Coconut Rice Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Over high heat in a heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine and stir all the ingredients. Bring to a boil uncovered, then reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, rice should be cooked.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut and a pinch each of red pepper flakes and salt; toast, stirring, 3 minutes. Stir in 3 cups frozen brown rice, 1/2 cup frozen peas and 1/4 cup coconut water. Cover, reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Stir in some chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Put the beans, coconut milk, thyme, allspice, 4 of the spring onions and 100ml water in a pan, and bring to a simmer. Season with plenty of salt and black pepper.
• Rinse the rice a few times in a sieve until the water runs clear. Tip into the pan and simmer for 10 mins over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, before lowering the heat. Put the lid on and cook for another 5 mins until the grains are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff up the rice with a fork before serving and scatter with the reserved spring onions.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot add the minced garlic and the chili flakes, saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the white wine and stir. Add the chicken stock and the coconut milk. Give the rice a good stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once the rice just begins to boil, lower the heat and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked and all the liquid has evaporated. Fluff with a fork and stir in the black eyed peas and the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt and saute, until onion becomes translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add rice and saute another 2 minutes to toast rice. Add coconut milk and fill saucepan with enough water to cover the rice by 1/2-inch or measure by placing your thumb tip on the rice and filling the pot with water until the water reaches the middle of your thumbnail. Bring rice to a simmer, cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid has evaporated, about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let rice stand another 5 minutes, covered. Fluff rice with fork and then fold in pigeon peas. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with 6 cups cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, skimming foam from surface as needed, then reduce heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook, adding water as needed to keep beans covered by at least 1", until beans are completely tender, 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium. Add shallot, oregano, and thyme and cook, stirring often, until shallot is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer beans to skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Pour out all but 2 cups bean cooking liquid from saucepan; add coconut milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. While liquid is heating up, place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Add rice to saucepan, reduce heat to a bare simmer, and cover. Cook rice 10 minutes, then uncover and stir in reserved bean mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Cover pan and cook until rice is tender, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and uncover. Fluff rice with a fork.
• Do Ahead
• Rice and beans can be made 1 hour ahead. Keep covered. Reheat gently before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy saucepan. Add onion, and cook over medium heat until soft. Stir in chili and rice, and cook a few minutes. Fold in 1/2 cup coconut milk and pigeon peas. Add stock. Bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover pan with double layer of plastic wrap so wrap clings tightly to pan, extending about an inch below rim. Place cover of pan over plastic wrap to make a tight seal. Cook over low heat 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and set aside 15 minutes.
• Uncover pan, and remove plastic, using mitts because the steam can burn. Stir rice. Spread out in shallow baking dish to cool.
• To serve, remove chili. Fold in scallions, bell pepper and thyme. Check seasonings. Return to saucepan, cover, and gently reheat. Fold in remaining coconut milk, and serve.
