Coconut Red Beans And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup dried red beans (small)
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small dried red chili
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
4 4 cups vegetarian broth or 4 cups water
2 cups long-grain white rice
salt, to taste

Preparation

Pick and debris from beans then rinse and drain them.
In a 6 quart pot combine beans, onion, garlic, chili, coconut milk, and broth.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are almost completely soft when pressed, 75-90 minutes.
Stir in rice, cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. (add a little extra broth or water if needed to prevent sticking.).
Discard chili. Add salt to taste.
