Tweet #vegan This recipe is a side dish, best served along with the Jamaican vegan jerk chicken style seitan. Find the recipe here. Eating the traditional peas and rice by itself isn’t bad, but to me it’s rather bland. With Jamaican peas and rice, the soft flavors paired with the spiciness of the jerk seasoning […]
