back to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot tightly and reduce the heat to very low.
Omtrent 2 min
Kokkens tips: A tight-fitting lid is crucial for proper steam cooking of the rice.
6
Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
Omtrent 25 min
Kokkens tips: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep the steam trapped inside.
7
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Omtrent 5 min
Kokkens tips: This resting period allows the rice to finish steaming and become fluffy.
8
Fluff the rice and peas gently with a fork before serving.
Omtrent 1 min
Kokkens tips: Fluffing prevents the rice from clumping together.
