Hey there beautiful people!
My savory Jamaican Stew Peas recipe is sure to delight the senses of your entire family. Jamaican Stew Peas is a traditional stew made with stew beef, salt beef and pigs tail. Slow cooked with red kidney beans and creamy coconut milk. Oh my! You can already get a sense of how rich these flavors must be. Then, it is served over white rice for a completely delicious meal.
Jamaican Stew Peas Remixed
However, this is a versatile dish that can be cooked with meat or made vegetarian friendly. I have remixed the ingredients list to reflect my personal preference. At home, I normally make Jamaican Stew Peas without pork or beef, so that it is completely vegetarian. The stew remains just as flavorful. In this particular recipe, I used turkey. Check out my YouTube video to see how I make mine! To top it off, you must enjoy it with some sweet fried plantain. I have a video showing you how to fry ripe plantains, right HERE.
So, Jamaican Stew Peas takes quite some time to prepare. It is a labor of love. The results are worth every second. The proof is in the pot! You can soak the red kidney beans overnight in order to save some time cooking.
