coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

red kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans save time and effort.

Soak red kidney beans overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the beans, then place them in a pot with fresh water.

Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.

In a separate pot, combine coconut milk, water, and seasonings including green onions, garlic, thyme, allspice, salt, and black pepper.

Add the cooked beans to the coconut mixture.

Stir in the rice and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is cooked.

Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
