Air Fryer Curried Chickpeas

Here’s one of those popular spicy snacks we enjoy in the Caribbean, especially with adult beverages. Channa, or chickpeas as most people know it, is fried until crisp, then seasoned while hot so it takes on a lovely overall flavor. If you don’t have an air fryer, you may use the version where I showed you how to make Oven Fried Channa. I also shared a Cheesy Fried Channa version a few years back.

Curry Cassava

About two years ago, I had someone of Guyanese heritage reach out to me to ask if I had a curry Cassava recipe. A dish her grandmother would make for her and her siblings while they were growing up in rural Guyana. I was stumped, as I had never heard of the dish. Through some research, I found that the same dish, possibly prepared differently, was also typical in Trinidad. However, it too was lost to time.

Pommecythere Chow (Golden Apple Pickle)

Chow is a vibrant, quick-pickle snack rooted in Trinidadian street food culture, and this version uses pommecythere, also known as golden apple or ambarella. I remember it from childhood, that punch of citrus, heat, and fresh herbs in every bite. In this updated version of the 2014 recipe, I’ve included salted prunes for added depth,…

This is a refresher on the Caribbean Peas Soup I shared in 2016. And we need to acknowledge that while I’m saying this is a Jamaican recipe (in the title), it’s made throughout the Caribbean, in variations.
