As a country girl from the low country near Charleston, SC, rice is my all time favorite food. THANK HEAVENS it’s plant based and vegan friendly! This coconut pepper rice is inspired by my love of Jamaican rice and peas. One day, I simply didn’t have any quick canned beans or peas to add to some rice, but I wanted the same yummy flavor. I had some red bell pepper on hand and voila – Coconut Pepper Rice was born.
With just a few simple ingedients, coconut pepper rice is usually ready in about 12 minutes and is the perfect flavor bed for many sauces, gravies, beans or as pictured here with my all time favorite Sunday Dinner line up. When I was growing up BBQ Chicken, Rice, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese and Candied yams was my favorite Sunday dinner meal and my mom used to hook it up! These days, I’m happy to say that I don’t have to miss my mom’s cooking, I can prepare it vegan style and enjoy my favorites almost guilt free.
