It’s a New Year, and so to celebrate a fresh start, more raw and steamed veggies are on the daily menu. As a former vegan for 5 years, this is kinda refreshing to do in this new season where I give health a front row seat.
We’ll start the cooking journey for 2018 nice n’ light, with an easy-to-make dish that’s nutritious and delicious.

Caribbean “cook-up”
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 1 chunk de-boned bonito (or other) fish
- 2 diced christophenes (‘cho-cho’)
- 2 english potatoes
- 1/3 sliced onion
- A pinch of oregano & basil
- 1 diced tomato
- Pinch of salt & black pepper
- A dash of Bajan pepper sauce
In a small pot, set 1 and 1/2 cups of water to boil.
When the bubbles appear, add ingredients (except fish and pepper). After 7 minutes, add fish and let everything stew-down or “cook-up” until potatoes are medium-to-soft. Add sprinkle and splash of both peppers. Remove from heat, and set on a plate.
Enjoy!
