----

===== Ingredients: =====

==== For the Red Peas: ====
  * 2 cups (14 oz.) dried red kidney beans
  * 10 cloves garlic
  * 1 13-oz. can heavy coconut milk
  * 1 onion
  * 1 cup (~8) scallions
  * 1 large carrot
  * ¼ cup fresh thyme (4 tsp = 1⅓ Tb dried)
  * ½ scotch bonnet pepper

==== For the Spinners: ====
  * ¾ cup flour
  * 1½ tsp salt
  * ⅓ cup water

==== For Finishing the Stew: ====
  * 2 Tb coconut oil
  * 1 Tb salt
  * 1 tsp pepper
  * 1 tsp allspice
  * ⅓ cup each red, yellow, and green bell peppers
  * cooked rice
  * (optional: ~1 lb. meat of your choice; pork works very well)

===== Directions: =====
  - Soak beans and 5 cloves of garlic in 6 cups of water overnight.
  - Add coconut milk and bring to a boil.  Simmer for 20 min.
  - Add the other 5 cloves of garlic, plus the onion, scallions, carrot, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper.  Simmer for 20-25 min., until beans are soft.
  - Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the spinners to make a dough just wet enough to not stick to your hands.  Knead for 2 min.
  - Cut dough into quarters.  Cut each quarter into thirds.  Roll each piece between the palms of your hands to make long, skinny dumplings 3-3½ in. long x ¼-½ in. thick.
  - Add ¼ cup water, coconut oil, and spinners.  Cook 15-20 min.  Add salt, pepper, allspice, and bell peppers, then serve.
