Rice

Steps — Using dried red peas

Steps — Using canned peas

Steps — Coconut milk

Rice and Peas (Jamaica)

If using dried peas, rinse and sort beans and place them into a container. Add enough tap water to cover the peas by 2 inches. Cover the container and place in the fridge overnight.

Drain and rinse peas. Cook peas, 1 tsp of salt, garlic, and 2 cups of water on medium-low until peas are nearly cooked (about 45 minutes). Replenish water as needed until peas are almost cooked.

When peas are nearly cooked, add coconut milk, escallion, onion, thyme, pimento, Scotch bonnet pepper, sugar, and remaining salt. Cook until liquid is reduced to about twice the quantity of rice.*

Add the rice, bring to a boil, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 30–40 minutes.

Depending on the variety of rice, it may take less or more time. Fluff with a fork and serve.
