I am desperately trying to remember where I got this recipe. I served it with some Caribbean Jerk Salmon. Delicious! The peas are not really peas, but rather red beans. This was very good, and not very spicy. perhaps it was because I only used a jalapeno instead of a Scotch bonnet or Habanero pepper. I also didn't have coconut milk (which would have been delicious and added a ton of fat and calories) so I used chicken broth instead. Hopefully I'll find the link and add it in soon.
Jamaican Rice and Peas
1 1/2 cups dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight and drained
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Place beans and garlic in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2
hours. When the beans are tender, stir in the coconut milk, green
onions, Scotch bonnet, and thyme, and increase the heat to a boil. Stir
in the rice, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is tender and has
absorbed most of the liquid. Transfer to a large serving bowl and
garnish with sliced green onions.
