Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for rice and beans from Belize.

Show the 12-ounce bag of red beans and explain to check for debris or damaged beans.

Wash the beans thoroughly and place them in a pot with 10 cups of water.

Add the half onion to the pot with the beans and water.

Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and cook the beans for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

While waiting, suggest cooking pork ribs, fried chicken, or beef ribs as side dishes.

After 1 hour and 20 minutes, check the beans; they should be close to done but not fully cooked.

Remove the onion from the pot and turn off the heat.

In a large saucepan, add the washed rice and the cooked beans.

Pour in 4 cups of the bean broth into the saucepan with rice and beans.

Add the can of coconut milk and mix well.

Season with salt to taste, noting that no salt was added to the beans during cooking.

Mention that some people add bay leaves or chopped bell pepper for flavor, but it's optional.

Turn the stove on to low heat (setting it to number 3) and cover the saucepan.

Cook for about 40 minutes on low heat, checking occasionally.

After 40 minutes, uncover the saucepan to check if the rice and beans are cooked through.

Serve the rice and beans, suggesting pairing with pork ribs and plantains.
