HOW TO COOK JAMAICAN GUNGO RICE AND PEAS RECIPE

Hey lovelies 💕💕 Today i will be making Jamaican Gungo peas and rice recipe. This is the best way to cook gungo peas (pigeon peas) and rice. With coconut milk and your favorite Jamaican herbs and spices – pimento berries (allspice), thyme, scallion and scotch bonnet pepper. Gungo pea is the name for pigeon peas in Jamaica. There is no difference between pigeon peas and gungo peas, they are the same things. Gungo peas (pigeon peas) are small, round legumes that grow widely in tropical regions such as Jamaica. Even though Jamaicans mainly use dry gungo peas for their rice or soup recipes, it’s not uncommon for them to use the greener gungo. More often, these are Jamaicans like myself from the countryside who have a gungo peas tree in their backyard. You can eat green gungo peas raw, but they take less time to cook dry gungo peas.
