How to make Jamaican Rice and Peas

I like to drain the water to get rid of the gas. I use fresh water without the gas.

I'm going to try this and I'm going to use Toni's secret since my youngest daughters name is Toni.....:) Thanks for sharing

@curlybliss Let me know how it turned out. :)

Good video. I use canned peas sometimes but you can't cook them much as they are cooked already. In addition to what you have done, I usually add a little tomato ketchup, thyme and a little butter. We have done so for generations.

u can also add a whole scotch bonnet pepper to the mix when u add the scallion for a more traditional flavor

@mypuppyarnold91 Good Idea!

good video my grandmother always put a table spoon of brown sugar in her rice and peas

The secret of adding sugar was shared by by cousin Toni. Apparently it is a very old custom.

You know what I've never seen granny put any sugar in before, however, I'll try it. Good video

Thank you very much. The idea of using sugar came from my cousin, Toni. Her Rice n' Peas always tasted so very good. She finally told me her secret.

thanks for the variation. Now I know two ways. One with the can (shhh don't tell anybody) and one the traditional way.

You are very welcomed. Be creative and season to suit your taste. Tell me how yours turned out.
