💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken offers a leaner option, while pork is often more affordable.

Start by marinating lamb shoulder overnight.

Heat a couple tablespoons of coconut oil in a pressure pot.

Fry the lamb until all the water evaporates, about 10 minutes.

In a separate pot, sauté garlic and black-eyed peas.

Add just enough water to the black-eyed peas to cover them and boil halfway.

Once the lamb is cooked, release the steam from the pressure pot before opening it.

Check the texture of the lamb by squeezing it with your finger; it should break apart easily.

Pour the cooked lamb and its broth into the pot with the black-eyed peas.

Add pre-washed basmati rice to the pot.

Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Add freshly chopped vegetables (carrots, bok choy) to the pot after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking them.

Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

For added spice, add a whole habanero pepper to the pot if desired.

Plate the dish with thinly sliced tomato, cucumber, and cilantro for garnish.
