Sweet Potato on a whole adds a tropical twist to any Caribbean dish, and goes well with any spicy or grilled dishes. Fast and easy to make. Definitely a recipe you want to try if youâ€™re looking to spice up any dinner party.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound Carrots – peeled and chunked
1/4 cup Orange juice – or pineapple juice if desired
1 pound Sweet potates – peeled and 1 inch cubed
1 tablespoon honey – to taste
1 cup Banana – cut in chunks (1 large banana)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Pineapple – fresh, diced
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper – coarse, fresh ground

Instructions for Caribbean Sweet Potatoes:

In a pot of boiling water, add the carrots and boil for about 3 minutes. Then add the sweet potato cubes and cook until both are tender (about 10 – 12 minutes).

Drain and dump into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mash lightly. You want a somewhat chunky texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

Serve with grilled meat or other spicy Caribbean dishes.

A great idea for a vegetarian main this holiday season – simply a perfect pastry and scrummy filling.The only downside, is getting all the filling in the 20cm pie. But all in all a great vegetarian dish.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

450g new potatoes , diced
1 medium red onion , thinly sliced
450g savoy cabbage , shredded
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 dried chilli , crushed
1 quantity shortcrust pastry (see ‘Goes well with’ below) made with 2 tbsp lightly crushed cumin seeds
4 medium eggs
1 tbsp milk , to glaze

Method:

1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, then gently cook the potatoes and onion for about 10 mins until golden and tender. (You may need to do this in two batches.) Season, then set aside.

2. Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add half the cabbage, garlic, cumin seeds, chilli, seasoning and 1 tbsp water, then cook for 3-4 mins until the cabbage is wilted and tender. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients.

3. Roll out half the pastry and use to line a 20cm pie plate. Place the potatoes and onions in the bottom, then top with the cabbage mixture. Make 4 wells in the cabbage and crack an egg into each.

4. Brush the pastry border with water. Roll out remaining pastry, then use to cover the pie, trimming the edges and pinching together to seal. Brush the pastry with milk. Make a hole in the centre to allow steam to escape. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 25-35 mins until crisp and golden.

Avocado Soup Recipe

Written by Caribbean Recipe Blogger in Soup Recipes

Print This Post

Just combine a bit of garlic, half the chicken stock, lime juice, sour cream, avocado, and salt and pepper in a blender or food processor then puree â€“ and viola â€”a whole new dish. Avocado soup is usually thick, a little bit sweet, and a little bit briny. Along with some baked tortilla chips and peach salsa, and paired with a tall glass of orange or grapefruit juice, it made a perfect lunch.
