How about Caribbean food for the next one? No specific island or country, just anything inspired by the Caribbean Islands. Maybe Gore can come up with Firegrates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Wack Squirrel. :biggrin1:

Is Gore finally going to cook squirrel?

First meal she made me, and first Indian food I really liked. Yes, she makes it often, but not usually smoked. Still have some curry in the fridge from yesterday.

Carribbean Chicken Sweet & Tangy

This is my official entry, pretty please.

It is also posted in Q-Talk: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158624

This Carribbean chicken is a recipe I have made for many years, and was once a favorite of my mother. She was so fond of the sweet and tangy flavors of it. Here are the ingredients that go into the "secret sauce" if you will-- lemon (including zest), coarse ground pepper, two shots of white wine, dark corn syrup, crushed oregano, seasoned salt, and butter to follow.

Out to the pit to grill the chicken breasts

Then we simmer the breasts in the secret sauce for a spell. Notice the lemon zest atop the chicken. Whoever thought of that one is brilliant.

Okay, we're now ready to plate it on a bed of orange rice and special green beans. Simple and humble appearance perhaps, but it greets the taste buds most affectionately.

Dar, and this'd be me specific entry shot

Jamaican me crazy mon!

Please accept this as my official entry to the Caribbean Style Throw-down.

Paid a little visit to my local fish monger today to pick up some goodies for the Caribbean Throw-down. and got some freshies.

Mahi Mahi, large pink Gulf shrimp,fesh large Stone Crabs, 1lb ground conch, Conch chowda, then to the grocery store for some Coulantro, red bell pepper, scotch Bonnet peppers and Pidgeon Peas. Next stop liquor store for some Caribe Beer!

The ground Conch in a bowl.

Added 2 eggs, red bell peppers, coulantro, onion, scotch bonnets, lime juice, bread crumbs and flour.

All blended.

My wife was ready for a little appetizer so she helped herself to the Stone Crab Claws, mustard sauce and a glass of Cava.

Cleaned and de-veined a couple of shrimp

Marinated in some jerk paste and skewered

Set up the Kamado direct heat HOT and set my trusty cast iron skillet to work
loaded with the Blackened seasoned Mahi fillet.

Fried the Conch Fritters

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen I had the Rice and peas cookin on the range! The final plating and lets eat!

Please use this as my official entry shot!
