Belinean Rice & Beans

INGREDIENTS:

  • ½ pound red kidney beans
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cup thick coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • ½ bell (green) pepper
  • 1 clove garlic (optional)
  • 1½ teaspoon salt

METHOD / DIRECTIONS:

Cover beans in water, and soak overnight. Put beans in pot; add onions, bell pepper, garlic, and enough water to boil until beans are tender and whole. Add coconut milk, and seasonings.
