Growing up on the islands this dish would never be a reality, since my brother had rabbits (among other animals and fish) as pets. However since moving to Canada and having access to rabbits at most grocery stores (without guilt of seeing them as pets), combined with my attraction to ‘game’, this dish is somewhat…
With BBQ/Grillign Season just around the corner, I thought I’d reflect back to last year’s Annual July Month Of Grilling and share the printable recipe for outstanding Smoked Jerk Chicken! While I wish I had access to Pimento Wood as used in Jamaica, we found that soaked Apple-Wood gave the jerk chicken a wonderful fruity…
While I’m no fan of geera (cumin), with a few adult beverages, crusty dinner rolls and good company, this dish hits the spot. Spicy, deep flavors of roasted cumin and tender morsels of meat, this is an excellent example of how we try to use the entire animal in the Caribbean. You’ll Need… 1 1/2…
While we don’t have a culture of making stock (specifically) in the Caribbean, you’ll easily notice that our soups and stews are indeed packed with stock-making ingredients. We basically create a stock in the process of cooking. So why am I sharing a homemade Chicken Stock to share with you? Demand! There’s been many requests…
In the Caribbean this would be called a pumpkin soup and it would be thicker and packed with ground provisions and flour dumplings. Outstanding, but we’re going lighter today as I’d like for the smoky flavors, along with the Butternut Squash itself, to shine through and captivate our taste buds. You’ll Need… 1 large butternut…
This Cherry Rum BBQ Sauce is a great fusion… Canada meets the Caribbean. Freshly picked cherries from Niagara On The Lake, combined with sugarcane juice and all of her byproducts – Molasses, Rum and Demerara Sugar. Read on.. you’ll love the supporting cast of ingredients which goes into making this insanely GREAT homemade BBQ sauce….
Fried rice and leftovers goes hand in hand. I can’t tell you the joy I feel in my soul when I see leftover rice in the fridge. This time around along with the rice, I remembered that there was ham in the freezer from last Thanksgiving. So I give you, my quick, easy and delicious…
Two clarifications to make before we get to the recipe. 1. There’s ABSOLUTELY nothing “Caribbean” about this recipe. However I was challenged to share this Chicken Tikka Masala reccipe via Instagram and I also believe it would be something which would fit naturally within our diverse culinary landscape. And 2. …don’t spend too much time…
Fried Chicken! There are as many ways to make this iconic dish as there are people who claim that their recipe is the greatest on the planet. While I won’t make such a bold statement, I will say this fried Chicken will rival and ‘better’ many of the recipes you’ve tried before. After-all my mommy…
This dish brings back a ton of memories every-time I make it. I first shared this recipe back in 2018 on the YouTube channel and to this day it’s still a hit. As a young fella on the islands, Saturdays were reserved for attending Kung Fu movies at the local cinemas in San Fernando with…
If you’re looking for a quick and delicious way to oven roast a chicken, I’v got such a recipe to share with you today. Mom would do something similar for us when we were kids on the islands, but heavier on the seasoning and she would cut the chicken into parts. Additionally, she never finished…
There’s a special place in my belly for jerk pork (no lie). While I much prefer it made over a coals fire so you get lovely smoked sort of finish, which really compliments the herbs and other ingredients in the classic Jamaican jerk marinade. The said… reality in Canada is it can get VERY cold during the winter months, so realistically I had to come up with a recipe with will duplicate those same flavors, but in an everyday kitchen oven. Here is such a recipe.
