Common mistakes
What to avoid
- 1Skipping the sear. Caramelized surface = layered flavor under the simmer.
- 2Too much liquid. Stew should reduce, not swim. Adjust during cook.
- 3Single-salting. Cuts of meat take salt differently before vs after braising. Layer it.

Carribean Rice And Peas
33 Rice and peas is a Jamaican side dish made of red beans and coconut rice that has been spiced and given a hint of heat with fresh chili.
