Rice & Peas
A delightful harmony of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and seasoned with a medley of spices, served alongside tender, savory beans, transporting your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
Preparation
-
Wash rice until water runs clear. Drain water.
-
Heat a saucepan with oil. Add onions, garlic, thyme, and hot pepper, and sauté for about a minute.
-
Stir in rice to the pan, followed by beans, and cook for about 2 minutes. Then add coconut milk, bay leaf, and Creole spice with 2¼ cups of broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 20 minutes (or until it's the texture you like). Stir occasionally to prevent burning, and add more broth (or water) as needed.
-
Adjust salt and pepper to your liking. Discard bay leaves.

Enjoy!
