Rice & Peas


Classic Caribbean dish. Easy to make by not many people actually know how exactly it's made. Of course there are many ways to cook rice and everyone has a favourite. Here's mine.


Ingredients:
1 mug of long grain rice (not the parboiled stuff)
1 mug of chicken stock
1 tin of beans (I used Borlotti Beans, but Kidney beans or even Black beans are good)
1tbs Coconut powder
A few stalks of fresh thyme, leafs only
A pinch of allspice
1large pinch of sea salt
1scotch bonnet pepper

Place your rinsed beans and rice into a pot. Mix the chicken stock with the coconut powder and add to the pot. Add the seasonings and place the whole scotch bonnet on top.
Bring to a simmer. Once simmering stir once carefully with a fork, then put a lid on. Turn the heat to very low and cook for 15 minutes. Do not take the lid off! Leave to rest for a further 15 minutes. Now it's ready. Fork through the rice gently before serving.

Eat! Feel good! Do a little twerk.
Bon Apetit!
