Cooking
Let's start with the ingredients. The RIS may be any, but with a long grain. Often come across recipes with white rice, but there are brown. Prior training is not required. Beans you can take canned, but you can cook it yourself. In the second case, you will need to soak. Cook beans until soft, so that the grain can be easily crushed.
Coconut milk you can take canned or dry. And this ingredient on closer examination turns out to be not so available. Milk can be expensive or no sale at all. But we then use the fresh coconut. It is cheap and can be found in stores as often as bananas and apples.
The extracted milk from coconut. Can find detailed recipe of Larissa http://www.povarenok.ru/recipes/show/56491/ Or even simplify the process, resorting to the help of a blender. Coconut flesh is placed in the bowl ...
Add to the coconut about a Cup of water and at high speed, bring it to condition rough puree.
Using a gauze or a sieve to squeeze the milk. Will try and squeeze dry. Measure milk and add water to it so that the liquids get 4 cups.
Coconut in this dish is not useful to us, but it can be used in a number of other nutritious foods, for example, Lean to bake coconut muffins http://www.povarenok.ru/recipes/show/63806/.
Further, all very simple. Onion and garlic finely chop. The green onion, crush (so necessary!) the handle of the knife. Chili pepper clear from the seeds, but grind it won't, to not make the rice spicy, just give it a subtle spicy taste.
Onions podrumyanivaya on a dry pan (on Sunday you can use a spoon of vegetable oil ;-) ). Add to the onions the garlic.
To the onions and garlic add the rice, beans, pepper, green onions, thyme, salt, coconut milk and water. Cook on low heat under the lid until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and become soft. 20-40 minutes depending on rice varieties. Remove from the heat and leave the rice to stand for a bit. Green onions and hot pepper from the dish clean.
