If you’re a fan of salted pigtails to enhance your stews and soups as is common in the Caribbean, may I suggest you give smoked salted pigtails a chance. As I did in making the Breadfruit Simmered In Coconut Milk, having smoked pigtail pieces adds a unique dept of flavor. You’ll Need… 4 lbs salted…
This pickled peppers is similar in flavor to the Caribbean Lime Peppersauce Recipe I shared a while back, and the texture along with said flavor is also reminiscent of the Chunky Lemon Lime Peppersauce from 2021. You’ll Need… 2 cups wiri wiri peppers10 cloves garlic (whole / cut the large cloves in half)2 cups vinegar1…
Definitely not something I grew up eating and to be honest, not until I started making this a couple years back (in Canada) when I had a bountiful crop of tomatoes and hot peppers in my little kitchen garden. Yet since then, it’s an annual tradition in our home. You’ll Need… 4 lb ripe tomatoes4-6…
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……
In some parts of the Caribbean “Chow Heel” is also known as “Cow Foot”, and while those outside our culture may find it a bit offensive to eat such a part of the animal, it’s a comforting, tasty and nutritious dish. It’s deep rooted in our history from slavery to indentureship and beyond. 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…
It seems like its a tradition during the warm months of Summer, that I share a peppersauce (hot sauce) recipe with you all. And while I have several others on the ‘to-do’ list, I figured I’d share something a little different today. Hot Honey! That wicked drizzle you’ll put on your pizza, fried chicken, chicken…
Most recently I shared the Lychee Chow recipe, which became an instant hit with fans and those only now stumbling onto my little space on the internet. Like all of the other “Chow” recipes I’ve shared, they all have their own uniqueness based on the main ingredient used. However I came to realize over the…
As explained in the video below, I loosely called this an Anchar and not a Kuchela, while either name could work in describing this wonderful spicy pickle. Yes, Mango Anchar is as classic as it gets, this version is quite unique as the slight bitterness of the Carilie compliments the Anchar Masala and other flavors….
Did your mom fry the eggs after boiling them and before making the curry? While it seems that’s the traditional way of making this comforting dish, our mom would simply boil the eggs and add them (cut in 1/2) to the curry base. Additionally I don’t recall that she ever added potatoes or aloo to…
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…
Over the years we’ve done Chicken Liver, Chicken Hearts, Grilled Pork, Chicken and the classic Geera Pork. Recipes I’m all proud to have shared with you all. Today we’ll change up the technique a little (explained in the video below) and use pork riblets to make what I believe is better than the regular Geera…
