Here's a Jamaican rice recipe that's sure to add a spring to your stride. Here are the ingredients:

* 2 cups long grain rice
* I cup red kidney beans and a cup of Pigeon peas ( both optional)
* 1 cup fresh coconut milk
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
* 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
* One large Habanero pepper
* A pinch of salt and ground pepper

Soak the peas, and while draining them do not discard the water. Add it instead to the coconut milk, and make four cups of water. In a large skillet, sauté the onion, garlic and Habanero pepper till they become tender but retain their crispiness. Now add the rice and liquid and cover. Allow it to simmer for 30 minutes on low heat.

Once all the liquid is absorbed, the rice will turn soft and fluffy. Gently fluff with a fork.
