Homemade pickles Bunch of cucumbers; about same size 4 Tablespoons pickling spice 6 - 10 bunches of dill, chopped 4-6 garlic cloves 1 cup white vinegar 2/3 cup pickling salt 2 quarts filtered water Wash, scrub, rince & dry cucumbers. In a large stone crock or kettle sprinkle in 1/2 pickling spice, dill & garlic. Place cucumbers in crock, leaving few inches at the top. Sprinkle rest of all spices on top. Mix water, vinegar & salt & pour over cucumbers. Put something on top of the cucumbers to keep them submerged in the brine; Grannie used an old round smooth stone! Cover the top with cheesecloth and tie it with twine around the crock to keep it in place. Put in a cool dry place; we used the pantry. Skim off the foam as it forms over the next 3-4 weeks; add more brine as necessary to keep them covered at all times. Leave them another month to soak up flavors. Can them in Mason jars to keep all year a round! Enjoy! As a child, my sisters & I loved checking on the "foam" and spooning it off. |

grill?.....yikes!! ...try frying ![]() Puerto Rican Tostones (Fried Plantains) Directions Heat the oil in a large skillet. Place the plantains in the oil and fry on both sides; approximately 3 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the plantains from the pan and flatten the plantains by placing a plate over the fried plantains and pressing down. Dip the plantains in water, then return them to the hot oil and fry 1 minute on each side. Salt to taste and serve immediately. always order with shrimp in garlic sauce i be hating on the tomato sauce,,, ...... banana chips.... Banana Chips (A substitute for potato chips) Peel green bananas and slice lengthways or crossways as desired. Sprinkle with pepper and salt and fry up quickly in fat or lard. Pile on a dish and serve immediately. get them salted or unsalted, ripe or green in 99c snack packs in the store both are actually African in origin ``Living off the Country," published in 1942 ``Tales from the Dark Continent "(Charles Allen, editor, New York: St. Martin's Press, 1979) which collects various documents related to British colonialism in Africa.

I had fried plantains at a Jamaican Restaurant recently! They were my first taste of it and I was surprised how good they were. I also had the curry goat and rice & peas. At the end they served us this coconut crumbly ball wrapped in plastic. All of it was delicious! Now, I should try the plantains at home! |

Maybe I should create a new thread about this but I want to know if any of you have ever eaten raw vegan food? Did you like it? Why or why not? Would you try it if you haven't yet? Do you know anyone who is a vegan? Do you have any recipes? Thank you! :-) |

..look closely the plantains are different ..the Jamaican restaurant one is ripe somewhat fried `'soggy soft'..similar to the Chinese restaurant type ...the African restaurant one is ripe but fried ``firm" ...the Spanish restaurant one is green plantain fried firm but still ``chewy" ...... fyi Edited by beserker, May 12 2015, 01:59 PM.

My sister in law makes this dish for me when I'm upset or down. She calls it wali wa nazi and it's simple. Coconut milk & rice. - 4 cups cooked rice - 1 cup coconut milk or more to taste - salt to taste Mix coconut milk & salt in a sauce pan, heat slightly then add the cooked rice. Heat slowly until it's warm. Stir to keep it from burning. Enjoy! |

Another dish my sister in law makes is a coconut crusted fish. - egg & milk with salt & pepper for dipping, mixed - 1/2 cup bread crumbs & 2 Tablespoons shredded coconut, mixed - 2-4 Tablespoons butter for frying - Fish filets of choice, she uses white fish Dip the filet in the egg / milk wash then into the breadcrumb mix. Fry in butter on low heat until cooked through. Add more butter as needed. She serves this with egg noodles tossed in fresh parsley & butter, and usually a nice tossed salad. |
