Black beans are nutritious and can be a good substitute.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and works well for cooking.

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

If you drain your pigeon peas, add 2 cups water instead of 1 cup.

Heat butter in a pot over medium heat until melted.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Stir in the green onions, thyme, and hot pepper; cook for a few minutes.

Add the pigeon peas, coconut milk, and water; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender.

Stir in the rice, garlic salt, all purpose seasoning, and black pepper; mix well.

Cover and cook until the rice is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
