Jamaican Pumpkin Soup

My wife and I went to the Grand Lido Braco resort in Jamaica and as soon as we arrived to the property, the first thing I wanted to do was to eat some Jamaican food. They brought out some Jamaican Pumpkin Soup and it was great. Then, it was onto the Jerk Chicken w/ Rice & Peas. But that’s for another time…Here’s the soup.

Jamaican Chicken Stew

Very tasty and easy to make. Another favorite of mine from cooking light. I generally use more curry powder and add jamaican hot sauce.

Jamaican Jerk-Spiced Tempeh Nuggets

This combination of spices is popular in Jamaica and adds that this vegetarian and vegan tempeh recipe could be served either as an hors d’oeuvres or as a main dish. I imagine that this could easily be transferred to chicken breast cubes for an omni version

Jamaican Patties; Beef, Chicken, or Lamb

These are delicious curry-flavored pastries found in the Caribbean islands, particularly in Jamaica. Great as a snack or as a Jamaican meal compliment. I also enjoy them with a spinach, corn, and bean salad. I have used pre-packaged Crescent rolls (2 cylinders rolled out and cut into 10 circles or phyllo dough (15 sheets cut lengthwise to make 30 triangles) as a time saver. Not as good or as spicy as the handmade pastry, but sometimes there’s just not enough time. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days an reheat in microwave on medium heat.
