This is not an authentic Bahamian recipe. I did not try it so I do not know if it is good or not. I will however say that it should not be misrepresented as a typical Bahamian preparation for one the country's most loved dishes.

Never having been to the Bahamas I cannot vouch for the "authenticity" but I thought this was a pretty good recipe. It looked gorgeous while cooking! I was making this as a companion to jerk pork, but needed to also satisfy my vegetarian friends, so I eliminated all the meat. I also didn't know what browning sauce was so I threw in some soy sauce. It turned out pretty good. I think the bacon probably would have added some body to the flavor but it was still a hit. The coconut milk is a must! Thanks for a good recipe.

This is ridiculous! I don't know anyone in the Bahamas who cooks Peas 'N Rice this way!

Hi! My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend the winter on our sailboat in the Exumas. We ate a LOT of peas and rice. This recipe doesn't sound like anything we ate (except for the peas, rice , and tomatoes - oh, yes - lots of fresh thyme for sale at the produce market in Nassau!

This is not real Bahamian peas and rice. No real Bahamian puts cornbeef in their peas and rice. if they did the food wouldn't cook properly and the meal itself wouldn't taste good at all.

I'm sorry to report this was terrible. I thought I liked anything with rice in it but this was bland, flat-tasting, and heavy.

This isn't authentic. Though you can add the coconut milk (AKA: coconut water)or shredded, non sweet coconut, no Bahamian I know puts corned beef in their rice. Corned Beef is a separate dish. Good stuff too :-) Instead, crab (yes, shell and all), salt pork, or smoked bacon can be added to dress up the rice.

A great foil to spicy jerk-style chicken or pork. I omitted the corned beef (as I had none) and subbed black-eyed peas for the pigeon peas. The coconut milk is key!! Will make again... thanks!
