Stew Peas and Rice
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.
