Dinner Tonight: West Indian Rice and Beans
I am from the Caribbean and I can tell you our Rice and Peas DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT, depending on our Country you use either Pigeon Peas, Red Beans or Black-eyes Peas and we ALWAYS use dried peas that has been soaked.We don't use the vegetable stock as the recipe says but the water the peas or beans has been pressured in (pressured to get the peas soft). In the finish product the rice is cooked but still firm and the flavors of all the ingredients have married.
