Rice and Peas

The perfect accompaniment to Homestyle Jerk Chicken.

Measurement Conversion Calculator

Drain and rinse the gungo peas, and heat the oil in a heavy-based pan that has a lid.
Fry the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring every now and again, letting it soften and brown a little. Then add the chopped chilli and garlic, and give everything a good stir around.
Now stir in the rice, making sure it is all slicked with oil, then pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable stock, and stir in the drained gungo peas.
Bring to a bubble, clamp on the lid, turn down the heat to very low and let it cook gently for 15 minutes.
Check the rice is cooked through and the liquid is all absorbed – give the rice another 5 minutes if need be. Sprinkle with the freshly chopped thyme, and season with salt if desired, forking it through.
Pile up each dinner plate with coconutty rice and sit a piece of hot-crusted chicken proudly on top.
