salt beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Lean beef reduces sodium and fat content.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Jalapeños offer heat with less intensity.

Boil salted beef in water for about 20 minutes and discard the water to reduce saltiness.

In a pot, sweat down diced onion and smashed garlic on low heat for about 5 minutes.

Add black pepper and fresh thyme to the pot.

Stir in yellow split peas and chopped scotch bonnet pepper.

Increase heat and add boiling water to the pot, bringing it to a boil for about 45 minutes until beef and peas are tender.

Add chopped carrots and ground provisions (taro, edos, small potatoes, sweet potatoes) to the pot, covering with more boiling water.

Bring back to a boil and skim off any frothy scum that forms on top.

Let everything boil for about 20-25 minutes until ground provisions are tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
