Breadfruit Simmered In Coconut Milk And Stewed Pork.

This combination of breadfruit simmered in a stew of coconut milk and pork is one of those dishes which takes me right back to being a carefree boy on the islands. My dad would have ‘card’ night with my grandfather, his brother-in-law (my grandmother’s brother) and a few other fellas from the village. Since mom knew this was usually an all-night thing, she would always make a huge pot of this. The crew always requested (demanded) it. My brother and I would always have our portion early (before hitting the bed).. sisters never cared for it.

Caribbean Stewed Pork Ribs.

We’ve grilled them, done a sort of “oven BBQ” during the winter and this coming summer I plan on doing a classic smoked/jerk over a charcoal fire, but for now I’d like to share yet another way to do pork ribs. You’re free to use the short ribs type you get at the Asian markets (ones sold for making dry garlic ribs), baby-back or your regular rack of pork ribs for this recipe. Using the classic Caribbean technique of ‘stewing’ to start, then we’ll slowly braise these ribs until they tender and packed with rich Caribbean flavor.

French Beans With Leftover Caribbean Stewed Pork.

Between spinach and beans it would be very difficult for me to decide which I adore more. The edge would probably go to beans simply because as a young fella on the islands I would help my parents grow different varieties in our kitchen garden. I hated pulling out the weeds, but I did enjoy harvesting them.. each bean picked off the bushes were like little prizes to my collection in the basket. Mom would normally make this dish for us whenever she would make stewed pork the evening before for dinner and had leftovers. If you’d like to make this dish vegetarian, simply leave out the stewed pork and for more flavor use coconut milk instead of the water mentioned in the ingredient list.

Eddoes With Leftover Trinbago Stewed Pork (recipe).

Whenever I make stewed pork (Trinidad style stewed pork) I purposely make extra so I have leftovers for adding to other dishes.. like this one using eddoes. As I’ve mentioned before I’m a ‘country’ boy at heart, so ground provisions (starchy root type vegetables) are a huge part of my diet (though expensive to buy…

Tender stew pork packed with a unique punch of flavor.

Growing up our dad was always at work (well at the time it seemed that way). But Sundays was our day. In the dry season he’d take me and my brother on long hikes through abandoned cacao and coffee estates to hunt and search out ground provisions. He was a master at finding yams of…
