Authentic Jamaican Rice and Peas (red beans)

I love making really yummy, healthy meals that will spark creativity and interest in anyone who eats at my table. Hiding vegetables, or leaving them out in the open, is a favorite past-time! Enjoy!

¾ cup dried kidney beans, presoaked (See Notes)

¾ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1 ½ cup warm water, or one 14oz can of coconut milk instead of water and flakes

1 teaspoon mild jerk seasoning

1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning

3 stalks scallion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled

1 sprig fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoon dried

1 teaspoon whole allspice, manually ground (or ½ teaspoon pre-ground)

1 whole scotch bonnet pepper, uncut and unbruised (See Notes)

1 ½ teaspoon salt, (less if using salted canned beans)

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups long grain rice
