HOW TO MAKE JAMAICAN RICE AND PEAS (STEP-BY-STEP)

Wash the red beans and put them in a pot with water.

Add whole garlic cloves to the pot without cutting them.

Add thyme, ginger, and brown sugar to the pot.

Add salt to taste.

Turn the heat to high and cover the pot.

Check the beans periodically to ensure the water doesn't dry out, adding more water if necessary.

Once the beans are soft, add scallion, more thyme, and half of a can of coconut milk to the pot.

Taste the mixture and adjust salt if needed, then cover and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

Add a scotch bonnet pepper and a teaspoon of butter to the pot off-camera.

Add 2.5 cups of washed brown par-boiled rice to the pot.

Stir the rice and check the water level; if the rice isn't swimming in water, it's good to go.

Cover the pot and let it cook until done.
