CARIBBEAN CURRIED PEAS (LENTILS)



Caribbean Curried Peas (Lentils) image

This recipe can be eaten as a main or side dish. The key to developing the flavor (and not missing the meat) is caramelizing and developing deep browning of the onions and carrots. In the Caribbean, cooks call this 'burning' the onions.

Categories     Side Dish     Curry Side Dish Recipes

Time 1h15m

  • Increase heat to medium-heat and stir 1 can vegetable broth into the onion mixture. Scrape up any vegetables or curry powder stuck to the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

CARIBBEAN CURRIED PECANS



Caribbean Curried Pecans image

From Land o Lakes Favorite Appetizers # 41.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 c butter, melted
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
4 c pecan halves
1 1/2 c tropical fruit mix, dried

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350.
  • 2. In large bowl combine butter, curry powder and salt; add pecans.
  • 3. Spread on 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan.
  • 4. Bake, stirring occasionally, 10-12 minutes or until lightly toasted.
  • 5. Spread on cooling rack.
  • 6. Cool completely.
  • 7. Add tropical fruit mix; toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans before using them in the recipe enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek. You can also use a garam masala spice blend, which is a blend of spices that is commonly used in Indian cooking. It includes cumin, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and mace.
  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste: The amount of curry powder that you use in this recipe is a matter of personal preference. You can use more or less curry powder, depending on how spicy you like your food. If you're not sure how much curry powder to use, start with a small amount and then add more to taste.
  • Be careful not to burn the curry powder: When you're cooking the curry powder, be careful not to burn it. If you burn the curry powder, it will make the pecans taste bitter.
  • Let the pecans cool before storing them: Once the pecans are coated in the curry mixture, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help the curry mixture to set and will prevent the pecans from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Caribbean Curried Pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. The curry powder gives the pecans a unique and flavorful coating that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give Caribbean Curried Pecans a try!
