Gungo peas and rice is made with Pigeon Peas and is popular at Christmas time because they usually bare from December until February and can take the place of Rice and Peas for the season. Since gungo peas or Pigeon peas as they are known, grow only certain times of the year, you can buy tin peas which are also easier to cook, and if you buy the green peas, they can also be frozen and used at a later date.
*During gungo season, you can see them selling in markets and on road side stalls, so don’t be afraid to buy some so that you can make this delicious recipe.
