FESTIVAL



Festival image

According to Helen Willinsky, author of "Jerk From Jamaica: Barbecue Caribbean Style" (Ten Speed Press, 2007), festival is a relatively new entry into the Jamaican culinary canon, "but it is already a must." A cousin of cornbread and hush puppies, festival is a fluffy yet crisp cornmeal-based fritter that is often seasoned with nutmeg or vanilla, then shaped into "fingers" or long buns and fried. (To make them vegan, substitute an equal quantity of full-fat coconut milk or the whole milk.) A touch of nutmeg adds warmth, and salt balances and enhances the sweetness of the corn. Serve festival with jerk chicken, ribs or fish.

Categories     dinner, finger foods, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/170 grams yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 to 3/4 cup whole milk, evaporated milk or coconut milk
3 to 4 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a sheet tray with paper towels and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. With a wooden spoon or your hands, mix in just enough milk to create a soft dough, about the same texture of Play-Doh. (The amount you need will depend on the humidity of your kitchen, and the amount of moisture in your flour and cornmeal.)
  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat oil to 365 degrees. While oil heats, using a bench scraper or butter knife, divide dough into 10 pieces. Roll each between your hands or on your counter into cylinders about 3 to 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. (Avoid overworking the dough or the festival may be tough.)
  • Fry 4 or 5 festival at a time, flipping them after 1 minute, until golden brown on the outside, about 2 minutes total. (Oil temperature will lower once you add festival; they fry best around 330 to 340 degrees. If festival appear to be browning too quickly, lower your burner.) Using a wire spider or slotted spoon, remove festival from oil and transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet. Cut into one to ensure the inside is cooked all the way through; it should not look wet. If it is not fully cooked, cook each fritter 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Transfer to oven to keep warm. Fry remaining festival. Serve hot.
