Rice and peas cooked in an oven? Chrissy Teigen shares her ‘Jamaican’ recipe
Rice and peas cooked in an oven? If you’re Jamaica reading this, accept our apologies. But its from a recipe, wife of John Legend, Chrissy Teigen was very proud to show off to her fans on
She also shared a very detailed recipe for how this ‘Jamaican rice and peas’ it is done.
“Jamaican rice and peas! Yes it’s beans. And yes it’s called rice and peas. Ginger, garlic and allspice berries are wrapped in cheesecloth and steeped in hot coconut milk and red beans, for hours until the aroma fills the house and the beans are tender.
Then it’s poured over uncooked white rice, green onions, and cracked peppercorns, and finished in the oven for about 25 minutes. Don’t forget to toss a scotch bonnet pepper into the milk! Oven rice is pure, wholesome perfection and I’m currently fascinated by it. I’ll share on the site in the next couple of weeks!,” she wrote.
