National Dish
Rice & with
Peas

Every Caribean island has its own national dish. Some require elaborate preparation while others
are very simple to make. Anguilla’s national dish of rice and peas is one of the easiest meals to
prepare. All the ingredients you need are rice, pigeon peas and your favourite seasonings. You
can use canned pigeon peas, but if you prefer to use dried peas, soak it overnight to soften. When
cooking, add a bit of lime juice and black pepper to your taste. Serve it with fish.
