Two of my favorite dishes combined! Stewed chicken with Spinach, a dish I make with dasheen bush (taro leaves) when I can source it, or more regularly with baby spinach which is readily available at grocery stores here in Ontario, Canada. Basically any of your fav ‘greens’ will work with this dish and if you’re…
Here’s another classic dish we make with Pigeon Peas, especially when they’re in full production from early January in the Caribbean (harvest/production last for about 3 months if memory serves me right). In my case I’m based in Canada where the growing season is not long enough for us to have it in our garden….
Jamaican Callaloo (aka spinach, Chorai Bhagi) is a regular in my garden every year, so it’s only normal to see many recipes featuring this ‘greens’ we adore in the Caribbean. In this version we’ll put another loved Caribbean ingredient to use to add additional flavor and give the dish a true comforting appeal. Salted Pigtails!…
While it does get insanely COLD in Canada during the winter months, this is not a hindrance for me when it comes to being outside on the grill. Such is my love for fire kissed meats (especially), vegetables and fish. Here’s a simple technique to get juicy and flavorful pork chops on the grill every…
While I’ve been pro #TeamDryPelau most of my known life, the past few years I’ve slowly migrated over to #TeamWetPelau. The wet and dry referring the finished texture of this iconic Caribbean one-pot dish. There is no other dish I enjoy more that Pelau as it’s a meal which brings IMMEDIATE comfort to me. When…
If you’re looking for the ULTIMATE Curry Chicken dish cooked in under 30 minutes, you’re in the right place. This classic masala chicken is not only packed with a definitive punch of flavor, it’s super easy and quick to put together. Using skinless, boneless chicken thighs is the key for maximum flavor and speed of…
There’s nothing “Caribbean” about this dish, but I felt I had to share the recipe here, as it’s one of my go-to recipes on those cold Canadian winter evenings. Toss everything with a quick marinade/dressing, onto a sheet pan and the into a vibrant oven. Sit back and relax and in 45 minutes, you’ll have…
If you’re always looking for ways to make use of leftover turkey, you’ll want to peep this recipe. This Turkey Fried Rice is now a tradition (along with Turkey Soup) in my home and to be honest with you, I don’t mind. It’s quick, easy to prepare, packed with flavor and very comforting overall. You’ll…
A classic dish during pigeon peas season (usually from late December to early April) in the Caribbean. Freshly shelled pigeon peas are pre cooked, then added to traditional stewed chicken for an iconic dish to enjoy with rice, dumplings, roti or a side to ground provisions. Almost the same dish is made with a curry…
There’s something so comforting about oven roasted (or bake chicken as my mom say) chicken. From the wonderful scent of it in the oven, to the rich notes of herbs on the crispy skin and that warm juicy interior. Herb Roasted Chicken does not have to be complicated.. allow me to prove that to you…
This recipe is loosely based on a dish my great-grandmother would make for my dad. While I never had the chance to meet her, nor ‘taste her hand”, I feel I know her just from the stories my dad would tell us. From a baby to his teen years dad lived with my great grandparents…
YES! I’ll admit, there’s NOTHING better than a classic callaloo made with fresh ocean crabs (as mom makes). In some instances I even drool for Callaloo made with salted pigtails. However, when you’re based in Canada (away from the tropics) Smoked Turkey is a just-as-good replacement and dare I say, just as tasty? Here’s my…
