Curry goes so good with so many different foods. I happened on to this recipe a while back as a side dish for a Jamaican jerk dinner.

There is an assumption that jerk recipes are spicy. They may have some spice but the spice is flavor when done correctly. The curry acts as a compliment to the spice but stands on its own as it does here. I used 2 curry mixes in this recipe. I am trying to use up my store bought combined spices because they can be easily made from scratch.

The original recipe and other curries I love and have created curries from around the world including:

JERK CHICKEN & CARIBBEAN PIGEON PEA CURRY

CHICKEN KATSU CURRY

RED CURRY THAI SALMON

My Black Eyed Peas & Hominy Curry is tasty, healthy and vegan. This dish can be served as either a side dish or a main course. It is both hearty and light, not filling. I also really like that the dish is so colorful. You know they say we eat with our eyes, and this dish has such a unique color. For the record, I served my recipe with jerk chicken, so it was a side dish.
