jasmine rice

if you want your rice creamier and sticking with the west indian theme, add one cup of water and 3/4 of coconut milk and cook. rice will taste wonderful, with no coconut taste whatsoever.

Take some meat......pork, chicken, steak, beef stew meat....cook it till it's brown.

Cut up some veggies, any kind you like, we tend to use tomatoes, onions, green peppers. Throw them in the pan.

Add some ketsup, a little soy sauce, and some water. Cover everything.

Boil it till almost all the water disappears, leaving a gravy.

Pour over rice.

If using oxtail or goat, boil it for hours and keep replacing the liquids. Add the veggies in the last 30 minutes or so.

Andre seems to cook nearly every kind of meat there is just like this.

flour

salt

water

onions

green pepper

salt fish

Mix together, make into patties, and fry till golden brown.

Saltfish fritters are my favorite.

Peanut Porridge

½ cup raw peanut

1 cup oatmeal

1 tbsp. Flour

1 tbsp Cormmeal

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Evaporated Milk

A pinch of nutmeg

3 drops of Vanilla Flavoring

½ tsp Salt

Method:

Put the peanuts into an electric blender and blend the peanut until it is almost smooth. Remove the peanut from the blender and put it in a bowl.

Put the oatmeal into the blender, blend until the oatmeal becomes a powder. Combine the oatmeal, peanut, flour, and cornmeal into a pan. Add enough water to the mixture to make a liquid paste. Remember the flour and the oatmeal will give the porridge enough body to thicken it.

Bring water to boil in a pot, and then slowly pour the liquid paste into the boiling water. Add the salt to the pot. Keep stirring the pot, for ten minutes, to make sure that the flour does not get lumpy. Turn the fire to medium and place the pot cover onto the pot, slightly cocked to one side to allow the steam to escape; this prevents the porridge from boiling over.

Wait ten minutes and then stir the porridge again. Turn the fire down to low. Add vanilla flavoring and nutmeg. Add evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk to taste. Stir the porridge some more and then turn off the fire allow the porridge to cool and then pour into a bowl. Serve with bread, or just by itself.
