Easy to make and the result was a very creamy rice dish. Everyone liked the hint of coconut flavor. I also had to add some salt and pepper to the finished product to meet our tastes. I'm sure I'll make it again. Thanks for posting.

This rice tastes just like the rice my friends from the island make. My girlfriend who is Jamaican couldn't believe I made taste so good

now with 3 scotch bonnet peppers, which i did not remove, using small red beans instead of kidney beans and serving the rice with grilled steak instead of chicken, really made a wonderful difference, it is definitely a 5 star recipe and a keeper!!!

I used small red beans instead of kidney beans and increased to 2 peppers based on the other reviews. The next time I will increase the number of peppers even more and also increase the thyme. This is a very good recipe though and does taste very much like the peas and rice you get in the islands. Thanks for sharing.

This was GREAT! I made it to accompany some turkey empanadas. The flavor of the rice and the filling from the empanada complement each other wonderfully! I used canned beans, and just a 12oz can of coconut milk, I also omitted the onions. Thanks for a great recipe!! I can't wait to pair it with other dishes!

This recipe is awesome. My husband and kids loved it. I added a few of my own spices, such as West Indian salt butter and creamed coconut in addition to the coconut milk. This tasted like I was at a restaurant! I made it with some stew turkey wings and it was a hit!
