It looks . l washed my rice before I cook it, and l add 1 can of coconut milk and Bay leaf s to my rice. The canned coconut milk takes the rice to a whole different level of flavor.

We Puerto Ricans have something similar called arroz con gandules ( rice with pidgeon peas). Its our pride. I would love to try this!

This dish is a staple. Love pigeon peas and rice. Makes me want to go back to the Bahamas

It's so amazing everyone cooks differently but gets the same results. I'll try making my rice this way. I'm a Bahamian too.

Long Live The Bahamas! Great country!

Yah boy! I love this vid. You can tell you love to cook, from "heavy food" to "light food", even down to the desserts. I am loving your channel. Everyone must be have a set of these pots. They are great for soup, grits, and of course rice! Everyone have their special type of rice, and to be honest, I am a "grits" person, I'll admit, I ain no big fan of parboil rice, but if it looks as good as your pot, I would eat it. I love the fact that you cook down your herbs, and add that thyme. You can't have peas n rice without celery and that thyme!

I spent a lot of time in Freeport in the 70s and early 80s at Bamboo East. I love to cook like Mrs P!

Thank you for sharing Amazing recipe Dear Friend 🏻🏻🏻🏻🏻

I am awaiting Bahamian Land Crab & Rice.....yum yum

My grandma use to make this. She called it pigeon peas and rice. This looks DELICIOUS!!!

I'm bahamian, of course, I I've in the U.S. Your channel is the truth. Im cooking peas and rice, cracked conch, conch frutters, and potato salad all courtesy to your channel. Big uppss!!!!

The basics are the same but each house their own variation. I like yours (except for the parboiled rice ).

Thank you so much for this I’m in Canada right now wishing I had some Bahamian food I’m bout to attempt my own pot of rice

Nice - a couple of things to try. You can fry out some bacon first and use the oil for the sautéing (extra flavor) - I would add the peppers before the tomatoes (better to sauté them than steam them), and fry out the tomato paste for a short minute before adding the peas and rice. Additionally, you could consider rinsing the rice first if you would like it less sticky. Either way, I’m sure the taste will be superb. How are you with conch fritters ?

Love the accent and of course the Bahamian people.
