INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in pressure cooker. Add garlic, onions and chili pepper; cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, water, rice, coconut, thyme and salt. Lock lid in place. If using a jiggle-top cooker, set on a flame tamer. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower heat just enough to maintain high pressure; cook 25 minutes. Allow pressure to come down naturally 10 minutes (if after 10 minutes pressure is not released, use a quick-release method to release lid). Remove lid. Add cooked peas and cilantro. Stir well to distribute coconut. Serve topped with plantains. Serves 6. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest by "jack lewis" <jlewis@bigsky.net> on Aug 14, 98
