Peas means beans
In Jamaica, peas means red kidney beans or gungo peas, simmered together with the rice rather than served beside it. Coconut milk, thyme, scallion and whole pimento berries season the pot.
The dish everything sits on
Jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, escovitch fish — each arrives with rice and peas, and the gravy soaking in is the point. It comes with your main, or order extra on the side.
Everyone at the table can eat it
As we cook it, rice and peas is vegan and gluten free, so it is the one plate the whole table can share.
