Caribbean Meal


This dish of peas and rice, stewed chicken, fried ripe plantains, steamed okras and simple salad of lettuce, tomato and cucumber is my entry to Jugalbandi's Postcard series. The recipes are on the postcard as well. Enjoy.

@ Shn - aw, come on, have some okras. What is it about okras that you don't like?

Thanks Supriya. I'll definitely try it this way. Here in the Caribbean we usually cook okras whole (steamed or curried) or sliced (into little rounds) and fried with onions, garlic and herbs. I'll make a point to slicing it lengthwise the next time I cook it.
