Cook it:
Next, pressure-cook kidney beans in 5 cups of water with garlic and ginger for 15 minutes on low flame. (Start timing at the whistle.)
After that, add 2 cups coconut milk, with all seasonings (not butter yet if using), and then turn stove gauge flame low or lower. Use pot’s lid covers properly, allow simmer 20 minutes dissolves ingredients. As well flavors, the coconut milk properly prevent spoilage early.
(That is why I use ginger and garlic.)
While you wait on that to cook, wash and rinse rice with some white vinegar and water several times until the last rinsed water is clear. (Note: rinse rice near adding to coconut milk cooking.)
Now, turn stove gauge flame medium/high (8). Add rinsed rice, it should be about half to inch below coconut milk cooking, will not make rice soft.

Continue Cooking it:
Cover the pot with lid slightly opened. Allow simmering until dissolves coconut milk in rice; stir occasionally, cook for about 12 to 15 minutes.
After that, turn stove gauge flame very low. Put a clean clear plastic over rice in pot, and then cover with lid properly. (Using plastic makes rice steam properly).
After 15 minutes, stir rice bottom to top, remove scallion, thyme and scotch bonnet pepper. Cover and continue on very low flame!
After 20 to 35 minutes, it finishes. Stir occasionally!
(If you keep flame on very low rice and peas will never burn, while steaming.)
Rice and peas serves for Sunday dinner accompaniment.
