to the boil again. Lower the heat then add the cocos, yam, escallion, thyme, whole and sliced pepper, Salt and pepper to taste, at this point you can add vegetables or dumplings.  Simmer for a further 15 minutes or until the cocos and yam are tender
when tested with a fork. Before serving, remove the whole pepper.
