Fried Plantains
Recipe by:
Donna
Plantains can only be eaten cooked. Fried plantains are a traditional treat in Latin America and many other parts of the world. Overly ripe plantains work best for this recipe. If you want a savoury experience, serve these with salt. If you want something sweet, serve with sugar and cinnamon.
Authentic Arawak BBQ Sauce
Recipe by:
Wesley Murks
This is a West Indian marinade that's been used for generations. It's best suited for fish and game, but I also like it on chicken and pork. Make sure you adjust the amount of chillies to your taste. Also, I sometimes replace the orange juice with marmalade for a sweeter marinade.
Basil and Lime Chicken
I was going to use coconut milk instead of the creme fraiche but found the creme fraiche first... will try that another time though. These two actually go really nicely together... very caribbeanny
