  • Chef Jason teaches Kezzianne how to make 'Trinbagonian' Coo Coo:
    *Yield: 12 Portions
    INGREDIENTS
    2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
    2 Tbsp Onions, minced
    1 Tsp Garlic, minced
    4 Pimento Peppers, minced
    2 Tbsp Celery, minced
    1 Tsp Chadon Beni/Culantro, minced
    ½ Tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
    ¼ Cup Carrots, small diced
    8 Ochros/Okras, medium diced
    3 Cups Coconut Milk
    1 ½ Cups Water (Vegetable Stock Optional)
    ¼ Tsp Paprika (Optional)
    ¼ Tsp Chili Powder (Optional)
    1 ½ Cup Cornmeal
    3 Tbsp Butter
    1 ½ Tsp Salt
    ¾ Tsp Black Pepper
    METHOD
    1. Place a medium sauce pan over high heat.
    2. Add vegetable oil and when heated, add the onions, garlic and pimentos. Sauté for 1 ½ minutes.
    3. Add in the celery, chadon beni, thyme and carrots. Continue sautéing for an additional minute then add in the ochros and cook for 2 minutes more.
    4. Pour in the coconut milk, water, paprika and chili powders. Reduce heat to medium, stir and bring to a simmer.
    5. Once small bubbles break the surface of the milk, with a whisk in one hand and the bowl of cornmeal in the other, gently scatter the cornmeal onto the surface of the simmering milk in 3 portions and whisk vigorously to incorporate after each addition.
    6. If cornmeal is getting too thick, immediately shift pot off the fire onto the side and switch over to a rubber spatula to mix the coo coo into a smooth consistency.
    7. If still lumpy, add a ½ cup of warm water to the cornmeal and return to the heat for a little while as you work out the lumps to a porridge consistency.
    8. Mix in the salt and black pepper and pour coo coo into a lightly buttered 9 x 13 inch pyrex dish. Smoothen the top of the coo coo with the spatula for a clean finish and let set up for 15 - 20 minutes until firm to the touch.
    9. Once set, cut a portion and enjoy with Callaloo and Stewed Chicken for a great Trini meal.

    Amazing how all of us descendants of African slaves here in the Americas have something like this--grits in the American South, mais molu in Haiti, Cuban fufu', Dominican mangu, cornmeal porridge in Jamaica, and so on. Food is the one thing they couldn't take from us, and thank God for that! This looks yummy!

    Love the segments, you guys make me smile from the soul, I'm a 'Foodie', home Chef and have been cooking since age 9! We all do, don't know anyone in the vast and diverse family that cyah cook! I've been privileged to live and work all over the Caribbean and as such, in Antigua and Barbuda, legend has it that if a young lady can't tunn ah ball ah funji, well, she's not likely to get married, I'm Antigua it is delicious and served with steamed or stewed fish and other local traditional sides, a treat for the soul--much like looking at 'Foodie Nation'. I've learned much from island to Island and there are so many different techniques to prepare dishes that we have grown up with. Travel, Cook, Experiment, Eat, With Family And Close Friends!
    Happy Cooking Guys, You're The Best! Well done! Excellent Platform For All Foodies!
    Live! Love! Laugh! Cook! Eat! With a smile!
    Oh, I spell it like chef does, but with a hyphen: Chadon-Beni.

    Hi KezzieAnn and Chef Jason, thank you for teaching us to cook tasty dishes. You have taught me a different method of cooking - adding the seasonings separately, allowing each one to saute for a few minutes to release their flavors. I am excited to try this coo coo, it is soo colorful and looks delicious.

    Years ago I had a conversation with a Panamanian. He said he likes Coo Coo, I starting laughing historically. The reason I was laughing because as a little boy growing up on the Island of St. Croix my grandmother always asked me if I need to coo coo. That's when he went into details and explained what it's made of. So I said to him, we call it Fungi, everyone started laughing.

    No, no, no, in Barbados we don't call it Fungi that is criminal. Cou Cou and Flying fish is our national dish. Our Cou Cou is just Okra in the Cornmeal that is stirred and cooked until mellow. A Cou Cou stick is another impliment that you must have to get the lumps out. We grease a round shaped container with butter and unmould on to individual plates. It's not supposed to be dry, the Okra are what makes it smooth otherwise my Granny would not be happy.
