Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup dried kidney beans
5 cups water
2 tbsp onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
1 pinch thyme
2 cups white rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp olive oil (to saute onion and garlic)

Directions:

Soak the beans overnight. Cook them in a pressure cooker (or stovetop if you have patience and time), with 5 cups of water. Make sure the beans are clean, because you will need to use the cooking water when you are done.
In a large pot or dutch oven, saute the onion and garlic. Add the cooked beans and bean water, salt and pepper, and a pinch of thyme. Add the rice and coconut milk. Cover and cook over a low flame until rice is done. Make sure to stir it occasionally.
