• In a large flat bottomed pan (like large aluminum or soup pot), saute rice with other 1/2 c onion, garlic and hot pepper till peppers smell fragrant.
• Measure out coconut milk, reserved bean water, and any extra water to make 6 cups total liquid.
• Add 6 cups liquid, 1 tsp sugar, 3 tsp salt, and cooked beans to rice.
• Cover and simmer on lower heat till all water is absorbed (20"?).
• Make sure rice is good and dry, and then fluff with large serving fork. (Sometimes I let the rice dry out on the very lowest notch after it's done for up to 30"). Yes it will stick to the pan a little bit. The Panamanians call this dried sticky part concolon, and consider it a tasty addition to the dish.
