I used Jasmine rice and it came out a bit moist, next time I would use white rice.

[@KennyLauderdale]

In Nicaragua rice and beans= gallo pinto

[@jadealexander8233]

How long do you wait for the beans to cook before adding the coconut milk?

[@grace9729]

i think they cook like an hr

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Actually Jade, the coconut milk is what is use to cook the beans, so it’s added about 5 minutes after adding the chopped garlic. If though, the Coconut Milk in the can or powder then it’s added when the beans are fully cooked.

Hi if I use canned coconut milk, how much will I need ?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

2-3 cups

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@patsiebentley111]

Please don't changed the recipe,by adding sugar , although I left Jamaica a long time,but I can remember,that no sugar was added .

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Hi Patsie, some people do add a bit of sugar, not to make it sweet, but just to balance out the flavors. As I mention, the sugar is optional.

[@davinchin7867]

How many cans to substitute of coconut milks

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

1 can of coconut milk was added That’s equivalent to about 2 cups

[@RenN1990]

What rice did you use?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Parboil Rice Any type of rice could be use

[@RenN1990]

@@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine I was just wondering if I could use long grain instead of basmati. If that was the rice used in the video 😊

[@childishgambino4845]

@1:25 so leaving the brown on the coconut is okay?

The brown is part of the coconut, it perfectly fine
