This recipe is loosely based on the ‘bake’ (oven roasted) chicken mom would make for us as part of our Sunday lunch, growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. As mentioned in previous posts, Sunday Lunch was traditionally the biggest meal of the week and included several dishes which still brings comfort to me all these…
While similar to the texture and flavor of the Channa (chickpeas) served when you purchase Doubles in Trinidad and Tobago, this version is a bit more runny and typically treated as a thick soup. Served in a bowl or cup and topped with chutneys and pepper sauces for a hearty meal before a meal. You’ll…
I’ve shared countless ways of making this over the years, yet this version is still the classic and most requested by fans of my work. A simple dish, usually served with the easiest and most classic of all the roti’s we make in the Caribbean, Sada Roti. You’ll Need… 1 1/2 tablespoon veg oil1/2 medium…
Ever since making and sharing the recipe for the Stuffed Grilled Snapper, I knew this recipe would be a hit with vegans, vegetarians and those who follow an Ital food path. A quick and tasty stew made with pumpkin, spinach, Jamaican callaloo (Chorai bhagi) and okra. You’ll Need… 1 1/2 tablespoon veg oil1/2 medium onion…
Over the years dad’s tolerance for anything spicy has diminished considerably, and it’s to the point where he can’t handle any ‘spicy’ heat. Sadly it means no more of his fav Jerk Pork and Jerk Chicken. With that in mind and with a new crop of Pimento (seasoning) Peppers in the garden, I knew I…
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…
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……
Arguably the easiest Jamaican Rice and Peas to make is the Slow Cooker version I shared a while back and while that’s one of my go-to recipes, IMHO when you add salted pigtail to the dish it takes on a new level of ‘comfort’. Served with a healthy side of Jamaican Style Steamed Cabbage and…
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….
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…
This is one of my go-to recipes when I’m hosting people, especially around the holiday season (though I did share a Festive Christmas Rice recipe a few years back), thus the name ‘festive tomato rice”. Quick, easy and delicious, there’s absolutely no reason to not make this dish. You’ll Need… 2-3 large ripe tomatoes3 tablespoon…
