Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and diced (while handling, protect your hands and eyes, and avoid breathing fumes)

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 cup dry rice
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet. Gently saute onions, garlic and hot peppers, then add beans and vinegar and cook for about 5 minutes.
