Jamaican rice and peas is a traditional Caribbean dish made with rice and kidney beans (referred to as “peas” in Jamaica) cooked in coconut milk and flavored with ingredients like scallions, thyme, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, and allspice. The dish is typically seasoned with salt and pepper and may include additional spices such as ginger or cloves. It’s a staple in Jamaican cuisine, often served as a side dish with meats like jerk chicken or pork. The coconut milk gives it a creamy texture, while the herbs and spices provide a rich, aromatic flavor.
