1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.
2. Add the rice, drained beans, coconut milk and thyme if using.
3. Bring to a simmer then cover and cook over low heat until most of the coconut milk has evaporated, about 15 minutes. (The mixture should be moist but not watery.).
