ANOTHER ONE IS

ARROZ CON GANDULES

1 sm. onion
3 pieces of garlic
1 sm. green pepper
1 can of coconut cream
2 cans of Goya beans
4 c. rice
Salt to taste
Pinch of black pepper

Fry onions, garlic and green peppers in a little oil, when onion is transparent, add coconut cream and 2 cans of beans, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and add 4 cups of rice and some water if needed to cover rice. Wait for water to drain down and cook to simmer, turning rice until finished.

Really it does not matter what kind of bean you use, as long as it is something you will like, but typically pigeon peas are used. Honestly, I like to make my own things, so I will actually like it. Just try and see how it turns out. Good luck :)
