Sizzling Jamaican Jerk Marinade
The original Jamaican Jerk Marinade was shared in 2011. After many requests, I then shared the Mild version for those of you who love the flavors of Jamaican Jerk without the heat. This is a more updated and refined version (arguably, there’s no need for it) of that original recipe I shared when I did the Smoked Jerk Turkey a few years back.

Stewed Honey Nut Squash with Saltfish
A quick mash using honey nut squash. Basically pumpkin or just about any squash will work for making this tasty side dish, which also happens to be gluten-free, too! The cod can be omitted, but it really gives the dish a special, Caribbean flavor.

Spicy Caribbean Pickled Peppers (“Mother-in-Law” Style)
This spicy condiment is often used on the side of many curry dishes in Trinidad and Tobago. The name may come from the ‘spicy’ nature of one’s mother in law, mixed with different textures and flavors (complexity). Do keep in mind that you can control the amount of heat of this condiment by the number and type of hot peppers you use.

Simple Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
Simple and tasty. The fact that you’re not stuck with a ton of turkey (as you would be with an entire bird), this is definitely a recommended recipe. The leftovers are great on sandwiches and salads, too! Needs to brine overnight before roasting.

Trinidad Curry Fish with Green Mango
This dish hits the spot when looking for something warm and comforting. This combination of mango and fish came about as a means of stretching the dish when one didn’t have a lot of fish and a few people to feed. Plus, the tartness of the green mango works well with the curry base.
