CHRISTMAS MEAL 2021 | BAHAMIAN COOKING

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper; cook for an additional minute.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stirring to coat in the oil and aromatics.

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.

Stir in the green peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in lime juice and chopped scallions.

Serve warm, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
