While I make excellent Chinese Crispy Skin BBQ Pork Belly, I started doing this stir fry recipe after having leftover BBQ Pork from Chinese BBQ joints I usually visit. I purposely purchase a bit extra, knowing that I’d either make a stir fry or a BBQ Pork Fried Recipe with leftovers. You’ll Need… 1 1/2…
Traditional Caribbean Dhal is something that’s close and dear to me, a dish which takes me back to being a lil fella on the islands. While mommy didn’t cook curry very often, the days after school when we’d come home to Rice, Dhal and Curry (you may say curried) Chicken, was something we (brother and…
While I’ve shared various Jamaican Jerk Recipes, including Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Jerk Salmon and even a killer Jerk Shrimp recipe, I’ve somehow avoided making one of the most requested recipes. A sauce or gravy to pour over whatever you’ve ‘jerked’ on the smoker or grill. A jerk sauce, not a jerk marinade nor BBQ…
To clear the air and hopefully avoid the waste-man comments, traditional shepherd’s Pie is made with GROUND LAMB and when you employ the use of GROUND BEEF it’s known as Cottage Pie! That said, should you refer to the video below, you’ll see me clearly say that this recipe is not traditional in any form,…
As a lil fella growing up on the islands, Curry Duck was never my thing. It’s funny how in my adult years, every couple months I get a serious craving for it. There’s something so comforting about a plate of rice, dhal and spicy curry duck, with a side of mango kuchela or pepper choka….
The traditional way this dish is made is with Dasheen Bush Bhagi (tender leaves of the Taro plant), however being in Canada means that securing decent Taro leaves is very challenging. Yes, I could drive to Toronto to the many West Indian grocers, but from experience I know that it’s insanely expensive and the quality…
There’s something deeply comforting about a pot of easy curry chicken simmering on the stove, filling the kitchen with warm, aromatic spices and rich Caribbean flavor. This Simply Delicious 20 Minute Curry Chicken is my refreshed take on a recipe I first shared years ago, and it remains one of the most satisfying ways to…
I’m a huge fan of Guyanese Style Chow Mein and while this is not such a recipe, you will see some similarities in this version. If you grew up in Jamaica, Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago (where Chinese Indentured Labourers “settled”) you grew up being exposed to excellent Chinese food, so it’s common for us…
As a lil fella on the islands, I had a love hate relationship with pigeon peas. Allow me to explain, nothing beats a Chicken Pelau made with fresh shelled pigeon peas, so too a delicious offering of curry peas with hot Sada Roti. Frozen (shelled) or the stuff in the tin (can) simply cannot compare….
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…
Here we have a quick dish fit for breakfast or brunch and should you want to be creative and add some cabbage or noodles, it can easily be a guest on your dinner table. Like the leftover ham I used, it’s also a great opportunity to clear your fridge of vegetables (mushroom, zucchini, bell peppers,…
Yea not so much quick, but hear me out. Cook a large batch and freeze (and thaw), for days you want a quick dinner with steamed rice or maybe you have time to make hot Sada Roti. This combination of tender beef and red kidney beans is a rich and delicious coconut gravy, with hints…
