Jamaican Rice and Peas (Red Beans and Rice)
1 (16-ounce) package dried red kidney beans
8 cups, plus 4 cups water
3 cloves crushed garlic
1 coconut
3 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 pound butter
4 cups uncooked rice
Bring beans, 8 cups water, and garlic to boil at high heat.
Crack coconut, remove shell, and cut meat into small pieces. Put half of the coconut into blender with 2 cups water and puree. Repeat for remaining coconut. Strain the coconut through a strainer squeezing the milk out of the coconut (you will end up with approximately 3 cups of coconut milk).
Add coconut milk, scallions, salt, and butter to the beans and bring to a boil. Then add rice and stir with a fork. Turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes or until water is cooked out. Be sure not to stir the rice until water is gone.
*** USE CANNED BEANS INSTEAD OF DRY BEANS ***
WILL GET SAME EFFECT
