To clear the air and hopefully avoid the waste-man comments, traditional shepherd’s Pie is made with GROUND LAMB and when you employ the use of GROUND BEEF it’s known as Cottage Pie! That said, should you refer to the video below, you’ll see me clearly say that this recipe is not traditional in any form,…
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…
I know there will be a few who will want to take me apart for using somewhat unconventional ingredients (keep in mind I’m based outside the Caribbean) and the fact they didn’t see any crab or salted meats used in the making of the Callaloo. With that last part in mind, here’s proof you’re not…
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…
Stewed Pumpkin or Pumpkin Talkari (takari) is definitely one of the easiest vegan dishes you’ll ever bless your tastebuds with. I have shared the Stewed Pumpkin With Salted Cod, Curry Pumpkin With Shrimp and back in 2012 we did the Stewed Pumpkin With Shrimp, this vegetarian version is still ranks as my fave. You’ll Need……
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…
Back in 2010 I shared my version of the classic Caribbean Stewed Lentils, then we had the wicked Hearty Lentil Soup we did, followed by the Quick And Tasty Lentils we did using canned lentils and the Slower Cooker Stewed Lentils, but today it’s all about tradition. This is the lentils from my childhood, a…
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 is arguably not a “Caribbean” recipe, however I must mention that mommy would do French Fries (say chips) for us in a similar way when we were children, as mentioned in the video below. She would season the cut potatoes with Caribbean Green Seasoning and then fry them as you would normally with fries….
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…
