Curry Beef with Pigeon Peas
When it comes to hearty Caribbean meals, few dishes rival a bold, flavorful curry, especially when it’s simmered slowly with tender beef and hearty legumes.

One-Pot Stewed Beef with Red Beans for a Quick, Easy Dinner

For most people outside the Caribbean, the texture and consistency (loaded with root vegetables) of this soup will be more comparable to a stew. However such is the case for most soups from the Caribbean. And yes, it’s one of those dishes you must reserve about four hours of your time to put together.
