Grenadian pelau

Grenadian pelau is a one-pot rice dish with browned chicken, peas or beans, vegetables and coconut milk. Simple Grenadian Cooking’s family recipe seasons chicken with a chopped mixture of garlic, spring onion, thyme, onion and pimento pepper. Brown sugar is melted in oil until dark, then the marinated chicken is added and coated in the browning mixture.^[1]

Rice, cooked beans or pigeon peas, sweet pepper, carrot, celery and more green seasoning follow. Coconut milk and water, pepper, thyme, ketchup and a stock cube form the cooking liquid. The covered pot simmers until the rice is cooked and the liquid absorbed. Coleslaw, salad or avocado can accompany it.^[1]
