Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 cups vegetable broth, divided
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained
1 cup light coconut milk
1 tbsp jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground allspice
3/4 cup medium- grain white rice
1 cup green onion, thinly sliced, divided

Directions:

Combine 2 cups broth, beans, coconut milk, jalapeno pepper, thyme, and allspice in a heavy large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in rice. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until most of liquid is absorbed and rice is almost tender, stirring often, about 20 minutes.
Mix 3/4 cup green onions into rice. Continue to simmer until rice is very tender and mixture is creamy, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture seems dry and stirring often, about 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup green onions.
