Here’s yet another dish I’d never touch as a lil fella growing up on the islands, yet today it’s one of my favorite things to have with Dhal and Rice, with a side of Kuchela. We (my brother and 2 sisters) weren’t overly picky eaters as children, however we did make it a bit challenging…
Do we really need another Curry Goat recipe? If the technique is different than the ones I’ve already shared, absolutely YES we do! Over the years we done Curry Goat in the Oven, in the Slow Cooker, Coal Pot, Pressure Cooker, and the more traditional low and slow way. However, in none of those recipes…
Not necessarily a dish you’d find commonplace in the Caribbean and as I’ve explained in the video below, my take on this was born out of necessity (in my home). A combination of having pieces of tomatoes from the Preparing 25lbs of Tomato For the Winter post, and times when I have an abundance of…
I LOVE Tomato Choka and if I’m being honest, I can probably have it everyday for the rest of my life. Such is the adoration I have for this tasty vegan dish. With that in mind and the fact that Canadian Winters can be severe, I try to process the tomato while the temperature is…
I originally shared a Curry Stew(ed) Chicken recipe back in 2009 and like the Caribbean Green Seasoning recipe I updated a couple days back, it’s now buried under hundreds of newer recipes. So while it’s not my intention to repeat recipes, you’ll find some subtle differences with this one, plus I had several requests for…
Over the years I’ve shared about 30 + Soup Recipes and to be honest and frank, I’ve barely touched the surface when it comes to Caribbean and Caribbean inspired soup recipes. Such is our love for soups throughout the Caribbean. While this one is not your typical thick and ‘stew’ like variety you’d normally enjoy…
While not my choice for a side to Pealu as with many people, I do enjoy coleslaw during BBQ season, especially with spicy Jerk Chicken or Pork. Crunchy, tangy with a slight sweetness, and the creamy overall consistency is perfect to tame down or add balance to the heat from fiery dishes. You’ll Need… 1/2…
When you’re in the mood (as was I) for a delicious slice of Pineapple Upside Down Cake but you dislike baking (too precise for my liking) nor do you have the time to make one from scratch, you reach for a boxed cake mix and get busy in the kitchen. Do you enjoy your Pineapple…
This recipe takes me back to Dorado on the north coast of Puerto Rico. I recall it being scorching hot (when you leave the winter month of February in Canada the sun seems more intense), and a bucket of Corona (5) at the bar was $20 and, like all Caribbean watering holes, the music was…
Growing up in Trinidad, dhal was always bubbling on the stovetop, simple, nourishing, and perfect for soaking up with rice or roti. But when salted beef got tossed into the pot? Oh gosh, now yuh talking! The smoky, salty richness of the beef adds a whole new dimension to this classic yellow split pea dish….
I recall our grandma referring to this extract as ooucou and it always found it’s way in her stewed fish and Pelau dishes, to give it at that rich colour and flavor (according to her). Today at home it’s used in just about every Caribbean stew and soup I make and during the warm months…
I know the title of the recipe will rub some people wrong in some way or the other, as every time I place a country’s name in one of my recipes, it’s just the norm. Hateful and sometimes ridiculous comments. Yes, throughout the Caribbean we have fish soup in one form or the other and…
