My mother showed me how to make ducana before she passed away... one day I'll do it, and hopefully I'll remember how, but I definitely prefer to use the grape leaves, or I remember using banana leaves tied with string... it's more tender as you said.
By the way, the young lady has such a lovely smile... very beautiful!😍
My grandfather was from antigua so I am cooking ducana and salt fish today nice food that make are we strong
I fell in love with Ducana when I visited Antigua about 5 years ago. I ate it like almost every day.
Maria Njuguna its pretty awesome we love it too!
Thank you for sharing it looks yummy ❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see you make salt fish and coconut dumpling.
Shana James- Suckrajh thanks for watching and for your condolences. Coconut dumplings are one of our favorites. We’ll add it to the list.
Just seeing this for the first time. Great job Carla.
Tying with the string is a skill the older folks perfected
I am coming home I can't wait.....
From Miss Davis school, to Nelson's Dockyard, to Country Pond, to MIchael's Village. Fair Anigua, I salute thee, my beginning. Also Mr. Benjamin's Store. Many years ago.
Awesome
My husband visited Antigua about 30 years ago for a youth camp. Hey always talks about Ducana. That brought me to your channel looking for the recipe 😄😄. I will be making this soon.🇧🇧🇧🇧
Thanks let us know how it turns out
When you go looking for a video on ducana and you come across your cousins! Brilliant. Sorry to hear about your mother. Marilyn xxx
MissLexK Hey Marilyn! Yea we’ve been on RUclips for a year or so now. I hope the video was helpful.
@@thebenjaminsisters8881 Yes, it was. Thank you. X
In Montserrat it's done in Banana leaves. Don't even mention the word YAMS, it's Sweet Potato. Those people refuse to learn the difference and we who know different should not encourage them. A yam and a sweet potato are 2 different things.
Bonita Weekes true ! 😂 sweet potatoes in the states is orange I didn’t want these people making orange ducana. We won’t be blamed for that. Lol
Banana leaves were what my Antiguan grandmother also used.
In American states other than New York, you can get our sweet potatoes at Whole Foods. They call it Japanese sweet potatoes.
My family is Antiguan and we use banana leaves
We cooked it wrapped in both sea grapes leaves and banana leaves here in Antigua to. I prefer the banana leaves.
Benjamin is also my families name on my mothers side, from English Harbour.
INSTANTLY subscribed Queen. ❤️💙🇦🇬💛🖤
As a fellow Benjamin I love Antigua and love me some ducuna and fungee!
It’s the best.
My condolences guys....as usual very good content Yummm my daughter and I had so much fun watching this lol now I have to make it for her.
Roann Eusebe Lawrence Thank you 😊 we are so happy you enjoyed this one. Let us know how your ducana comes out. 😉
I Nver made it on my own but I shop at this international store and finally found the ingredients , good recipe
mzunique22 oh that’s great!
I’m in dirty Bronx Ny so I can’t find ingredients. All the Caribbean store is real dirty smh. Not like back home for me.
@@SpadesWinner You can't be a winner. You're ungrateful . Since it's s o dirty how much have you contributed to its dirty b ess? And why are you still in the Bronx? Why not move there's Manhattan. What's the matter trick beer pocket and champagne taste? Dunce tek yuh time
Im boiling mines right now for tmr sending live from🇦🇬

Hi very nice content you know what I would like to see is local farmers maybe a vlog on your way to buy local ingredients and distributors in half Antiguan but when I come home I only shop in malls I want to get to know Antigua local style a lil more my condolences. I lost my great grand during this covid couldnt even travel and airline bankrupt no idea how ill travel from Guadeloupe to Antigua so it really touch my heart to hear your accent and the dishes 😻
Thats a good idea!!!.
I'm sorry to hear about your lost.
This was lovely ! My family is Antiguan 💕 - can you do a video on making Salt Fish and Antiguan Soup ?
Shanese I. Thank you 😊. Awesome request!
@@thebenjaminsisters8881
great to see a video of my Antigua people yes Carla mommy Mona taught you well
Awesome..Tfs..Houston Texas
The traditional rapping for ducana is banana leaves. If you can't get the banana leaves, we use grape leaves. I'm from the old school, thanks for sharing our coulture.❤😂
Great job.am going to try it👍
Thanks
Please do a video making the chop chop....
I’m hungry now
Lovely video...now u should try doing Fungee ...saw someone trying to do it and it was a total failure.
channell425 thanks for the feedback. That’s an awesome idea!
That looks really good,I don’t have any clue how to make ducanas but my sister Stacy know how to make them.👍🏾
Great job!!
You can also use wax paper with the foil paper as substitute for the grape leaves or banana leaves
Same family.. 🇬🇭Dokunu
Can you plz show how to prépare cactus ? I would like to try it. When I was back home in small island, I used to put cactus in water and drink it
Once the prickles is removed they are cut in Julian and put to boil in regular temperature water until cook , strain the water from it and sprinkle black pepper over them
Vincention rap it in banana leaves and then tie it❤
My grandma used to wrap in banana leaf. I can't find those up here though.
Use foil paper
Or try grape leaves, you can get that at whole food stores I imagine.
This dish looks lovely and brings back memories of my younger days. However I remember this dish with carrot and sweet milk, is this a variation on dish ?
💐💐💖💖
The beauty about cooking is that you can add or substitute for what you prefer
Is ducana is the same as what Anguilla ppl make as concki dumplin ?
Awesome! didn't know you also can wrap it in grape leaves. My Antiguan friend has brought me ducana made in banana leaves.
rootsnlivity Cooking them in grape leaves is very popular/ traditional.
I was about to ask if it can be done in fig leaves
@@chrisandrews6456 Yes!
Good recipe however music is annoyingly loud
Back ground music too loud,it's drowning out the instructions
Grape leaf or banana leaf, same mixture but different wraps
True
Hi. Do you know how to make Maw? Could you share that with me please?
No we know but cooking is an adventure so we are willing to try it
No we don’t but cooking is an adventure so we are willing to try
@@thebenjaminsisters8881 Keeping my fingers crossed for your vid on this dish. Thanks for responding.
This is misleading. Only Antigua makes ducana, and it's made in fig or banana, or grape leaves. Never heard of Montserrat doing ducana, even by another name. It's like in Antigua it's cow heel soup, but Jamaica it's bull foot. In Antigua is fungi, but in Barbados, it's called coocoo. Ducana is Antigua only.
Go do your research
@@horlicks3920 how much sugar? want to make this for our friends from Antigua - mahalo/thanks - Dahmia
Sorry. Jamaicans call this blue draws. We Antiguans are not the only one. Let’s not act like Jamaicans and put Arwee name pun everyting. All Caribbean make it with slight variations.
