About Rice and peas
Rice and Peas is a staple dish in Jamaican cuisine, often enjoyed across the Caribbean. Despite the name, it typically features rice cooked with kidney beans or pigeon peas, combined with creamy coconut milk, fragrant herbs like thyme, scallions, and garlic, and seasoned with allspice or Scotch bonnet pepper for a subtle kick. This dish is traditionally paired with meats or fish but also stands alone as a hearty vegetarian option. Rich in carbohydrates, protein, and fiber from the beans, Rice and Peas offers sustained energy and digestive benefits. However, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation. The coconut milk and added oils contribute healthy fats but can also increase saturated fat content. Moderation and balanced pairing make it a flavorful and nourishing addition to meals, embodying the essence of Caribbean culinary heritage.
