Jamaican Rice & Peas
Cooking Instructions
- 1
If using can beans pour bean in 2 cups of boiling water and follow the rest of the recipe. If used red kidney beans wash beans and then add to 7 cups of water with the garlic and allow to cook or until beans are tender. Used pressure cooker for quicker cooking

To the cooked beans stir in coconut milk or cream(if used powder mix it in 1 cup of water), salt, seasoning,thyme,pepper,butter,jamaican pepper and cover and cook for 5mins

Wash rice and then stir it into coconut mixture. Cover and let simmer for 20 mins on low heat or until rice is cooked and all the liquid is dried up. Ps less liquid the better so the rice doesnt become a puddle. I'd say liquid should be 1inch above the rice.if your liquid is too much the cooking time is longer and the rice will be overcooked. Stir occasionally throughout the cooking period to ensure all grains of the rice is cooked and doesnt stick to the pot.

Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas" Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas"
Rice and Peas is a natural accompaniment to Jerk Chicken (which I shared yesterday):https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/5968381-simple-yellow-jasmine-rice-peasand since Jasmine is the default rice in our kitchen, Jasmine Rice and Peas it is. Though it's often made with some kind of red bean or pigeon peas, we had black beans in the cupboard, so I used those.Though turmeric is not a typical ingredient as far as I know, it adds an appealing natural yellow color, a barely detectable flavor in small quantities, and has great health benefits, so I often add turmeric to flavored rice dishes.Many Rice and Peas recipes include thyme, a Scotch Bonnet or Habanero chili, and sometimes even a little bit of allspice, which makes for a delicious standalone rice dish.But for me, in the case of something as hot, spicy and complex in flavor as Jamaican Jerk Chicken, the overall meal is enhanced by a simpler version of Rice and Peas with a mild savory note from a little onion and garlic, and the creamy offset to all that heat from a little bit of coconut milk.If you disagree, it's easy enough to add those herbs and spices back in. :)

I came up with this recipe trying to find a side to eat with Jerk Chicken. My family doesn't care for the kidney beans or coconut milk that most traditional Caribbean rice dishes are made with so we tried something different. It came out great! Super flavourful!

Red Beans & Rice Red Beans & Rice
Note: this is what happens when there’s not many “rice” eaters in the fam. Most of the beans and sausage is eaten and mostly bean juice and rice is left over. That’s when the juice and rice is mixed together for another dish. #GlobalApron 2024
