Add the callaloo and allow it to sweat down for about 5 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and water; bring the pot to a boil.

Add all purpose seasoning and allspice to taste.

Cover the pot and bring it to a slight boil.

Add the rice and stir properly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Add scotch bonnet pepper and thyme; stir again and cover the pot to steam.

Once most of the liquid is reduced, cover the pot with foil and allow the rice to further steam.

Remove the scotch bonnet pepper and thyme stems before serving.
