coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while milk + coconut extract can mimic flavor.

kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans save time and can be more budget-friendly.

Soak the brown rice in water and lime juice for several hours or overnight (optional for sensitive stomachs).

Rinse the brown rice thoroughly in a sieve until the water runs clear, taking several minutes to ensure it's clean.

Add the rinsed brown rice to the Instant Pot.

Add garlic granules, onion granules, pink salt, thyme bundle, pimento berries, coconut cream, coconut milk, and water to the Instant Pot.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing.

Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.

Once the cooking time is up, switch the valve to venting to release the pressure before opening the lid.

Fluff the rice with a fork after cooking and remove the thyme bundle.
