My goodness how did this recipe become Jamaican Rice & Peas? This variation may be very tasty, but I think you should change the title, and remove the word Jamaican. Jamaicans do vary the recipe for Rice and Peas, but never, ever have I seen any Jamaican chef or domestic cook prepare Rice & Peas with these ingredients. It's really misrepresenting the original dish.
