My son and his dad love when I make this dish. I had some left over and my Mom took it home with her. She called me and said it was delicious. You need no side dishes with this. You have your meat, your rice and your vegetables.

Flavorful and filling but all in all just average. I had a hard time playing find the bay leaves at the end, a food game I hate with a passion. though I might make this one again, it certainly isn't going into full rotation.

I love this dish. It reminds me of a dish called Swamp Thing that I had a B Smith's restaurant. I substituted canned collards (Bush's for fresh collards and it was just fine. I added chicken broth as needed to ensure that the rice cooked properly. Great recipe!

the dish was great! my only critique is that it's a bit dry. i might add some more water and oil to it to moisten it up a bit.

Well, although I had to start it well ahead of when I wanted to eat it, there was very little actual work involved in this one!

Overall, it was pretty good, but nothing stellar or amazing. I've made it twice, and what's nice about it is that it's an entire meal right there in one pot! Will probably make again.

I did have a bit of an issue with the rice not absorbing all the liquid in the time specified, but a little extra time and it came out just great. And, the leftovers were even better the next day.

I love the flavor of this, but I did a couple of things to make it even easier to make.

I always use canned black eyed peas, no need to use frozen! BIG TIP: I too had issues with the brown rice staying too hard so I started using basmati rice instead....which cuts down the cook time from 50 minutes to 15-25! And the rice is always the right texture.

Also used the chicken broth instead of water, definitely makes a difference.

Definitely a recipe that will be a "regular".

I agree that the long grain rice is a little harder than I normally like, but still tasted wonderful just the same. I used a sweet Italian sausage with basil, and it turned out amazing. In keeping with the Carribean flavor, I topped with a few pineapple chunks, and it added just that right amount of sweetness!!!!!

Loved this. Super flavorful. Good call on subbing chicken broth for water as others suggested. I actually used chorizo instead of turkey and liked it a lot. Added a bit of small diced squash since I had it on hand. Meshed well with spice and allspice flavors. Might benefit from a bit of sherry or cider vinegar to brighten flavor at the end, but delish as is.
