      Title: Jamaican Rice And Peas
 Categories: Jamaican, Vegetarian
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
  1 1/2 c  Dried red kidney beans;
           - soaked overnight
      1 cl Garlic; crushed
           Salt
    1/2 c  Unsweetened coconut milk
      2    Scallions; chopped
      2    Fresh thyme sprigs
      1    Whole Scotch bonnet chile
           Black pepper
      2 c  Long-grain white rice
 
  Boil the beans, garlic and salt until the beans are tender. Save
  3 cups of the liquid, discarding the garlic. Return the beans and
  the 3 cups liquid to the pot. If there's not enough of the cooking
  liquid use water. Add the coconut milk, scallions, thyme, chili,
  black pepper, and salt to taste. When it comes to a boil, add in
  the rice. Let it boil for 20 minutes, then remove it from the heat
  and let it sit for 15 minutes. Stir it with a fork. Do not eat the
  chili pepper.
  
  I've made this with canned beans, skipping the first step and just
  dumping them in with 3 cups water and some garlic powder, and
  everything else.
