Pepper Chicken is one of those recipes that delivers big flavor, serious heat, and plenty of texture in every bite. While Pepper Shrimp is one of the top recipes on my website, I am confident this Incredible Pepper Chicken will quickly become a favorite as well. Both are equally tantalizing, and after sharing a sneak…
With all the seasonal ingredients I have been using lately, you knew a Peach Iced Tea was about to be shared here sooner rather than later. As I mentioned when I shared my Peach Ice Cream recipe last week, I live within 20 minutes of Winona, arguably the fruit-growing capital of Canada. With peaches in…
Making the perfect Peach Ice Cream From Scratch is not as technical as it may seem. A few simple ingredients you’d expect to see in ice cream, a bit of patience and, of course, an ice cream maker are all you need. With peaches in abundance where I live, close to Winona, Ontario, the peach…
There are few drinks that say Caribbean quite like Mauby, and this Refreshing Caribbean Mauby Lemonade is one of my favourite ways to enjoy it on a hot day. While this isn’t your traditional Caribbean Mauby recipe, it beautifully combines the distinctive earthy, slightly bitter notes of Mauby with the bright, thirst-quenching flavour of freshly…
This Comforting Breadfruit Oil Down recipe shares a few similarities with a dish known as Run Down, enjoyed throughout parts of the Caribbean and along the Caribbean coast of Central America. However, it should never be confused with Grenadian Oil Down, the national dish of Grenada. Their version is traditionally thicker and drier, packed with…
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…
It’s been a summer of lemonades in my home, so this Strawberry Lemonade fits nicely with the heat-busting, refreshing drinks I’ve been making for Pali (Zyair) and his sisters. The Peach Mango Lemonade went somewhat viral, while the Sorrel Lemonade spoke to those of us more interested in Caribbean flavours. Then there was the Big…
Plantain Casserole is one of those comforting dishes I eagerly look forward to whenever I can find good, ripe plantains on sale at our local grocery stores. There was a time when the plantains would have come straight from the kitchen garden behind our home in rural Trinidad, in the small village of Guaracara, where…
Nothing beats a cold glass of Caribbean Banana Punch when the weather is blazing hot. Known by different names throughout the Caribbean, and with each island putting its own spin on the ingredients, this creamy, satisfying drink has remained a favorite for generations. This is the Banana Punch recipe my mom made for us growing…
Whenever I think about watermelon, my mind goes straight to Trinidad. While nothing beats the freshly harvested watermelons sold along the Blanchisseuse Road on Trinidad’s east coast, where many of the vendors are also the farmers who grew them, I’ve found my own way of keeping that tradition close. Although I didn’t grow up making…
If you've been around caribbeanpot.com/ for a while, you'll know we've done Shrimp Fried Rice before, but that version was cooked indoors in a wok. This time, we’re taking things outside and firing up the Traeger Flatrock griddle to make this incredible Jerk Shrimp Fried Rice. The intense heat from the hot griddle gives everything…
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”…
