About Pelau
Pelau is a hearty one-pot dish originating from Trinidad and Tobago, with roots in Creole cuisine. A well-loved Caribbean comfort food, it typically features a mix of caramelized chicken or other protein, rice, pigeon peas, coconut milk, and aromatic seasonings like thyme, garlic, and scallions. The dish is known for its rich, smoky flavor and vibrant combination of ingredients. Pelau provides a good source of carbohydrates from the rice, protein from the meat or beans, and healthy fats from the coconut milk. It also incorporates vegetables and legumes, which add fiber and essential nutrients. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—higher amounts of oil or fatty meats can increase calorie and fat content. Balanced portions and healthy ingredient choices can make Pelau a delicious and nourishing dish suitable for a variety of diets.
