== Procedures ==
=== Stew ===
# Wash and cut [[Beef]] into bite sized pieces then rub with the Bajan Seasoning and [[tomato]] [[ketchup]]. Heat the [[oil]] in a skillet and stir-fry the meat for 10 minutes. Pour in the gravy [[browning]] and cook for another 5 minutes.
# Add the [[water]], cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the [[carrot]] and [[potato]]es, adjust the seasonings with a little seasoned [[salt]], and cook for another 15 minutes. Add a little more [[water]] if necessary. The meat should be tender after 45 minutes of cooking but if not go a while longer.

=== Rice ===
# Place the [[pigeon pea|peas]], [[salt pork]] and the [[thyme]] in a pan with 4 cups [[water]] and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until [[Peas]] are tender.
# Wash and drain [[rice]] and add to the pan. Pour in enough [[water]] to just be level with the [[rice]] and [[Peas]] mixture. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to its lowest level, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until all the [[water]] has evaporated.
# [[Rice]] that has been soaked does not require a lot of liquid to cook and also the cooking time is reduced.
