Jamaican rice and peas
Recipe video above. Perfumed with thyme and all spice with a hint of traditional warmth from fresh chilli, this Jamaican coconut rice makes the perfect side dish for tropical themed foods such as Jerk Fish or Chicken, with a side of Jamaican slaw!Baking is best - Ordinarily, this dish is prepared on the stove. But I find the most fuss-free way to make coconut rice is in the oven.Fluffier, no scorched base, entirely hands off. Try it. You'll be converted for life!
