Sarina?s Pigeon Peas and Rice (recipe)
2009-02-05 05:05:00 This dish of pigeon peas and rice was the perfect accompaniment to the Crispy Lemon Chicken that I made earlier this year. The rice and peas are cooked together in a rich combination of fresh thyme and coconut milk with wedges of tomatoes and (if desired) a scotch bonnet pepper. The final result is quite similar to the scent and flavour of Jamaican peas and rice, a sentimental fave of mine, and should be a little less daunting in execution especially for new cooks. Sarina’s Pigeon Peas and Rice INGREDIENTS: 2 cups ... Related posts:Sarina’s Caribbean Rice and Peas (recipe)Curried Rice (recipe)Curried Pumpkin and Rice (recipe) More About: Recipe
