Stew Peas is a hearty Jamaican dish made from red kidney beans (called peas locally) stewed in coconut milk with garlic, scallions, thyme, Scotch bonnet pepper, and often salted pig’s tail, beef, or pigtail, simmered until creamy. Originating in Jamaican home kitchens, especially in rural areas, it’s traditionally served with white rice and sometimes includes spinners (small flour dumplings) for added texture. The dish is beloved for its rich, velvety consistency and balance of savory, smoky, and subtly sweet flavors.

Common variations include vegetarian stew peas, made without meat but with all the classic aromatics and coconut richness.
