Method

Brown Stew Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, thyme, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken Back

    Add the browned chicken back to the pot, followed by the chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Rice & Peas

  1. 6

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, canned red kidney beans, coconut milk, water, thyme, and salt.

  3. 8

    Cook Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Pepper Jam

  1. 9

    Prepare Ingredients

    In a pot, combine the chopped red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

  2. 10

    Cook Jam

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 11

    Add Pectin

    Stir in the pectin and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until the jam thickens.

  4. 12

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let it cool. Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator.

Confit Onion

  1. 13

    Prepare Onions

    In a saucepan, combine the sliced onions and olive oil.

  2. 14

    Cook Onions

    Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.

  3. 15

    Season

    Add salt to the onions and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool.
