Caribbean Pepper Pot With Chicken And Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Pat the chicken dry, and season with some salt and pepper. Add the chicken, smooth side down, to the pan and cook until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the onion and garlic to the pot, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the allspice and tomatoes and cook until the juices are almost evaporated. Add the chicken broth, kale, sweet potatoes, okra, bay leaves, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, Scotch bonnet, and thyme. Bring the liquid to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk and the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp turn pale pink and are firm but not tough and rubbery, about 2 minutes. Ladle the stew into warm bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a 7-liter pressure cooker over medium heat. Stir in the oil, onion, bay leaves, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, the allspice, and thyme; cook, uncovered, until soft, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to high, stir in the tomato paste, and cook, stirring and scraping, until it turns brick red, about 2 minutes.
• Season the chicken with some salt and black pepper, to taste, and add it to the pot, turning to coat with the tomato and onion. Stir in the water, then add the chile, okra, potatoes, and collard greens in that order. You don't need to stir--the collards will cook down and keep everything moist as the cooker comes up to pressure. Close the pressure cooker lid and bring the pressure up to high (which can take up to 10 minutes), then reduce the heat, if necessary, to maintain an even pressure for 7 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and press the pressure indicator stem until no more steam comes out. Carefully open the pot. Remove and discard bay leaves. Ladle the stew into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Wash the meat & chop roughly into convenient pieces about 1 1/2 " square.
• Put into a large heavy saucepan.
• Cover with some of the water & bring very slowly to the boil.
• When just beginning to boil, add salt & continue to simmer over a low heat for at least 1 1/2 hours.
• Skim the scum from the surface.
• Add a little more cold water, skim again, & repeat the process 3 times.
• Add all the vegetables & seasonings except the peas.
• Simmer for a further hour, skimming from time to time if more scum arises.
• Stir in the peas, cook for a further 5 minutes, and serve very hot with plenty of pepper added.
• NOTE: split peas can be used instead of pigeon peas.

Steps:

• In a heavy pot, add the chicken stock, butter, and milk, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually add in the grits a little at a time, stirring until creamy. Remove from the heat.
• Add oil to a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add in the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and Scotch bonnet pepper, and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add in the okra and cook for 1 minute.
• Add in the diced tomatoes and juices, jerk spice, and chicken stock, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
• Season the stew with salt and sugar.
• Place shrimp on top of the okra stew. After two minutes, flip the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes, until cooked through. Sprinkle the stew with chopped parsley.
• Serve the shrimp stew over the grits.
• Enjoy!
