Canned beans are more accessible and cost-effective.

Line your pan with some oil (vegetable, avocado, or canola).

Add red bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the pan.

Add two sprigs of fresh thyme and combine everything together.

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear to clean it.

Sauté the vegetables until they start to cook.

Add about a tablespoon of tomato paste to the pan.

Add browning for color (can use kitchen bouquet or Jamaican browning).

Pour in chicken stock (recommend using homemade from baked chicken, but store-bought is fine).

Stir all ingredients together to combine flavors.

Add complete seasoning (garlic powder and onion powder combined).

Add black pepper, sugar, and salt (adjust salt to taste).

Stir to combine all seasonings with the mixture.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to absorb the liquid.

Add canned pigeon peas (rinsed and drained) to the pot and toss gently to combine.

Ensure the pot is on medium heat and cover with a lid.

Let it cook for 30 to 45 minutes on low to medium heat with the lid sealed tight.

Once the water is dried up, toss the rice gently to incorporate the seasonings.

Let it cook down for another 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
