Bahamian Peas & Rice image

I do not like beans in any way, shape or form. That said, my fiancee found it very amusing when I ate this dish every day for lunch during our vacation in the Bahamas. It wasn't until we returned that he let me know these 'peas' were actually beans!!

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of chopped peanuts in this recipe. The sunflower seeds added a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the dish.

I used brown rice instead of white rice in this recipe. The brown rice gave the dish a more nutty flavor and a chewier texture.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the scotch bonnet pepper from this recipe. The dish was still very flavorful without it.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually make a big batch of rice on the weekend, and then I use it to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy way to get a delicious meal on the table.
