About Jamaican stew peas
Jamaican Stew Peas is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Jamaican cuisine, showcasing the island’s rich culinary traditions. Traditionally made with red kidney beans (known locally as "peas"), salted or fresh meats like pig’s tail or chicken, coconut milk, and aromatic herbs and spices such as thyme, scallions, and Scotch bonnet peppers, this dish is slow-cooked to perfection. Dumplings, often referred to as “spinners,” are added for extra texture. The use of kidney beans provides a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, while coconut milk adds healthy fats that enhance the creamy consistency. However, depending on the meats selected, the dish can be high in saturated fat and sodium, particularly when using cured meats like salted pig’s tail. Moderation and ingredient modifications can make this comforting, protein-packed meal a more balanced option for all to enjoy.
