Coconut rice and peas (Jamaican)
Get dry beans , soak overnight, boil till the beans are soft.
Wash rice add 3/4 scallions ( smash them like u do lemongrass) to release the flavor cut them into 2 inch slices.
Add 3 by 2 inch of grated fresh coconut, ( the coconut can be froze up to 6 months , the part u don't use ) and about 6 sprigs of thyme , you are not going to eat the thyme, it for flavor.
If you don't want to use dry beans , you can use tinned ones , for that you would put everything in the pot one time with the rice, let boil up , stir, not with spoon , fork or chopsticks, turn down and let finish cooking.
You don't have to use beans with it , this rice goes very well with spicy foods
