Ingredients
-
2 cups dried small red beans
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 1/2 cups water
salt, to taste
2 2/3 cups coconut milk
pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme (about 1 tsp)
2 fresh habanero or scotch bonnet peppers
2 2/3 cup jasmine rice, uncooked
Directions
In a saucepan combine - dried beans, water, garlic and salt.
Bring to a boil.
Cook, covered over medium heat for about 2 hours - until beans are tender.
Add the coconut milk, pepper, onion, thyme and whole fresh peppers.
Bring to a boil.
Cook, covered at a simmer for about 25 minutes - until rice is done and liquid has been absorbed.
Makes 12 servings.
Note - If you follow the recipe exactly this dish is on the light side seasoning wise, as it is traditionally used as the side dish to very flavorful curry type dishes. If you want to bump up the flavor I recommend adding double the garlic and thyme and increasing the number of hot peppers too.

instead of using up too many hours/gas/electric/energy boiling the beans for two hours (although that is the cool old time way), one can also put the beans, coconut milk, scallions and thyme in a pressure cooker and the cooking time will be about half an hour or so. Then follow the rest of recipe. - 1/4/10
