Red pepper Beef mince noodles

Pantry Dinner

I don’t always make quick and easy recipes; I think there is beauty in taking the time to slowly develop flavors. But other times, you need dinner in 30 minutes or less, and that’s fine too. You should keep this recipe saved for the days when the ingredients are low. I went through my freezer, pantry and refrigerator grabbed a couple ingredients, and here we all are.

Callaloo okra and pumpkin stuffed foil roast fish

"Christmas is coming"

If you’re thinking how is a whole fish even an option for Christmas dinner? then you have never had a Jamaican Christmas dinner. Fried escovitch fish is always an available item and in our family, we don’t do filets. We serve whole fish.  Usually, it’s the only seafood item on the table for anyone who doesn’t eat other animal protein, on second thought maybe we will have a shrimp curry in addition. But let us say you are that one guest who is pescatarian, then chances are the whole fish would be the highlight on your plate. With that said, I decided to dedicate this fish to that person who is coming to Christmas dinner, who may be tired of the escovitch fish (as if that’s even possible).
