I'm going to try this recipe, but I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I'm going to reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.

I had some trouble finding pigeon peas, so I used black-eyed peas instead. The dish still turned out great.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less cayenne pepper.
