Red Peas Stew (Stewed Peas)
Many of us enjoy this Jamaican favourite with pig's tail, and as we get more health-and-calorie-conscious, many are opting to have it ‘ital’, i.e. without pig's tail. No matter what’s inside, this comforting stew is sure to satisfy the most discerning palate. Stewed Peas has a distinct earthy taste contrasted by the natural sweet spice of the pork. If you add spinners (mini dumplings) in your pot, you’ve just introduced a neutral element that will balance each forkful of this tasty, filling dish.
Perfect pairing: With or without pigs tail, an earthy glass of pinot noir is sure to complement the rich legumes from the red pea base for this meal. The smoky aroma of a pinot noir is just what the doctor ordered for your rich, vitamin C-laden serving of this Jamaican favourite.
