Soups

Soups are a great addition to Jamaican beef patties. They add a bit of liquid to the dish and help to cool down the spice from the beef patties.

You can choose from a variety of soups. A few of my favorites are black bean soup, chicken soup, and lentil soup.

No matter the flavor of your soup, it will make a great pair with Jamaican beef patties.

Rice & peas

Rice and peas are a Jamaican classic. It’s a staple dish that is served with almost every meal.

The rice is usually white, but you can also use brown rice. The peas are usually red beans, but you can also use black-eyed peas or kidney beans.

To make rice and peas, you first need to cook the rice. Then, you add the beans and any seasonings you like. I usually add garlic, onion, thyme, and a bit of salt and pepper.

You can also make a version of this dish with coconut milk instead of water for added flavor.
