Foil roast curry conch with pumpkin and okra

"Something Smells Fishy"

This was a simple and easy dish. I only had to get one pot dirty, and in all fairness if I didn’t use any curry powder, I wouldn’t have made a mess of any pots at all. Seasoned conch, tossed with pumpkin, okra and spices wrapped in foil and cooked until tender.

Ital Pumpkin Rasta Pasta

Pumpkin Everythang!

What is rasta pasta? The general consensus is that it’s any pasta dish which utilizes the colors of the Rastafarian flag, yellow , red and green. I notice when you google rasta pasta, the results are filled with a whole bunch of pasta recipes which contain meat. I have to admit I found it quite amusing, since the true Rastafari is vegan. Some die hearted ones don’t even use heat to cook their food, let alone top their pasta with grilled chicken. So I decided I would stick to what I’m sure is the origin and make a vegan, Rasta pasta.

Crispy fried okra

M...eat..less

I never really considered making Crispy fried okra before.  Last week my Grand Uncle gave us some okra from his garden. They were very large beautiful okra’s, however they sat in our refrigerator for a few days because no one likes okra. We tolerate it in steamed fish, but even then we hardly ever include it because of the slime. My mother began dropping little hints about fried okra. I was hesitant to try this recipe but in truth, I needed an extra recipe for this month. When she began to really pressure into making it and then even threatening to make it herself, I easily caved.  It’s quite yummy, still a little slimy but not bad at all and this is coming from a person who hates okra.
