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…
Two years back we kicked off the New Year with my incredibly tasty Cook Up Rice, loaded with chicken, salted pigtail pieces and black eyed peas for the good luck associated with using it at the start of a new year. While you’ll see similarities with that recipe and the beef version we’re about to…
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…
One of the most comforting meals I always make when I miss ‘home’ (the Caribbean) is Curry Stew Chicken Wings with a simple side of brown rice. Should I have slices of avocado (say zabouca), cucumber and fresh watercress, it’s even more warm and homely. Today we’ll go through the steps of making this dish…
While the classic way of making this dish is to use the tender leaves of the Dasheen (taro) plant, the end result of using baby spinach as I’m about to share, is just as tasty. Whether it’s served with Dhal and Rice or alongside hot Sada Roti, bhagi remains one of my favorite vegetarian dishes….
Across the Caribbean we’ve got our ‘own’ way of making Curry Goat and over the years I’ve shared the sort of Classic Curry Goat, an Outdoor Fiery Curry Goat, Slow Cooker Curry Goat, a One Hour Curry Goat using a pressure cooker, Curry Goat Done In The Oven and the Classic Jamaican Curry Goat. While…
This Bok Choy (Shanghai Bok Choi) recipe is loosely based on the way mom would make her Fry Pak Choi With Saltfish as well as her classic Fry Pak Choi with Stewed Pork, we grew up enjoying with Sada Roti. In this version we’re simply using leftover Corned Beef (bully beef) I had from dinner…
Traditional Caribbean Dhal is something that’s close and dear to me, a dish which takes me back to being a lil fella on the islands. While mommy didn’t cook curry very often, the days after school when we’d come home to Rice, Dhal and Curry (you may say curried) Chicken, was something we (brother and…
Bodi or Bora, and some may even know it as Yard Beans, Snake Beans, Pea Beans, Asparagus Beans or Chinese Long Beans, is one of my favorite curry dishes, even as a lil fella on the islands. And while the recipe will work with French or String beans, Bodi has a unique flavor it imparts…
Over the years I’ve shared a number of Curry Shrimp recipes with you and while the Masala Shrimp seems to be on everyone’s list of fav recipes, I get just as many emails about the Curry Crab with Lobster I most recently published. As mentioned in the video of this recipe, we are changing things…
A few years back I shared the recipe for making Stewed Red Herrings (as it’s known in Barbados) and even further back we did Cabbage With Smoked Herrings and in 2010 we did this very same way of preparing Smoked Herrings, however you will see slight differences with this updated version. Should you visit Barbados,…
