Test Kitchen Tip

Mustard greens add a peppery bite to this dish. If you prefer less pungency and a more mellow flavor, substitute collard or turnip greens.

Instructions

Boil coconut milk, ½ cup broth, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in rice, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes; let stand 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add onion; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in greens, tossing with tongs until wilted, 3 minutes. Add beans, broth, and pepper flakes and simmer until broth evaporates. Stir rice into greens mixture and add vinegar.
