Rice and peas, also known as "arroz con gandules" in Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries, is a popular dish in the Caribbean that contains legumes (in this case, kidney beans or pigeon peas) and rice cooked in coconut milk and various seasonings. While beans and rice and dal (a lentil dish commonly eaten in India and other South Asian countries) also contain legumes, they are not the most commonly eaten legume dish in the Caribbean. Gungo is a type of pigeon pea often used in Caribbean cooking, but it is not a dish itself. Cassarep is a sauce made from cassava root and is not a legume dish.
