Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Rinse the long grain white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Rinsing removes excess starch, which helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the coconut milk and water.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 3
Add the drained and rinsed canned kidney beans, chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, whole scotch bonnet pepper, grated fresh ginger, and fresh thyme sprig to the pot.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Be careful when handling the scotch bonnet pepper; avoid touching your eyes.

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Yaklaşık 25 dk.
Aşçının notu: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain the steam and ensure even cooking.

Carefully remove the scotch bonnet pepper and fresh thyme sprig from the pot.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
