Chop the onion, garlic, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, pimento peppers, and chives.

Set the chopped seasonings aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add water and coconut milk.

Add the chopped seasonings to the skillet.

Add salt and pepper to the mixture and mix well.

Gradually stir in the cornmeal while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.

Continue stirring and add water as needed until the mixture starts to dry up.

Once it starts to stick to the sides and gets a little brown, it's ready.

Remove from heat and pour into a lightly greased pie dish, spreading it across evenly.

Allow the cou cou to sit until it has set and cooled.
