"The peas in this aren't really peas at all, but red beans. It is customary in the Caribbean to refer to beans as "peas".

The scotch bonnet is not as fiery as you'd think as well, since it is added whole and not..."

"This is a traditional and spicy side dish. The "peas" in Jamaica refer to beans, kidney beans in this recipe. Scotch bonnet is one of the hottest peppers. If you don't want this to be quite as spicy, you could use habanero or jalapeno peppers. From Food & Wine. Enjoy!"

For a mildly spiced curry, use Patak's Korma curry paste and for a hotter use Patak's Madras curry paste and a chili if desired. The amounts given serve "two pigs"..."
