Jamaican Rice and Peas
No Jamaican meal is complete without the iconic side dish: Rice and Peas. Often paired with jerk chicken or oxtail, this coconut-infused rice cooked with red kidney beans (or “peas” as Jamaicans call them) is a staple of Jamaican cuisine. Bursting with flavor from coconut milk, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper, this dish adds a perfect balance of spice and creaminess to any meal. Ready to perfect your side dish game? Let’s get cooking!
