Instructions

Step 1

Wash rice until water runs clear. Drain water.

Step 2

Heat a saucepan with oil. Add onions, garlic, thyme, and hot pepper, and sauté for about a minute.

Step 3

Stir in rice to the pan, followed by beans, and cook for about 2 minutes. Then add coconut milk, bay leaf, and Creole spice with 2¼ cups of broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 20 minutes (or until it's the texture you like). Stir occasionally to prevent burning, and add more broth (or water) as needed.

Step 4

Adjust salt and pepper to your liking. Discard bay leaves.

Step 5

Enjoy!
