Anyone got a brilliant tried and tested recipe for this please?

As in the Jamaican side?

Not used many but Ainsley's turns out ok for us https://www.ainsley-harriott.com/recipe/peppys-brown-stew-chicken-with-rice-n-peas/ but normally use dried pulses we've cooked the day before rather than tinned

Do you have a pressure cooker?

No unfortunately not.

We go with a basic version

1 cup rice

2 cups water

2 heaped spoons of coconut milk powder

Add tin of kidney beans (liquid and all)
Dash of chilli to taste

Then we give it 11 minutes in the sistema microwave rice cooker. 

For a slightly more authentic hob version there's chopped garlic and floating a whole (don't chop!!!) Scotch bonnet chilli in while it cooks.

I prefer this vegan version to Ainsley's chicken-y recipe.

Hu? There is no chicken in the rice and peas... you can follow just the rice and peas part of the recipe and ignore the stew that he suggests to do with it

I didn't click on the link - just assumed the recipe would contain chicken stock.

No, it is veggie rather than vegan as it uses butter but doesn't use any stock at all.  Naturally you could sub in a different fat, maybe coconut oil or more sunflower oil, and therefore make it vegan if that's your thing.

PS. I know some fruits etc aren't vegan because of the forced labour of bees on the back of trucks etc so haven't included that in my definition of vegan

I use this recipe from the grocery challenge archives.
