• Add the thyme, allspice, scallion, onion, garlic, scotch bonnet, brown sugar, uncooked rice, salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Rinse rice in a fine strainer.
• Heat oil in a large 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, green onions, and thyme; cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, kidney beans, stock, coconut milk, Scotch bonnet pepper, salt, sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, allspice, and cayenne pepper.
• Bring to a boil, uncovered. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until rice is tender and liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place beans and garlic in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the beans are tender, stir in the coconut milk, green onions, Scotch bonnet, and thyme, and increase the heat to a boil. Stir in the rice, add some salt and pepper, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Transfer to a large serving bowl, taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from the can of beans into a measuring cup and add the can of coconut milk and enough water to make 500ml of liquid
• Add liquid, beans, garlic, chopped onion and thyme to large pot and bring to the boil
• Add rice and boil on High for 2 minutes, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve

Steps:

• Using a large pot over medium heat, combine pigeon peas, garlic, pimento, thyme, coconut and 3 quarts of cold water.
• Cover and cook the peas until tender, about 1-1/2 hours, adding more water as needed to keep peas covered.
• Boil until 4 cups of water remains,(you can drain and measure this).
• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Using a Dutch oven or ovenproof pot over medium heat, heat the margarine, saute the onion and pepper, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add rice, peas with liquid, season with salt and pepper.
• Cover and bake until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a big pot (cast-iron would be best). Add water until up to 2.5 cm above the rice.
• Bring to a boil slowly, using medium heat. Reduce to low heat and simmer for approximately 25 minutes until the rice is soft and has absorbed the liquid.
• Remove the chili and spice the rice with thyme, pepper and salt.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions for 5 mins or until soft. Meanwhile, coat the chicken thoroughly with the thyme, curry powder and allspice. Add to the pan and briefly brown the chicken, then tip in the tomatoes, chilli, garlic and bouillon. Pour over 450ml water, cover and simmer for 30 mins or until the chicken is tender.
• Meanwhile, tip the rice into a medium-sized pan with the onion, garlic, thyme and bouillon. Pour in 600ml water, cover and cook for 25 mins or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Check toward the end of the cooking time to ensure it isn't starting to catch on the pan. Stir in the beans and heat through. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the rice with half the chicken (saving the leftovers for a second meal later in the week). Otherwise you can serve four portions, scattered with a few extra thyme leaves, if you like.
