Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add in the onion, bell peppers, and garlic powder. Sauté the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, until the peppers start to soften and the onion is fragrant and translucent.
Next, add the drained beans to the pot and stir everything well to combine. Add in the black pepper, Himalayan sea salt, thyme, and maple syrup. Stir everything well to incorporate, then let the mixture cook to incorporate for several minutes.
Add the coconut milk and diced green onion to the pot and stir well, then increase the heat to medium-high, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot along with the boiling water. Stir everything well, then bring the mixture to a low boil. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer. Continue cooking for ~50 minutes, or until the rice has completely absorbed the liquid and is soft and chewy. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Allow the rice to stand covered for ~5 minutes before serving.
Serve the rice topped with diced green onion and any additional toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
