In the Creole cuisine of Trinidad it’s cooked with coconut milk and gungo peas - though kidney beans work just as well!

Cow peas in place of beans and served with Stewed Bodi, Acar Timun and Kosambari. Enough for a load of meals. The Cow peas took for ever to cook so the taste infused all through. Lovely.

Ooh nice! Looks great!

Seriously mind blowing. I also cooked it for women fellowship dinner at my church and it was very well received, everyone loved it.

Really pleased you enjoyed it!
