About Jamaican peas and rice
Jamaican Peas and Rice is a flavorful dish rooted in traditional Jamaican cuisine, often enjoyed as a staple side. It typically combines rice, kidney beans or pigeon peas, and coconut milk, seasoned with fragrant spices like thyme, garlic, scallions, and sometimes Scotch bonnet peppers for a touch of heat. This dish is rich in plant-based protein from the beans, fiber from the rice, and essential fats from the coconut milk, making it a filling and nutritious choice. Brown rice is sometimes used for added health benefits, providing complex carbohydrates and additional nutrients. While it can be high in calories due to the coconut milk, using light coconut milk or moderating portion sizes can make it a balanced option. Jamaican Peas and Rice embodies the vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients of Caribbean cooking, offering both sustenance and a delightful taste of the islands.
