Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the beans and cloves in a medium pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until very tender, about 1 hour. Drain the beans, reserving the liquid. Add enough water to the liquid to equal 4 cups total.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, with a mortar and pestle, combine the garlic, parsley and scallion and mash into a paste.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil over high heat in a large kettle with a tight-fitting lid. Add the scallion paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the beans, coconut milk and onion and cook, covered, for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the reserved liquid and the adobo and cook, covered, for 25 minutes. Stir in the Picalese and bell pepper and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice and cook, covered, until tender, about 25 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
