Directions
Caribbean Rice and Peas,This makes a one dish meal, and is very versatile. You can use turkey kielbasa to lower the fat content, or any smoked sausage. For the greens, you can substitute your favorite…use spinach, collard, or turnip greens. This recipe is from the food network magazine.,I love this version of rice and beans. The caribbean jerk seasoning adds really great flavor, and it’s a good way to hide collards for eaters that don’t particularly like them. The rice came out perfectly done; it’s supposed to be a moist dish. used about 4 oz. of tomato sauce instead of tomato paste….just didn’t have the latter. I cooked it until the liquid was mostly gone and it was brick red, as described in the recipe.
