Instant Pot Rice and Peas | Jamaican Rice and Peas

Pressure cook dried kidney beans with garlic and salt in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes.

Check the beans to ensure they are tender but not completely mashed.

Add 1 cup of coconut milk to the 2 cups of liquid from the beans, totaling 3 cups of liquid.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 tablespoon of scallion, 1 tablespoon of allspice berries, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, and optional sugar to the pot.

Add black pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

Rinse 2 cups of basmati rice until the water runs clear and add it to the pot, stirring to combine.

Add a whole scotch bonnet pepper to the mixture.

Seal the Instant Pot and use the rice setting to cook.

After cooking, let it sit on low for 5 minutes before releasing the pressure naturally.

Open the pot and remove excess herbs and the scotch bonnet pepper, then fluff the rice.
