Күн бұрынTrinbagonian Coo Coo is a traditional dish from Trinidad and Tobago, made primarily from cornmeal and okra. It's a staple in Trinidadian cuisine and often served as a side dish, especially with fish & ground provisions.
Ingredients
Unsalted Butter - 2 tbsp
Onion - 1 cup (finely chopped)
Pimento - ¼ cup (finely chopped)
Carrot - ½ cup (grated)
Pumpkin - ½ cup (grated) ??
Ochro - 2 cups (thinly sliced)
Garlic - ¼ cup (finely chopped)
Salt - 1 tsp or to taste
Black Pepper - ½ tsp
Coconut Milk - 4 cups (32 fl oz)
Cornmeal - 2 cups
Chive - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Celery - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Method
Heat your medium to large-sized pot over medium to high heat.
Once heated, add coconut oil.
Once oil is heated, add your onion, pimento, carrots, pumpkin & ochro.
Cover & allow to cook until onions are translucent (about 3 minutes).
Add garlic, turmeric, salt & black pepper.
Stir in your coconut milk.
Cover, raise your heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and slowly whisk in your cornmeal.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, continue to stir until all your cornmeal is fully cooked.
Switch off the heat and stir in chive & celery.
Immediately transfer to a greased dish and allow to set and cool before slicing.
Enjoy!

Not traditional but I appreciate your version as it is a good way of getting people who wouldn't normally eat vegetables to eat it.

Was taught by my elders back in the day that ochroes are not properly cooked until the seeds turn pink

Traditional Trinidadian Coo Coo, Yellow Cornmeal, Coconut Mike and Okra? within the last 20 years or so Some People Started Adding Other Ingredient Like Carrots, Pumpkin and Green Seasoning to Their Coo Coo.

I love this so much, but I don't like the Ochroes in it, (but I do love Ochroes) what I do now to avoid the lumps, I mix water into the cornmeal to make a lil runny paste, then slowly add it in whilst I continue to stir, I also saw some 'popular' ppl doing this now, cause it's so much easier . Coconut milk can be added instead of water too, but I've never tried it.
