6 servings
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Ingredient noteCandida diets often limit beans early on because they are high in starch. This recipe works out to only about 1/4 cup of beans per serving, which is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid beans, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 ½ cups water
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 stalks scallions, whole
- 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper
- 4 whole allspice berries
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed
Instructions
- 1
Combine the kidney beans, coconut milk, water, garlic, thyme sprigs, whole scallions, whole scotch bonnet, allspice berries, butter, salt, and black pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once to dissolve the salt.

Add the rinsed rice and stir to distribute evenly. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover tightly and cook for 25 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and the grains are tender and separate.
