Add water to the pot and ensure the cooker is set to medium heat.

Stir everything to combine, ensuring the beans are evenly separated.

Cover the pot and bring to a boil, which takes about 2 minutes.

Once boiling, add the rice to the pot and stir to mix it evenly with the beans.

Optionally, add butter at this point and stir again.

Cover the pot and let it cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, stir again to ensure the beans are evenly covered in the rice and cover again for another 10 minutes.

After the second 10 minutes, check the rice; it should have a nice color and texture.

Remove any extra spring onions or thyme before serving.
