Stewed Pigeon Peas
As a Bahamian I grew up on pigeon peas in Bahamian Peas Soup and Dumplings, BAHAMIAN PEAS & GRITS, and Bahamian Peas and Rice. My dad being the master chef that he was would stay in the kitchen cooking large pots full of Bahamian food for family and friends that visited.
Having been given the challenge to create other pigeon peas recipes I thought to try something different each week.

How are pigeon peas different from regular peas
Pigeon Peas can be used like any other pea and added to stir fry vegetables also. They do require a longer cooking time than other legumes, so you can use an instant pot or a crock pot. It is lower in sugar, but high in fiber and protein. It has a higher starch content.
