    I recently tried this recipe and it turned out pretty good.
    We added a little garlic and Chinese 5-spice.

    "Cook-up rice" is an island way to use leftover vegetables and rice.
    "Whatever you have in the kitchen goes into the pot," says Claire
    Terrelonge, a Jamaican friend of mine. "Think of it as tropical fried
    rice." A hint of coconut milk endows the dish with a taste of the
    Caribbean.

    In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper,
    zucchini, mushrooms, and chili pepper, if desired, and saute for
    about 7 minutes. Add the water, coconut milk, rice, winter squash,
    and seasonings. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20
    minutes.

    Stir in the greens and beans and cook for a few minutes more. Turn
    off the heat, fluff the rice, and let sit on the stove top for about
    10 minutes.
