This version of Pepper Choka is less intense than the Ultimate Pepper Choka I shared a few years back, where I used a combination of some of the hottest peppers available to create an extremely spicy condiment. While this version backs off the heat just a little, don’t let that fool you. It’s still packed…
There’s no denying that Cilantro Chimichurri is most closely associated with Argentina and Uruguay, where it’s traditionally served as both a sauce and marinade for grilled meats, especially asado. With a fresh crop of cilantro (coriander) in my garden needing a good pruning, this cilantro chimichurri recipe not only falls perfectly into my “In Season”…
Living in Canada for the past 30 + years means that I’ve come to enjoy and embrace the seasons. So when I came across some delicious dried cranberries at the St Jacob’s Farmers’ Market this fall, I had to grab some to experiment with in the kitchen. It just so happens that it’s also fresh…
Here’s yet another spicy pickle to serve as a side to your fav curry dishes or as in my case, with Chicken Pelau. Using freshly harvested hot peppers from my garden as the growing season comes to an end, it was an excellent use of the final produce for 2024. While these pickled peppers can…
Definitely not something I grew up eating and to be honest, not until I started making this a couple years back (in Canada) when I had a bountiful crop of tomatoes and hot peppers in my little kitchen garden. Yet since then, it’s an annual tradition in our home. You’ll Need… 4 lb ripe tomatoes4-6…
It seems like its a tradition during the warm months of Summer, that I share a peppersauce (hot sauce) recipe with you all. And while I have several others on the ‘to-do’ list, I figured I’d share something a little different today. Hot Honey! That wicked drizzle you’ll put on your pizza, fried chicken, chicken…
Spicy! Yea, it’s without any doubt that I enjoy spicy condiments. Back in 2020 I shared Granny’s Insane Pepper Oil and not to be outdone, I followed up with my take on The Ultimate Caribbean Pepper Oil. Today’s version is a bit more tame, with a wonderful balance of flavors for your Dim Sum, steamed…
Not a recipe you’d associate with the Caribbean, as grapes are not native to the islands. However as a Trinbagonian who call Canada home and with an abundance of Concord grapes this time of the year (we live close to the grape growing region of Ontario – Niagara), you knew I’d put them to use….
With some of the BEST peaches in the world (say hi Georgia) grown in the orchards about a 30 minute drive away from me, from time time I do put them to use use in my kitchen. Admittedly I’m not a fan of Peach (pie, drink, ice cream, cobbler etc), however, with the addition of…
Over the years I’ve shared countless Peppersauce Recipes with you, and while this pickled bird pepper is not technically a sauce, in the Caribbean it would fall into that category. Yea, I grew up knowing these peppers (while a bit smaller in size) Bird Pepper (since birds would feed on them in your garden and…
Here’s another recipe I resurrected after calls for it on Instagram. I originally shared a version of this Steak Marinade And Dressing about 10 years ago on the website, and while it’s a hit every summer with fans, many people are having a difficult time finding it. Here’s an updated version of my take on…
Yes, I’ve shared a few Caribbean Green Seasoning videos on YouTube and Facebook, and while I have shared a version here on the website, that recipe dates back to 2009 and since then over 700 recipes have since buried it. Basically people are having a difficult time finding it. If you’re not familiar with Caribbean…
