What Is Jamaican Rice and Peas?
Rice simmered in coconut milk with kidney beans, thyme, scallion and pimento, the side that anchors a Jamaican plate.
The peas are beans
Peas means beans here: kidney beans, cooked with the rice rather than served alongside.
Coconut milk does the work
The rice is simmered in coconut milk, so it comes out fragrant and faintly sweet, never plain.
What it goes with
Oxtail, curry goat, brown stew and jerk chicken. If a Jamaican plate has a starch, this is usually it.
