This is going to be your new favorite side dish. Originating in the Caribbean, this recipe uses coconut milk to give a uniquely sweet flavor to the rice. The beans provide enough protein to the dish to be a stand alone meal, however, it is also delicious accompanied with a flank steak or chicken.
Pour in the drained tomatoes, kidney beans, cilantro, rice and salt and mix gently until well blended. Add the coconut milk and water and mix again.
Cover with lid and bring to high heat allowing it to come to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked.
