How To make Jamaican Rice and Peas | Hello Sweet Biscuit

Soak 3 cups of red kidney beans overnight.

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil for about 5 minutes.

Add the soaked kidney beans to the boiling water and cover the pot.

Boil the beans for about 45 minutes until tender.

After 25 minutes, check the beans; if still hard, continue cooking.

Add 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic, and 1/2 can of coconut milk to the pot.

Cover and cook for another 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the beans again; they should be almost cooked.

Add scallion, chopped onion, thyme, and 1 cup of water to the pot.

Add 4 cups of rice to the mixture and stir.

Taste the mixture to adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Add black pepper and onion powder to taste.

Cover the pot and let it bubble until the water begins to dry out.

Optionally, cover the pot with aluminum foil to steam the rice for 25 to 30 minutes.

Check the rice for doneness; adjust cooking time based on personal preference.
