Easy Stewed Pigeon Peas with Smoked Turkey
A hearty side dish that can be paired with a meat or eaten as a vegetarian dish. I love stewed peas. Or "stew peas" as we call it. I don't know why pigeon peas (gungo peas) are such a sweet pea and therefore makes for a great dish. Stewed peas in general, is a popular Caribbean dish, but the peas used varies across the islands. It is is an integral part of Sunday lunch and is one of those dishes that you know is just going to be "sweet" and satisfying when you eat it. Stewed pigeon peas is a great side dish that can be eaten alone if you are vegetarian or is great paired with the main meat dish.
