About Stewpeas

Stewpeas is a traditional Jamaican dish celebrated for its hearty, rich flavors and satisfying texture. Typically made with red kidney beans (commonly referred to as “peas” in Jamaica), this stew features a blend of coconut milk, vegetables, aromatic spices, and often protein additions like salted meat, pigtail, or chicken. Vegetarian versions are increasingly popular and incorporate plant-based ingredients such as vegetable stock or tofu. The coconut milk provides creaminess and healthy fats, while kidney beans are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium. However, traditional versions of stewpeas may also include higher sodium levels due to salted meats, making moderation key for those mindful of their salt intake. A comforting and versatile dish, stewpeas reflects the vibrant flavors and resourceful cooking methods of Jamaican cuisine, offering both nutritional benefits and festive indulgence.
