Outstanding Kale Salad.

Gluten Free

Lately I’ve been doing a series on YouTube called #MeatFreeMondays and it’s been an overwhelming success with fans, though some of the recipes are not necessarily “Caribbean”. The following Kale Salad is one of those demos I shared a while back… which in my humble opinion is one of the best ways to put Kale to use. Kale can be somewhat tough, so by bruising the leaves it breaks down some of the fiber and makes it much more delicious. Especially with the quick vinaigrette we’ll dress it with.

Curry Chicken With Bodi (aka Yard Bean or Bora).

Chicken

Here’s a dish I grew up enjoying, but rather than starting with the chicken as I’m about to show you, mom would typically use curry or stewed chicken she made the day before. After sharing similar recipes using both French and String Beans, I was asked to do this version.. with Bodi (aka Bora or Yard Beans). The only real difference in using Bodi is that it can be a bit tougher and needs a few extra minutes to go fully tender.

Jerk Ham With a Mango Orange Pineapple Rum Glaze.

Gluten Free

With the holiday season around the corner I thought I’d finally put up the Jerk Ham recipe we did last Christmas on YouTube, as I’m sure you’re looking to add some Caribbean vibe to your dinner table. We’ll start off with a classic Jamaican jerk marinade, then finish off with a rum infused mango orange pineapple glaze to help balance off the spicy undertones of the jerk spices. This jerk ham is guaranteed to make an impression on your family and friends this.. so be prepared to have the request it again very soon.

Tasty Mushroom Olive Stewed Chicken.

Chicken

Absolutely nothing beats classic Caribbean stewed chicken in my humble opinion. And with that in mind (not trying to deal with people saying I ruined a classic recipe), let me show you how to change things up a bit by adding mushrooms and olives to already classic way to enjoy island-style chicken. A little experimenting with other ingredients I enjoy and thus this recipe was born. Coincidentally my girls will not touch olives, so the entire pot is usually mine!
