Categories     Rice

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups coconut milk
1 bay leaf (or 1 tsp. peeled and minced fresh garlic) (optional)
1 1/2 cups short-grain rice (or long-grain...particularly jasmine)
salt
1/2 cup cooked beans (moist kidney, pinto, pink or black beans)

Steps:

  • Combine coconut milk, bay leaf (or garlic) if you're using it, and rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add some salt, lower heat to low and cover. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch.
  • Uncover. Cook, stirring over low heat, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 15 minutes. At about the 10-minute mark, stir in beans. If liquid evaporates before rice is done, stir in water (about 1/2 cup at a time), and cook until done.
