Chicken Foot (feet) Soup is made throughout the Caribbean as part of our “Soup Saturday” menu, so anyone’s claim to this soup is pure rubbish. That said, this recipe is loosely based on the Jamaican way of making this iconic comfort food. Get that big soup pot out! You’ll Need… 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil1…
If you’ve tried my Coconut Curry Lamb recipe, you can attest to the absolute delicious nature of a good Caribbean curry. With this version of Curry Lamb, we’ll give the overall dish more body and help to stretch it for more people. You’ll Need… 3 lbs lamb (I used shoulder w bones)lemon (juice)2-3 tablespoon olive…
Growing up on the islands meant that whenever we got a fever mom would make us fever-grass tea. Basically we grew up associating being sick with this bush. Fast-forward years later and being new to Canada, I was blown away by this very same fever-grass. My cousin invited me to meet her in Toronto for…
Perfecting fried chicken can be a trial and error process, but there are few key steps which would assist you in perfecting the process without much “error”. Make sure your oil/fat is at around 350 F when you fry, brine the chicken in a seasoned brine for flavor all the way to the bone and…
The only way mommy could get me/us to eat cabbage as kids growing up on the islands, was if she made or bought Chow Mein. Back then I don’t ever recall seeing bean sprouts in Chow Mein as I do in Canada as the norm. Maybe I’ll share that recipe soon! However as an adult,…
While mommy made amazing baked chicken (I don’t ever recall hearing the word ‘roast’ or ‘roasted’), especially around Christmas-time, when turkey wasn’t as popular as it is today in the Caribbean during the holidays. Typically it would be a large chicken cut into large pieces seasoned with Caribbean Green Seasoning and roasted until it was…
Throughout the Caribbean a version of Brown Stew or Stew(ed) Chicken will not only be found, but the technique or recipe for making said dish, will differ from island to island and home to home. As a Trinbagonian I never grew up seeing this dish made this way until I moved to Canada, at my…
Leftover Jerk Chicken! “can you explain this leftover Jerk Chicken ting Chris? I’ve never had such” One of the comments I received when I first shared this recipe on Instagram. The simple answer to this question is, no one in my home appreciates Jerk Chicken Breast. Usually when I make jerk chicken I use an…
Over the years I’ve shared many curry recipes, including ones where the main ingredient is poultry of some sort. However I’ve never addressed the mélange of struggles people tend to have in achieving a lovely thick sauce or gravy. This is NOT a Curry Chicken Recipe, but the focus is, getting you that ultimate curry…
Here’s yet another dish I’d never touch as a lil fella growing up on the islands, yet today it’s one of my favorite things to have with Dhal and Rice, with a side of Kuchela. We (my brother and 2 sisters) weren’t overly picky eaters as children, however we did make it a bit challenging…
Curry KFC! Yea, as a commentor on my Instagram Feed put it “Uncle Chris yuh running out of recipe ideas”. And while had he taken the time to watch the video, he’d never waste time with his comment. Yet for most I can understand the hesitation to take this recipe seriously. Well, until you gave…
I luv me some Jerk Chicken, and while Jerk Shrimp is underrated IMHO.. Jerk Pork is simply special (outstanding). Especially when it’s been marinated overnight in a wicked Jerk Marinade and grilled over charcoal or on my Traeger Smoker. You MUST allow things to happen low and slow though. With that said, I had some…
