Canned beans are more accessible and save prep time.

meat (chicken, beef, or pork)

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: vegetable protein

Tofu provides a plant-based protein alternative.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, complete seasoning, black pepper, meat seasoning, seasoned seasoning, smoked paprika, and green seasoning.

Set the seasoned meat aside in the fridge for 1 hour.

Pressure cook the red beans with a little salt in the Instant Pot for 30 minutes until tender.

Fry the marinated meat in a pan until it releases its natural juices, then pressure cook the meat in the Instant Pot for 20-25 minutes until tender.

In a pot, heat a little oil and add garlic, onions, red bell peppers, and all the aromatics.

Add the pressure-cooked beans and the fried meat to the pot and fry them together.

Add the rice to the pot and stir well.

Pour in the juice from the beans and the coconut milk, then stir again.

Add additional seasonings and stir well to combine.

Let it steam for 5 minutes, then add chopped green onions and cilantro for garnish.

Remove the scotch bonnet pepper to avoid it mashing into the rice before serving.
