Without ANY DOUBT.. this is one of my favorite Caribbean desserts! If you recall back in 2013 I shared an (if not the first) online version of this Currants Roll Recipe. However this time I’ll show you an even easier method of making it. Without sacrificing taste, texture and overall flavor. You’ll Need… 1 puff…
While you will see similarities with this Onion Choka and Classic Pepper Choka (basically roasted hot peppers made into a SPICY condiment), with the simplicity (and the perfect blend of flavor and texture) of this version, it could easily be your new favorite side to curry dishes. TIP! Use as much thinly sliced onion as…
No you’re not seeing double! If you’ve been following my culinary exploits here from day one, you would have seen me share a similar Curry Chicken With Potato (aloo) recipe about 8 years ago. And while that recipe is timeless, the google indexing bots are no longer as kind to the website, so if you…
This is CLASSIC as it gets, when it comes to comfort food in my home growing up in the Caribbean. While my sisters never really cared for ground provisions (yam, dasheen, cassava, eddoes etc), my brother and I were just as our dad or at least tried to copy him in any way we could….
One of the better condiments you can have with curry dishes IMHO is roasted coconut chutney! And while that recipe consistently gets praised by fans of the website, I thought I’d UP the game and share my Fire Roasted Coconut Pineapple version with you today. You’ll Need… 2 dry coconuts1 small ripe pineapple6-10 scotch bonnet…
Roasted Carrots and Beets is simply not a recipe you’ll associate with the Caribbean. During my time as a young fella on the islands, I don’t think I ever once saw beets being sold in the market.. as a matter of fact, I didn’t taste beets until I moved to North America. How times have…
We always had Bodi (aka Bora, Yard Beans or Snake Beans) growing in our little kitchen garden at the back of the house when I was growing up on the islands. Over the years I’ve not only come to enjoy this bean (wasn’t a fan as a child), but I’ve found different ways to prepare…
Somehow it seems that Caribbean People always got some leftover rice in a ‘butter dish’ (any plastic reusable container) in the fridge. And after filming the Tantalizing Pepper Pork video demo, I thought.. why not a fried rice for lunch. BTW old school Caribbean use the term “butter dish” as back in the day, margarine…
I’m not the biggest fan of lobster and if you follow me on Instagram you would have seen talk about how I (humbly) think it’s an overrated (pricey) ingredient to use. However, the odd time I do prepare lobster, it’s usually the recipe I’m about to share with you today. I’m using small (cold water)…
With an abundance of plump Cherry Tomatoes in our garden and the thousands of requests I get for more recipes in the #MeatFreeMonday series on YouTube, I thought I’d share (while not “Caribbean”) a simple and delicious salad with you all. You’ll Need… 1- 1 1/2 lbs cherry tomatoes (sliced in 1/2)1/2 large red onion…
As the title of the recipe state, these are PEPPER WINGS! Yes, you can tailor the heat level to your liking and be sure to use peppers you can source or enjoy. While I did have access to more extreme peppers (watch the video), I used the peppers I know my family could handle with…
Here’s one of those comforting dishes you and your family will enjoy on those cozy winter nights (yea I’m based in Canada where we get COLD winters). Steam/boil some rice and you’re golden. You may also cook this in advance and freeze, to just thaw/heat and enjoy when you don’t feel like cooking after a…
