Rice and Peas

This is a Jamaican dish I found in Extending the Table. The servings size is for a main dish serving, but this can also be a side dish for barbecued or jerk chicken. This recipe starts with soaking dried beans overnight, but that is not reflected in the times.

Great rice and beans! I really enjoyed the creamy texture, due to the coconut milk!! I used Scotch bonnet for the pepper and fresh parsley for the garnish. This recipe takes a little bit of planning ahead, but it is worth it. I served it with fish but it will stand alone as my lunch tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the leftovers! ~Made for ZWT5 Epicurean Queens. Gorgon!~

I've had Caribbean food out and didn't care for it. This was divine. I used canned gandules (pigeon peas) with the liquid, but everything else I prepared as written. I loved the aroma while cooking and I will make this again. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT5.
