I grew up eating rice and beans, Louisiana-style. Whenever we went to visit my Aunt Lucille or Cousin Cleo in Lafayette, we would always buy several pounds of Camellia beans to last for a few months.
This Caribbean version is a change of pace from my childhood. In Jamaica they call it “Rice and Peas;” the peas are actually red kidney beans. In addition to providing solid vegan nutrition, it’s fast and easy to make when I’m in a hurry. And kids love the sweet, rich flavor of the coconut rice. Our boys call them “island-style!”
