I buy individual seasonings and make my own blend. Garlic powder, coriander powder, celery salt etc

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

any of ya'll mess with cast iron skillets? i got this set a few years ago and i love it. i got the whole set for 65 but now its 115 on amazon.

i use these things for pretty much everything. buttermilk pancakes from scratch on the flat skillet. cornbread from scratch in the deep skillet. I've made lasagna in it, roasted/fried chicken,rib eye, fish. pretty much everything. it distributes the heat evenly so everything cooks well. only thing i dont use them for are boiling or sauces.

I hope you seasoned your skillets first.
Lotta us just buy a skillet and use it

Fry chicken, red beans and rice with sweetcorn

recipe for red beans?

 

[Caca-faat]

recipe for red beans?

Ingredients:

1 can Kidney Beans
1 can Coconut Milk
Garlic Powder
Onion powder
1 tbsp Liquid smoke or a peice of smokey bacon
1 tsp of sugar (dependent on quantity)
All spice/pimento
1 whole scotch bonnet or habenero (Do not chop)
Half an onion diced finely
2 cloves garlic
*Use tinned Kidney beans as way more time saving. ** Using dried Kidney beans will add about 2 hours to your cooking time but is always way better.

Add all ingredients to sauce pan and let boil on medium (rolling boil) for about 20 minutes or so stirring occassionally. Season to taste with salt as necessary.

This is the same method to make Jamaican Rice and peas just do the above method first then add washed rice and cover with foil and stick in the oven for about 20 mins on the top shelf. (Yes I said oven. Fight me!)

I never had Jamaican rice.

I did go to a Jamaican restaurant and had rice and peas but i doubt it was authentic. Rice was super bland and i had to add habanero sauce to try to give it flavor

You meant Canned beans right?

Also, I been wondering what was the difference between Red Beans & Rice and Jamaican Peas & Rice.

This. I recently ordered food from a local Jamaican restaurant. The Rice & Peas were just bland AF to me. I would've just been way better off making some Zatarain's Red Beans & Rice instead.
