What a great recipe loveleesmile, I made this dish exactly as written adding the scotch bonnet pepper... it was so good. The rice and peas were excellent, perfectly cooked, spiced, tender and flavorful. A wonderful meal served with pork tenderloin and roasted carrots. Thank you so much for sharing your quick and easy to make recipe.
