Brown some chopped lard, with spices such as garlic, thyme and green pepper in a pot. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and the beans. Pour in the water that had cooled the beans and if needed add more water to cook the rice. Let the liquid mixture boil before adding 2 cups rice. Cover and let cook on low heat for 30 minutes. (Coconut milk when added to the water will tremendously flavor this recipe.)
