Growing up in the Caribbean, what we called Shepherd’s Pie was always made with ground beef, never lamb. I’d follow Mommy to the shops and market and never once saw ground lamb for sale. So yes, technically this version is a Cottage Pie since it uses beef, but in Caribbean homes, the name Shepherd’s Pie…
This Bok Choy with Corned Beef recipe is loosely based on the way mom would make her Fry Pak Choi With Saltfish and her classic Fry Pak Choi with Stewed Pork, two dishes we often enjoyed with sada roti growing up. In this version, we’re simply using leftover corned beef (bully beef). It’s a quick,…
Two years back we kicked off the New Year with my incredibly tasty Cook Up Rice, loaded with chicken, salted pigtail pieces and black eyed peas for the good luck associated with using it at the start of a new year. While you’ll see similarities with that recipe and the beef version we’re about to make,…
In some parts of the Caribbean “Chow Heel” is also known as “Cow Foot”, and while those outside our culture may find it a bit offensive to eat such a part of the animal, it’s a comforting, tasty and nutritious dish. It’s deep rooted in our history from slavery to indentureship and beyond.
As we dig deeper into #SoupSeason it occurred to me that I’ve never shared this version of Oxtail Soup with you. For most people outside the Caribbean, the texture and consistency (loaded with root vegetables) of this soup will be more comparable to a stew. However such is the case for most soups from the Caribbean. And yes, it’s one of those dishes you must reserve about four hours of your time to put together.
The original Jamaican Jerk Marinade was shared in 2011. After many requests, I then shared the Mild version for those of you who love the flavors of Jamaican Jerk with the heat. This is a more updated and refined version (arguably, there’s no need for it) of that original recipe I shared when I did the…
I cannot believe it’s taken me this long to make a Small Batch Caribbean Green Seasoning recipe for you all. Yes, we’ve done the classic Caribbean Green Seasoning a few times, with the intended purpose for people who cook Caribbean food regularly. However, I never considered that there may be those of us who sporadically cook Caribbean…
Garlic Sauce! Yea, that rich and creamy sauce we so adore in the Caribbean. Drizzled on our chips (fries), to BBQed meats, on fried chicken, to Bake and Shark… shims some may say we can even drink it like a beverage. A while back I shared one of my many versions for Garlic Sauce as…
Mango Anchar (or you may say Mango Achar), is one of those spicy condiments enjoyed with curry dishes (or on it’s own as a snack), typically made when mango are in season in the Caribbean. Green (not fully matured) mangoes are cut into slices and dried in the tropical sun, before being flavored with with…
Growing up Caribbean, meant attending birthday parties for a friends and encountering this sandwich… guaranteed! Or maybe it’s just mommy packing your school lunch, visiting grandma and having these sandwiches while the “big Meal” simmered on the stove.. or maybe it was a church trip and yea, this was the snack of choice. As I…
After sharing my way of dehydrating Scotch Bonnet Peppers in a Food Dehydrator and then making Scotch Bonnet Pepper Flakes, there were a lot of messages asking if you could dehydrate peppers in an everyday oven. This brings us to this recipe/technique using freshly harvested Carolina Reapers from my garden (last summer). Wash and airdry…
