I didn’t care for this recipe. It had heat, but it was very bland and boring. The texture was nice, but there just wasn’t much flavor.
I like it but I usually make the “Jerk Chicken” recipe at the same time and then mix the two together. The chicken compliments it very nicely
we love this recipe. not traditional red beans and rice but delicious. Not too salty, not mushy. I add a package of Healthy Choice smoked sausage.
Nathalie, you must be a Jamaican, I tried it with the jerk chicken it was delish
