Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add 1.5 pounds of beef, cooking for about 7 to 10 minutes until browned.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and 1 chopped tomato, mixing well.

Add Caribbean green seasoning and 1 sliced Scotch bonnet pepper, adjusting for spice level.

Rinse and drain 1 can of red kidney beans, then add to the pot and stir.

Pour in 3 cups of coconut milk and rinse the can with 3 cups of water, adding that to the pot as well.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover, cooking for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Check the beef for tenderness, adding more water if necessary during cooking.

After 1 hour, add 3 cups of washed parboiled brown rice, 1 cup diced pumpkin, 1 cup sliced okra, and 1 cup chopped spinach to the pot.

Stir to combine all ingredients and add a total of 6 to 7 cups of water, adjusting for desired wetness.

Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cooking until the rice is plump and tender, about 20-30 minutes.

Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
