    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups brown or long grain white rice
    • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk
    • 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
    • 3 scallions
    • 1 clove garlic chopped
    • 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper habanero seeds removed and chopped (more or less to taste)

    • Place beans and vegetable or chicken broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil using medium heat
    • While beans are simmering, add unsweetened coconut milk; stir for about 5 minutes
    • Add chopped garlic, scallions (green onions), thyme, allspice seeds and scotch bonnet pepper.
    • Add salt and pepper
    • Stir at medium-high heat for about 5 minutes
    • Add rice and cook using medium-high heat until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy, around 30-40 minutes
