Recipe for Jamaican/West Indian side dish of rice and peas. I first got it from a site called www.recipes4us.co.uk when I was looking for how to make this to accompany some Reggae Reggae Chicken I was cooking.
1. Drain the liquid from the can of beans into a measuring jug, add the coconut mile and enough water to make up 960ml/32fl.oz of liquid,
2. Place the liquids into a large saucepan, together with the beans, onion, garlic, crumbled stock cube, thyme and butter. Bring this to the boil, stirring well to mix the ingredients.
3 Add the rice and salt to taste, then stir gently until the pan comes back up to the boil. Reduce the heat to a low setting and place the whole chilli pepper(s) on top of the liquid. Cover tightly and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes.
REMOVE THE CHILLI PEPPER BEFORE SERVING.
You can substitute the black-eyed beans with other sorts of beans if you prefer. Popular choices include kidney beans or pigeon beans, or you can, as I've done before, use a combination of different beans.

As the rice is cooking, it's also worth checking it occasionally (but not too soon/often) to ensure it doesn't boil dry and/or start sticking to the bottom of the pan. Just give it a gentle turn with a spoon if it feels like it is starting to stick on.
