Caribbean Recipes

I have to honestly say that only started eating eggplant just over a year ago. My girlfriend at the time introduced to it, and ever since I’ve been really be craving eggplant and looked forward to trying it new ways. I love this version on stuffed eggplant as much as I did spicy grilled eggplant with green pepper and parley- the dish that started my eggplant craze. Try this recipe; it’s quick and simple vegetarian meal for those always on the go.

It’s such a blessing it is to have friends, and parents of friends, who cook. I had this dish at my best friend mom’s house and begged his mother for the recipe, which, thankfully, she gave me.

In Caribbean, everyone does something a bit different when preparing curried goat – so if you wish you can add some raisins to the mix, and marinated the lamb in a curry spice mixture.
