Very good, nice change of pace. Couldn't find pidgeon peas so I used can of good quality black beans. Also a less hot pepper than a scotch bonnet. I was a little surprised the coconut flavor was very subdued but good. Great side dish to Ellie Krueger's chicken with tomatillo sauce.

I also have substituted small red beans for peas. My Belizean Family loves it.
