Stew Peas and Rice

Submitted by Superwomenblack

"This a finger licking recipe from the wonderful island of Jamaica. Learnt it from my mom and grandma and the taste is exceptional and will leave you wanting more. The scotch bonnet pepper adds a wonderful taste to this recipe so it may not be as inviting to children. However, if you wish you don't have to include the the hot pepper."

CAUTION: Make sure the coconut milk is not sweetened... otherwise, this is a fairly authentic recipe from the island.

This recipe is a winner! My parents are from Jamaica so they've made this many times but when I was younger I had no interest in cooking. This perfect recipe rescued me from my parents banter! T. Walker
