This is a very simple and delicious side dish that goes great with any Caribbean cuisine. These rice and beans are highly flavorful, with the combination over garlic and onions, coconut milk and a habanero. You can use any type of bean in this recipe. You really can't go wrong any way. I used a Dominican red bean. For the rice, you want to use a long grain rice. I used basmati. If you want the flavor of the habanero but don't want to burn your face off, make sure to leave it whole. This really goes for using hot peppers in any cuisine.
