Scampi is the name of several species of lobsters, but in the USA and United Kingdom scampi refers to a method of preparing seafood. Scampi is usually served with bread or on a bed of rice or pasta.

I have only eaten shrimp scampi one other time in my life and it was a few years ago while on vacation in the USA and it was the most wonderful dish I had ever had. From that day the taste has been stuck in my head and I can't shake it. I have been meaning to recreate the dish and finally gave it a shot. It tasted really great and my family enjoyed it as well.

Fruit Salad

3:06 AM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »

It is said by experts that we should consume 4 - 5 servings of fruits each day, here is one way of getting in a few servings, a quick, healthy and absolutely delicious fruit salad should do the trick. For the past 4 months I have been having a piece of fruit for breakfast, it's quick and simple, but lately I have become bored with just an apple or a banana, so I started making fruit salads instead, it makes breakfast so much more interesting. The kids seem to enjoy their morning fruit salads too.

1 cup green seedless grapes
1 navel orange, sectioned
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup pineapples, diced
1 cup cored and diced apples
Juice from 1 lemon

Directions

• Place apples in a bowl and pour in lemon juice, toss to coat apples, lemon juice prevents apples from turning brown.
• Peel and section oranges.
• In another bowl add the pineapple, strawberries, grapes, oranges and apples.
• Toss to combine and serve.

Carrot Cake with Rum Glaze

6:09 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »

This carrot cake is really moist and makes a delicious dessert. I made it while my little girl slept, so to prevent her from being startled awake by the sound of the food processor I had to grate the carrots by hand as opposed to using the food processor with the grater blade attachment. I really thought I was going to pull a muscle or sprain my hand during the process, I kept stopping to massage my hand. In the end it was all worth it since I got such a great end result.

Curry Chicken

12:51 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »

Curry Chicken is a very popular dish in Jamaica, it is oftened served with steamed white rice, but I prefer it with rice and peas.

A few months ago I bought a pack of curry powder at the supermarket and used it in my curry chicken dish but it turned out to be the wrong one so I ended up throwing out the rest of the curry powder because I didn't like the flavour. When I went back to the supermarket I was confronted with a selection of curry powder to choose from, I was thoroughly confused to say the least. I couldn't perform a smell test because they were all in sealed bags so  I relied on a colour test instead and my husband's memory of what the previous package of the curry powder we bought looked like. My husband's memory won.

1 whole chicken (2 lbs)
3 tablespoons curry powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
1 onion
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups water (enough to cover meat and vegetables)

Directions

• Chop up onion, celery and carrots.
• Cut chicken into pieces.
• Season meat with salt and 2 tablespoons curry powder.
• Add onion, celery, carrots and 1 tablespoon curry powder and combine. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade for 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat skillet and oil.
• Separate the chicken from the onion and vegetables.
• Add the meat to the hot oil and brown on both sides.
• Add the vegetables and onion to the skillet.
• Pour the water into the pot, the water should cover the meat and vegetables.
• Allow ingredients to cook for about 45 - 60 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and slightly thickened.

I remember going to La Parilla restaurant a few years ago and ordering a salmon dish, it was fantastic, so because of that experience I decided to try preparing it at home.

Coconut Bundt Cake

5:20 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »
Coconut, unlike its name suggests is not a nut but the seed from a coconut palm. In Jamaica the white inner surface of the shell is grated and used for adding flavour to Rice and Peas, make desserts such as Grater Cake , Coconut Gizzada and Coconut Drops. The water inside the coconut is refreshing and has a slightly sweet flavour.

My husband and I love the taste of coconut, so I made us a special treat, a Coconut Bundt Cake and it was delicious. It was my first time making it and it turned out great, my family also enjoyed it and I especially love the bundt signature ring design.

Banana Raisin Pancakes

11:07 PM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »

My older son absolutely loves banana pancakes and he always wants me to make them, so I decided to kick off the weekend with banana pancakes with a raisin twist, because he also loves raisins. With banana pancakes you don't need syrup unlike regular pancakes, they are perfectly bursting with flavour and what a way to get a serving of heart healthy potassium.

1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoon coconut powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons raisins
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

• Put the flour, coconut powder, salt, granulated sugar and raisins in a bowl and whisk.
• Beat the egg and add the bananas, milk, vanilla essence and whisk.
• Add wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine.
• Heat a skillet on medium heat and heat a little oil.
• Ladle the batter into pan and cook on both sides until golden brown.
• Serve.

Sweet Potato Pudding

6:05 AM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »

I love sweet potato pudding, so does my husband and most, if not all Jamaicans, it's a popular Jamaican dessert. I remember when I was a kid and my mother would make sweet potato pudding on the weekends which was a great treat. She would mix up the pudding batter and pour it into a cast iron pot lined with banana leaves. Then my mom would place the pot directly on burning coals and cover the top with another layer of coals to allow the pudding to cook both on the top and bottom at the same time like a convection oven. The pudding always turned out delicious.

After a few trials and errors, I decided to come up with a new recipe that would leave the pudding moist but still be able to slice it as opposed to spooning it out of the pan which has happened a few times in the past. It was a bit nerve racking wondering if my new pudding recipe would actually work and guess what, it did. I have come up with my own winning recipe and we all love the end result.

3 1/4 cups grated sweet potato
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup coconut milk
3 eggs
2/3 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup Appleton rum
1 teaspoon ginger

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking tin with parchment paper.
  • Put the flour, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl, whisk to combine.
  • Grate sweet potatoes.
  • Beat eggs.
  • Add coconut milk, eggs, sugar, ginger, rum, butter and raisins to sweet potato,  mix until properly combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix until all the ingredients are properly combined.
  • Pour batter into baking tin.
  • Bake for 2 hours & 12 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

Jamaican Beef Patties

7:06 AM Posted In , , Edit This 4 Comments »

I have finally made Jamaican Beef Patties and my husband and sons say they taste just like the ones we are use to eating in Jamaica, our home country. Patty is like the national pastry of Jamaica. When you think Jamaica, a few things come to mind, Bob Marley, reggae music, Jerk Chicken, the gorgeous sunshine, the beautiful  white sand and Jamaican Beef Patties.

There are two rival patty companies in Jamaica, Juici Patties and Tastee and they make great patties. When Jamaicans are travelling overseas, family and friends request patties and Appleton Rum, because Jamaicans get homesick for the taste of their food which are impossible to get in other countries, so as a result I decided to find or create the perfect patty recipe and I came up with this one after a few experiments.

These patties turned out great, when you bite into them the crust flakes yet when you touch them they have a soft yet puffy surface. I am happy with the result so is my family.

Crust

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cup unsalted butter (12 oz)
1 tablespoon curry powder

Filling

1 lb mince beef
1 tablespoon mince seasoning
1/2 cup diced onion
2 stalks scallions
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 cup water

Directions

For Crust:
  • Add flour , salt and curry powder to food processor bowl (use steel blades) and pulse for 2 seconds.
  • Add 4 tablespoons of butter to flour mixture and pulse 10 - 12 times (1 second per pulse) until butter is absorbed.
  • Add the remaining butter and pulse 2 times to distribute, there should still be chunks of butter in the bowl.
  • Add the water and pulse 3 - 4 times until dough starts to form. (Do Not Over Mix)
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface and form into a rectangle. Lightly flour top of dough to prevent sticking.
  • Flatten dough with a rolling pin and roll back and forth to form dough into a smooth rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Then fold dough into 3 parts like a letter and roll flat.
  • You will still see pieces of butter in the dough but by rolling it into a rectangle then folding it into 3 parts like a letter and repeating the process about 5 - 6 more times it will melt into the flour. The butter causes the flaky layer of the crust to form. (If at any time the dough becomes soft and sticky, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour).
  • Fold dough into 3 parts like a letter, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
For Filling:
  • Season beef with mince spice and black pepper and let it marinade for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat skillet on medium heat and add oil.
  • Sauté the onions and scallions for 2 minutes, constantly stirring.
  • Add mince and stir for 3 minutes.
  • Add water and hot pepper sauce, let meat simmer for 20 minutes, until water has nearly dried out.
  • Add bread crumbs and combine ingredients, stir for 3 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and leave to cool.
For Dough:
  • Lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and unfold.
  • Use a rolling pin to smooth out the surface, just a couple of rolls will do.
  • Cut the dough into 6 inch circles.
  • Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of meat onto half of the circle leaving space at the edge of the dough.
  • Lightly brush the edge with water and fold the other half of the dough over the meat to enclose it, press down on the edge with a fork to seal dough.
  • Place patties on a greased baking sheet.
  • Place patties in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 - 40 minutes. The bottom of the patties should have a light golden brown colour.
  • Remove from oven and cool, and then serve.
