2-1/4 cups long-grain rice



Directions

In a large bowl, soak beans in water to cover overnight.

In a large saucepan with a tight fitting lid, place beans and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 3-1/2 hours, or until beans are tender.

Add green onion, garlic, hot chili pepper slices, thyme and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
