Jamaican Garden Salad
So simple, yet different. We just got back from Jamaica, and this was a salad we ate quite often. Most restaurants we went to served this as their “garden salad” and it was always served with thousand island dressing. We loved it so much, we made it as soon as we got back.
Jamaican Grilled Sweet Potatoes
This recipe is in the Favorite Brand Name Recipes book for the George Foreman Grill. This is a great way to fix sweet potatoes, spicy and sweet. These can also be cooked outside on a gas or charcoal grill.

Jamaican Rice and Peas
The peas in this aren’t really peas at all, but red beans. It is customary in the Caribbean to refer to beans as “peas”. This recipe uses coconut cream, but the flavor is mild and not overpowering–just enough to give a hint of island flavor. The scotch bonnet is not as fiery as you’d think as well, since it is added whole and not cut (to expose the seeds and membranes). If you want it hot, you can cut it open, but the dish has a mild flavor of chile overall. Great serving ideas for this recipe would include jerk chicken, calalou, conch chowder, beef patties, or curry. For dessert, I have served this with Caribbean Lime Mousse (recipe posted here).
