Turn cornmeal is really a classic Jamaican dish. The initial recipe is refined cornmeal cooked in coconut milk. I diverted a little in the original recipe with the addition of mixed vegetables to mine. Turn cornmeal is good with steamed fish and okras or curry chicken. There are various ways of cooking Jamaican turn cornmeal, this really is my version. Watch video recipe here .
Turn cornmeal with steamed fish and cooked okras
1 stalk scallion, chopped
2 slices hot pepper
2 slices eco-friendly sweet pepper
1/2 teaspoon. pepper
1 teaspoon. all-purpose season
1 teaspoon. butter or margarine
1 cup coconut milk
1 small (425g) tin mixed vegetable, drained
A little bit of fresh eco-friendly thyme
Place a medium-size Nederlander pot or saucepan on high temperature with 2 glasses of water, scallion, onion, hot and sweet peppers, salt, thyme, pepper, margarine and all sorts of purpose. Cover the pot and prepare the seasonings for 5 minutes. Add some coconut milk and mixed vegetables, taste and adjust the flavour with the addition of more salt as needed.
After adding the coconut milk and mixed vegetables, lower heat towards the cheapest and then prepare for just two more minutes. Don't place the cornmeal in to the pot as the heat is high, should you choose so, the cornmeal will end up hard too rapidly and won't prepare correctly, and for that reason you'll eat raw and cooked switched cornmeal. Heat should turn very low or switch off.
Place the cornmeal in to the pot and stir intensely, this really is to make sure that the cornmeal is drenched within the liquid. Tthere shouldn't be dry cornmeal. Cover the pot and steam prepare the cornmeal for five-7 minutes.To make sure that the cornmeal is correctly cooked taste it. cooked cornmeal includes a smooth taste while uncooked cornmeal includes a grainy taste. The switched cornmeal shouldn't be soft it ought to be fairly stiff, also it clean breaks from the sides from the pot. Switched cornmeal is better offered, hot or warm.
