rice and peas
Jamaican side dish
Rice and peas is a Caribbean dish of rice cooked with kidney beans or pigeon peas in coconut milk, typically seasoned with thyme and scotch bonnet pepper.
Despite the name, "peas" refers to beans—a Caribbean usage.
The dish is a staple of Jamaican Sunday dinner and appears throughout the West Indies: We're having jerk chicken with rice and peas.
