Coconut Rice (Nigerian Style) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup rice (feel free to substitute brown rice if needed)
    1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
    1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    4 medium habanero peppers
    1 small green pepper (diced)
    1 small yellow onion (diced)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
    Boil the rice in water for about 10-15 minutes (enough were it's not too soft -- because we will be cooking it some more).
    Heat the vegetable oil in a cooking pot.
    Add the onions and stir with black pepper for one minute.
    Add diced tomatoes, habaneros, and coconut milk with the sea salt and cover to cook for about 7 minutes (or when the mixture comes to a boil).
    Add the rice and stir and cover for about 7 minutes (or when the rice is almost dry).
    Add the green peppers and let simmer until the rice has absorbed all the juices.
    Enjoy!
    *note feel free to add more salt and pepper to your taste.
