	Rice Beans

		CARIBBEAN RICE AND BEANS 1 Tbs. oil 2 tsp. minced garlic 1 cup coarsely chopped onions 1 red chili pepper, seeded and chopped, or crushed red pepper flakes 1 cup diced red bell pepper 1 cup coarsely chopped plum tomatoes 2 - 2 1/4 cups boiling water (use higher amount in jiggle-top pressure cookers) 1 1/2 cups long-grain brown rice 1/2 cup dried, grated, unsweetened coconut 1/2 tsp. dried thyme or oregano leaves 1 tsp. salt or to taste 1 cup cooked pigeon or black-eyed peas 1/4 cup finely minced cilantro 2 ripe plantains, peeled and cut on diagonal into thin slices and fried Heat oil in pressure cooker. Add garlic, onions and chili pepper; cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, water, rice, coconut, thyme and salt. Lock lid in place. If using a jiggle-top cooker, set on a flame tamer. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower heat just enough to maintain high pressure; cook 25 minutes. Allow pressure to come down naturally 10 minutes (if after 10 minutes pressure is not released, use a quick-release method to release lid). Remove lid. Add cooked peas and cilantro. Stir well to distribute coconut. Serve topped with plantains. Serves 6.
