Directions
In a non-stick medium pan, add the chopped bacon and cook until the fat is released then add the onion and garlic and cook until just soft over a low heat.
Add the beans, coconut milk, ham or sausage, cayenne pepper and thyme and bring to the boil.
Allow it to cook, stirring for about 1 minute.
Add the rice and 450ml boiling water, turn down the heat to barely a simmer, cover and leave undisturbed for about 25 minutes.
When the rice is tender, stir gently and add any leftover vegetables, then season to taste.
Serve in bowls and garnish with coriander sprigs, allow your guests to help themselves to the spicy sauce.
