Instructions
Combine Ingredients
Add the coconut milk, water, kidney beans, garlic, and salt to a medium saucepan and stir everything together over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Add the Rice
Stir in the white rice, bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot tightly with a lid.
Cook Until Fluffy
Cook on low heat for 18 to 20 minutes without lifting the lid so the steam cooks the rice all the way through and makes it perfectly fluffy.
Fluff and Serve
Remove from heat and let the pot sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite Caribbean meal.
