Garlic Coconut Mashed Yams (Sweet Potatoes)

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 21:37:52 -0500

This flavorful vegan side dish is ever-so-slightly adapted from a recipe in The Millennium Cookbook. These yams are truly addictive. They are a beautiful bed for a filet of fish, and a perfect complement to Caribbean-inspired dishes such as jerked meat or tempeh. I've even been known to eat the leftovers cold, straight from the refrigerator! This is a savory sweet potato dish, rather than the traditional sweet ones - It emphasizes the flavors of garlic and thyme. -- posted by What's Cooking?

In the Pink

Here is a pink premium drink with a kick of caffeine, which is yummy and fun and a great sitting-by-the-pool beverage. Three tips: To make it even easier, use any fruit juice if you don't have the nectar. To make it stronger, skip the nectar. To feel totally pampered, use mango sorbet in place of the nectar.

Orange-Ginger Broiled Pork Tenderloin

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 23:04:48 -0400

Broiling the tenderloin makes the most tender, juicy meat; and you'll love the subtle orange-ginger flavor. If you want more flavor, you can increase the amounts of orange juice and ginger. I served this with a green salad, corn on the cob, and applesauce. This makes a great sandwich the next day with some honey-mustard dressing spread on it. Tip: My parents made this on the grill and it was outstanding!!! -- posted by KissKiss

Quinoa Beef Picadillo

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 23:58:21 -0400

From: "Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way" by Lorna Sass. "Picadillo, a zesty ground beef stew of Spanish orgin, was welcomed enthusiastically into the kitchens of many Caribbean and Latin American cooks during the Colonial period. Variations abound, but I favor the ones that achieve a balance of sweet and salty by including raisins and pimento-stuffed olives. Though picadillo is traditionally served over rice, by mixing high-protein quinoa right into the stew, you can go easy on the meat and still have a very satisfying meal." -- posted by Engrossed

Puerto Rican Cabbage Salad

This recipe goes well with rice and beans and fish tacos according to the blurb in the magazine. A serving size is 3/4 of a cup according to the recipe notes. If you use pre-shredded carrots and cabbage, this comes together in a snap. -- posted by Oolala

Absolute Best Chicken Soup

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:20:17 -0500

This is a family recipe I stumbled upon through marriage. It is a Latin-style chicken soup and it is the best I have tasted. Basically, my mother-in-law makes this soup with a few founding ingredients and then throws in whatevers available. Its always good, but I've narrowed it down for myself and you to the best ingredients to use. This recipe is great for serving to a large amount of people. *Note: You use a whole (8-piece cut) chicken if you want to serve 6-8, but if you are serving more than 6, for the purposes of the stock, use only split leg quarters. The recipe is best when fresh ingredients are used, especially cilantro. Don't even bother with the recipe if you don't have fresh cilantro. After the chicken is fully cooked, you can try to fish it out and separate the meat from the bones, but I don't usually bother with it. -- posted by Tabasco Saucy

Tropical Chicken Couscous W/ Rum Vinaigrette

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:25:52 -0400

I bought some dried mango from a food market today and wanted to see if I could do something different with it. My idea was to do something with a Caribbean theme to its flavors but it certainly isn't authentic. I used chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken to make this extra easy. The recipe could easily be scaled up to feed more. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Slow-Cooker Black Bean Soup

Tue, 05 May 2009 01:35:16 -0400

Cumin and fiery serrano chile infuse this simple soup as it cooks, and a dollop of sour cream provides a refreshing foil for the spicy flavors. For less heat, seed the chile first or use a milder pepper, such as jalapeno. You can also omit the chile altogether, if your prefer. You can soak the beans before you go to bed, then wake up and put everything together in the crockpot. You will have a hearty, satisfying soup that is low in calories and fat waiting for you when you come home from work. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Taken from chilicheesefries.net; posted for ZWT 5. "This recipe is fantastic for any time you want to cook out with Caribbean inspired flavors such as rum, allspice, citrus, cinnamon, Scotch bonnet peppers and cilantro. While not quite jerk, the influence is definitely there. I love to serve these freakishly good tasting grilled shrimp over a bed of mashed sweet potatoes topped with fresh grilled pineapple slices that have been marinated in dark brown sugar. Serve all this up with a few pitchers of mojitos and you may think you are on vacation or at least just wished you were. Pass the rum please." -- posted by alligirl

This is a great summer drink from Dale Degroff (The Essential Cocktail) that will go by the pitcher! This recipe is by the glass, though, for sipping on the patio. If you don't have all four rums, you can improvise by doubling up (I would recommend making sure to use dark rum and coconut rum, however). Angostura bitters really make the drink, but could be left out if you don't have them (usually found in the tropical drink section at a supermarket or liquor store). -- posted by Ames Shaps

A great tasting family breakfast smoothie that is also good for you; add the rum for an adult version, if you like. You can sub strawberries for the mango and papaya to make strawberry pineapple banana smoothies. Yum..... -- posted by BecR
