Jamaican Stew Peas | What I Ate Day 3 Daniel Fast

pork

🥗Healthier: chicken

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than pork.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk reduces calories while evaporated milk is more budget-friendly.

red kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Black beans are nutritious and canned options save time.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Jalapeños offer heat with less intensity, while bell peppers are milder.

Cook the kidney beans until tender if not already cooked.

In a pot, combine the cooked kidney beans, coconut milk, chopped onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer until heated through and flavors meld.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, sweetener, and enough water to form a thick paste for dumplings.

Shape the dumpling mixture into small balls or discs and add them to the pot with the stew, cooking until they are firm and cooked through.
