Jamaican Red Beans And Rice by Kesha Stewart
There is virtually only one way to spell Sunday dinner in Jamaica and that is rice and peas (red beans and rice) and fried chicken. I am guessing that the secrets to preparing great tasting red beans and rice are closely guarded by the custodian of many kitchens across the island.
Since I have limited culinary accomplishments I have resorted to observation and experimentation in my kitchen to come up with my own version of this Sunday classic.

However, for this piece I will rely heavily on my motherโs recipe and recommendations since it has been tried tested and proven and add a bit of my own.
Ingredients
Steps/ Method
You may serve your red beans and rice with the protein of your choice.
However, in Jamaica, we usually serve this with fried or fricasseed chicken and sometimes fish.
If you are vegan then you may decide to prepare tofu or veggie balls to go along with this. A raw garden salad and a glass of chilled carrot juice completes the meal. If you decide to fry or bake your protein I would recommend a simple sauce or gravy for this meal.
Just by way of information, I have experimented with fever grass (also called lemon grass) in cooking over the last few years and I have found that it adds a very pleasant, subtle flavor to red beans and rice, sauces and meats.
If you decide to try it, I would recommend that you omit the pimento, rosemary or thyme as the flavours tend to be distracting. If you canโt get the fresh lemon grass use the teabags they work very well.
So now all you have to do is invite me over next Sunday to enjoy your special red beans and rice โ Jamaican style :-)
