Seafood and Curry lovers, I got YOU! The delicious combination of wild caught shrimp and lobster claws in a CLASSIC Caribbean curry sauce… no need for coconut milk, but rock it if you feel the need. This is one of my all-time favorite way to use curry with seafood and I can guarantee it will…
Few housekeeping notes before we get started with this recipe to avoid the hate and backside comments. This recipe is inspired by Saag Chicken we get at a local Indian restaurant. This is NOT (even though the ingredients are very similar) genuine Indian Saag Chicken, it’s my take on Saag Chicken if we were to…
Here’s a dish which can be a soup (as I treated it today), a stew (add some cubed potato and other root vegetables) or reduced to a lovely lentil side dish. While not the classic way we do lentils in the Caribbean, you’ll find that it’s just as tasty and COMFORTING! You’ll Need… 2 cans…
You’re about to CHANGE your Curry Chicken game FOREVER! It’s ridiculous how simply adding roasted Butternut Squash (any squash will work) changes everyday curry chicken to something even more comforting and tasty. No, there’s no need to add coconut to this dish IMHO (I know there will be people asking). You’ll Need… 3-4 lbs chicken2…
Here’s another one of those classic Chinese dishes you’ll find in restaurants and food trucks on islands where Chinese Indentured Laborers settled in the Caribbean, after the end of slavery. Especially Trinidad and Tobago, where this was part of that classic Saturday lunch my brother and I would have when dad took us to the…
With another bumper crop of insanely hot peppers in my garden and the new little toy I got (Traeger Grill) this past summer, it was only natural that I gave you all a smoked pepper sauce (hot sauce) recipe. The fiery peppers and lovely undertone of smoke and tamarind will have your tastebuds dancing, with…
I’ll be first to admit that I’m not the biggest of fans of Lamb (terrible experience with overcooked grilled lamb a few years ago – my jaw still aches), plus I can’t get past the slight ‘gamey’ taste you get . However when slowly braised in a rich coconut curry sauce, I’m game lick a…
It’s very rare you’ll find someone from the Islands who don’t enjoy great seafood, it’s just natural I think. Fried, grilled, stewed, curry, oven-baked, fire-roasted and in stews like this one, we’ve got so many ways to enjoy the bounty of the Caribbean Sea. Yea we even do ceviche too! Here’s one of my favorite…
When people search for a proper Jamaican stewed oxtail recipe, they’re usually looking for deep flavor, tender meat, and that rich, dark gravy that only comes from patience and tradition. While I grew up in Trinidad and Tobago, where oxtail wasn’t always front and center, my real introduction to Jamaican-style stewed oxtail came through a…
I teased this giveaway on Instagram back in December, but with my busy schedule and the arrival of Zyair, I just didn’t have time until now to share the full details. As you can image, I go through a LOT of dirty dishes everyday. Between the everyday running of our home and me filming to…
I LOVE Dhal.. that rich and thick yellow split peas soup we make in the Caribbean, based on recipes brought to our shores by Indentured Laborer’s from India almost 200 years ago. However, since I dislike using a pressure cooker, I find that I don’t have the patience to wait the 1.5 hours needed. This…
Unlike those thick vegetable and ground provision laden soups the region is known for, this Tomato Soup hits different on many levels. Smooth, rich and creamy with a hint of herbs and bursting with flavors of the summer. With the vine ripe tomatoes freshly harvested from my garden. You’ll Need… 4-5 lbs tomatoes2 tablespoon olive…
