ORANGE COLADA FROM THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

Rum combined with pineapple,orange juice and pina colada mix takes you back to the salty seas of the caribbean. If Cruzan orange rum is not in your budget (like mine), use dark rum with 1 tsp. orange zest. A bit sweet, so some of us would like to add another 2 oz. of rum, your call. Entered into my recipe book for ZWT5.

FISH AND FUNGI VIRGIN ISLANDS STYLE

Fish and Fungi Virgin Islands Style image

Fish and Fungi (foon-ji) is considered to be the unofficial dish of the US Virgin Islands. This recipe dates back to the days of slavery. Danish Law (owners of the Virgin Islands) allowed each slave six quarts of Indian meal (cornmeal) and six salt herring per week. Occasionally, there were other foods thrown into the ration, like yam and other vegetables, but the mainstay of cornmeal and fish led the African women to the creative result of fish and fungi. I had this wonderful dish while working at Caneel Bay Resort, St. John, USVI several winters ago.

Ingredients

4 1/2 lbs fish, scaled and gutted
2 medium onions, chopped
1 tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice or 3 tablespoons lime juice
2 cups water
2 teaspoons butter
1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra
2 1/2 cups boiling water

Steps:

Place fish with all ingredients into a saucepan and cook gently until fish is cooked, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Place frozen okra in boiling water. Cook until just barely tender.
In a medium size saucepan, bring 2½ cups water to a boil.
To make fungi that is free of lumps, mix about ¼ cup of the cornmeal with ¾ cup water in a separate small bowl. Then, add this mixture back into the larger pot of boiling water.
Let cornmeal cook for about a minute, then add the rest of the cornmeal into the pan in a slow steady stream, while stirring constantly.

Tips:

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use frozen or canned orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
Use light or dark rum, depending on your preference. If you don't have rum, you can use another type of alcohol, such as vodka or gin.
Be careful not to over-blend the drink. If you blend it for too long, it will become too icy and slushy.
Serve the drink immediately, garnished with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

The Orange Colada is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the Orange Colada is sure to be a hit.
