Tilda Microwave Caribbean Rice & Peas Basmati, 250g

This jamaican approves! I take this to work for my lunch break it's lovely and it's a good attempt from tilda at rice and peas

Wasn’t expecting the kidney beans - I love them so was pleased but doesn’t say on description

I find when cooking a quick meal or food for one that rice and peas can be a bit of a faff. The peas and coconut milk just don't justify themselves in a rush or for a small portion and end up waiting around in the fridge after. So these packets are great, quick and easy. A piece of fried chicken, a salad and one of these with a generous splash of Encona sauce. Love it.

Love this out of all rice pouches this is my favourite

First time I bought this flavour which combined with beans makes your dish even more tasty

It's ok, nothing to shout about. My preference is Pigeon peas, which has a lovely slightly nutty taste.(Gungo peas) instead of using red kidney beans. These packets are ideal if you're busy and in a rush. Right here on Amazon they sell dried Pigeon peas in a bag for less than a fiver. Use this to make your own rice & peas, it works out cheaper. Once you've made your rice & peas you can freeze some in your freezer. All you need to do is soak some of the dried Pigeon peas overnight, the next day cook gently in salted water for about 45-60 minutes, until soft (drain out water). Get another pot on the cooker with some easy cook (Don't use basmati rice, it's too delicate for R&P) white rice, (observe cooking time of rice) add water to cover rice, add salt, 3x sprigs of fresh tyme, 1x UN-CHOPPED!! Scotch Bonnet pepper (small) 1/2 piece of a Cream of Coconut block (where to find cream of coconut? Amazon, sainsburys, tesco's, Asda, Asian supermarket etc..) add also the cooked Pigeon peas, stir every thing together, gently. Make sure the 1/2 piece of cream of coconut has all desolved. Cover pot with a lid, test the rice occasionally, if needed add a little amount of water, when you're happy the rice is cooked you may have some water left in the pot, drain it off, turn the heat off and put the lid back on, let it sit for 10 minutes or so. Serve with savory chicken, or curry vegetables or Mutton. Note: at the very end, carefully remove scotch bonnet pepper and discard.🇧🇧🇹🇹🇯🇲🇬🇧

When I first bought this product a few years ago, I did so mockingly; expecting to get a good laugh and have something to criticise.Well, I was pleasantly surprised at how yummie it is and am now a fan hence my five stars review.

Definitely my favourite microwave rice out if all supermarket options. Love it.
