    Yum-O...my fam loved this one.
    A nice change from the cajun style.
    I subbed a little yellow onion for the scallions and left out the bell pepper. I had all the other ingredients and was glad I tried this keeper. Thanks !

    Jamaican Red Beans over Rice,This is a yummy recipe that can be used as either a side dish or a great vegetarian main dish! And with the warm weather finally here I’ve been experimenting with Island recipes, Jamaican being some of my favorite “flavors”. My fiancee’ went wild over this with Grilled Jerk Chicken made from the authentic Jamaican Jerk Sauce recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. (p.s. I’ve done this the long way and the short-cut method and while the taste is slightly different both are VERY good) Work time includes soaking of beans.,Yum-O…my fam loved this one.
