Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups uncle ben's converted brand rice
3 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
1 (14 1/2 oz) can pigeon peas
3 1/2 cups water (or use the required amount for the rice cooker)
1 scotch bonnet pepper (left whole )

Directions:

Pour the rice in the rice cooker.
Combine the water, green pigeon peas with coconut milk, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and scallions. Pour over the rice. Rice should be completely covered with water, and at least an inch above it if this recipe is like others I have cooked.
Place Scotch bonnet in the pot (Do not cut it up if you don't want a lot of heat.) Turn on the rice cooker. Serve when finished. Don't keep the rice cooker on warm as it will burn the bottom of the rice.
