Stewed Peas and Pigtails is a hearty Jamaican dish celebrated for its bold flavors and traditional appeal. Made with red kidney beans (referred to as “peas” locally), pig tails, coconut milk, thyme, scallions, garlic, and Scotch bonnet pepper, the dish is slow-cooked to develop rich, savory notes. Dumplings, yams, and often white rice are added for texture and nourishment, making it a filling meal. While it offers protein from the pig tails and fiber and vitamins from the kidney beans, the dish is also high in sodium owing to the cured pig tails and may contain saturated fats. Its use of natural spices and coconut milk provides beneficial antioxidants and healthy fats, but moderation is encouraged for those mindful of their heart health or sodium intake. Stewed Peas and Pigtails is a delicious representation of Jamaican homestyle cooking, offering both comfort and cultural heritage in every bite.
