Menu detail
COOKING 101 SERIES - Jamaican Rice & Peas
Small Plate
Rice and peas was adopted from the Akan tribe hailing from Ghana and Ivory Coast in West Africa.
The dish, which still exists in those countries today, is known as Waakye and of course consists of the usual rice and beans. However, the Akans add sorghum leaves and baking soda, while Jamaicans flavor the pot with thyme and pepper.
One half of this popular dish is the staple, rice. Rice was popular in West African culture and the slaves brought the recipe with them to Jamaica and passed on the knowledge to their descendants.
To help them adjust to their new, horrid environment, the slaves cooked food that was familiar to them, including rice and peas.
Jamaican rice and peas has been nicknamed the Coat of Arms. Use of this term was first noted in 1930, when A. Bain Alves recalled how hundreds of men and women at a race meeting in Kingston could get up to “a quattie rice and peas” also known as Jamaican Coat of Arms. Fast forward decades later and “Jamaican Coat of Arms” is still ascribed to our rice and peas.
Sunday is the most popular day for serving rice and peas? It’s certainly not coincidental. The practice dates back to the days of slavery. Back in the 1700’s, slaves were only allowed Sundays off from their backbreaking work. And on this day, the best foods were served – chief among them was rice and peas.
From generation to generation, Jamaicans have been loyal to this dish and there are few occasions when rice and peas do not make the menu.
In addition to being an important part of Sunday entrée, rice and peas hold center stage at weddings, funerals, festivals and nearly every special event in Jamaica.
No longer reserved for Sundays, you can even find rice and peas on virtually every restaurant menu on the island.
