Caribbbean food is one of the most under-valued cuisines in the UK and it’s hard to understand why – who doesn’t want to fire up their tastebuds with the flavours of candle-lit beach huts and sandy shores?
The Notting Hill Carnival is on this bank holiday weekend, but if you can’t get to London, transport some Caribbean culture to your own backyard.
Here are some mouth-watering recipes from the folks at Sugar Dumplin.
Co-founder Norris Panton says he wants to make Caribbean delights accessible to everyone.
He told us: “We’ve tried to bring the essence of the Caribbean to the UK, creating an honest menu that stays close to our roots.”
The vibrant colours will look super impressive on your party table (and your Instagram).
Don’t be scared off by the number of ingredients, the cooking method couldn’t be simpler. Stock up on the right supplies at a nearby market, then fire up the grill!
