As the days are getting shorter and nights cooler, it’s a gentle reminder that winter is just around the corner. A time which this son of the Caribbean dreads! With this dish it’s my way of extending the summer by using the outdoor grill and eating alfresco before that’s no longer an option. You’ll Need……
This is yet another leftover special I rock from time to time at lunch. With boiled yam (cooked in salted water) and Smoked Herring Choka (some say stewed smoked herrings) on hand, basically all I did was add cabbage and warmed everything together. You’re free to add more tomato, bell pepper and anything else you…
While the base of this dish is reminiscent of Shrimp Scampi, and though I didn’t employ the use of any white wine (great addition btw), I’ll be adding rice (you may see others add pasta) to make it a tasty one pot dish. You’ll Need… 3 tablespoon butter8 cloves garlic (crushed or fine diced)1/2 teaspoon…
Callaloo is yet another classic Caribbean recipe with different meanings across the region. In this case the ingredient (Green Amaranth) is the star and what gives the dish its name in Jamaica. While in other parts of the Caribbean that same ingredient is known simply as ‘spinach’ or ‘Chorai Bhagi’. And ‘Callaloo’ is more of…
I’m sure we can all agree that Curry Chickpeas (channa) with Potato (aloo) is insanely tasty and comforting, especially when you have freshly made Paratha Roti on the side. With that in mind, allow me to share yet another way to further enhance this wonderful curry dish. If you head over to the Recipe Index,…
While the classic way of making this dish is to use the tender leaves of the Dasheen (taro) plant, the end result of using baby spinach as I’m about to share, is just as tasty. Whether it’s served with Dhal and Rice or alongside hot Sada Roti, bhagi remains one of my favorite vegetarian dishes….
I was only exposed to this dish after moving to Canada, however in speaking with my mom recently she mentioned that she did use canned (tin) sardines in tomato sauce. Apparently we hated the tomato sauce, so she never included it in the meals she would make for my siblings and I. She also spoke…
Over the years I’ve shared a number of Curry Shrimp recipes with you and while the Masala Shrimp seems to be on everyone’s list of fav recipes, I get just as many emails about the Curry Crab with Lobster I most recently published. As mentioned in the video of this recipe, we are changing things…
A few years back I shared the recipe for making Stewed Red Herrings (as it’s known in Barbados) and even further back we did Cabbage With Smoked Herrings and in 2010 we did this very same way of preparing Smoked Herrings, however you will see slight differences with this updated version. Should you visit Barbados,…
About 12 years ago I shared my original take on Okra With Shrimp, and while that recipe is still very popular, I thought I’d share another version with slight differences with you. One of the most common questions I received after sharing a quick Reel on Instagram was, “can I use pre-cooked shrimp?“. The short…
Over the years I’ve noticed that fish and seafood recipes do really well on the website, maybe it’s due to the shift from more traditional pork, beef and chicken recipes and more exploration of pescatarian type dishes. While you may notice similarities with this recipe and the Coconut Stewed Fish I did back in 2009,…
This recipe is loosely based on a ‘newer’ method my mom has used for making Stewed Salmon the past 12 years or so. It’s definitely not your typical “Caribbean” stewed fish, however it ranks right up there with the flavors we have across the region. You’ll Need… 1 lb salmon fillet1 lime (juice)1/2 teaspoon salt5…
