Hello Brothers & Sisters,
When we talk about food, I instantly think about making connections. This could be through social gatherings where we share some form of a meal or simply by sharing a recipe. One of things that has made COVD-19 so hard over the last 2.5 years, is the way some of us have lost those connections with each other because of restrictions and distancing measures. My hope is to bring us back together and share a meal, even if it is virtual!
This is an authentic Jamaican recipe that was passed down to me from my dad and uncles who believed in the Rastafarian philosophy that natural foods from the earth were filled with nutrients and vital to our health. Growing up on such traditional foods, I believe sharing this recipe with you reinforces the value of being strongly connected with our family/friends but also, it highlights the importance of healthy eating and living.
For this Jamaican recipe – it’s simple and inexpensive and you won’t need a lot of ingredients. It’s an easy and yummy way to experience Jamaica in your kitchen!
