#### Rice and Beans
* 1 cup (200g) basmati rice
* 1 bunch spring onions (finely chopped)
* 2 garlic cloves (minced)
* 1 tbsp salt
* 2 tsp allspice
* 6 sprigs thyme

* 1 can kidney beans (drained)

### Method
1. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges and fork the wedges a few times (this will help the flavour of the rub get right into the flesh of the sweet potato
2. Put all the Jerk Rub ingredients into a food processor and whizz them up into a thick paste
3. Pour the paste and the desiccated coconut and the wedges into a mixing bowl and mix everything round so the potatoes are well covered in flavour
4. Place the seasoned wedges on a baking tray, put the tray in the oven and bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes at 200℃ (352℉)
5. Pour the rice into a pan filled with cold water and stir it round until the water is cloudy. Pour the rice into a sieve to drain off the water and pour the rice back into the pan
6. Pour all the other ingredients, except the beans, back into the pan and lightly stir them into the rice
7. Put the rice on the stove, turn the heat up and when the rice hits boiling point, reduce the temperature, put the lid on, set to a gentle simmer and leave the pan on the stove for 10 minutes
8. Take the lid off, pour the beans into the pan, gently fold them into the rice and let the rice sit for 5 minutes
9. Take the wedges out of the oven and serve them immediately with the rice, a side salad, some chilli sauce and a sprinkle of mixed seeds.
