1 cup long-grain white rice

1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup water

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Use fresh thyme for the best flavor, but dried thyme can be used in a pinch.

Make sure to rinse the kidney beans to remove excess sodium from the can.

For a bit of heat, consider adding a diced Scotch bonnet pepper to the pot while cooking.
