Ingredients to cook Rice with Beans

8 CUPS OF WATER
1 CUP OF DRIED BEANS
2 1/4 CUP OF RICE
1 CUP OF COONUT MILK
2 TBS OF OLIVE OIL
1 1/2 TBS OF HAITIAN EPIS
1 TBS OF REGULAR BUTTER
1 TBS OF LILY BUTTER
1 GOYA PACKET
5 CLOVES
1 GREEN HOT PEPPER
PARSLEY & THYME

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium pot on medium to high heat, add beans and 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook beans for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

After an hour and 10 minutes has passed, remove the beans only (DONT THROW AWAY THE WATER, YOU WILL SAVE THAT FOR LATER TO ADD TO THE RICE)

Sautee the beans with the epis for 2 minutes. After 4 minutes has passed, add the coconut milk and add in the rest of the ingredients such as: goya packet, hot pepper, cloves and thyme/parsley and let simmer for 2 minutes

Now add the remaining water from the boiled beans and add it to the pot and add the butter

MAKE SURE YOU TASTE IT TO SEE IF IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL SALT (OPTIONAL)

After that wash the rice until the water runs clear and add the rice to the beans and let it simmer on medium high heat and let the water evaporate

After the water has evaporated let the rice cook for 30 minutes and once it's done remove the cloves, thyme/parsley and hot pepper.

Serve & Bon Appetit !!! :)
