It is so amazing how similar and different this dish is throughout the Caribbean. I know as a Bajan the name and method will throw people off. Other islands like Anguila and Virgin Islands this is called fungi. This method looks easier and you don't' need a cou-cou stick like you do in the Bajan version. Now I wish I had access to flying fish or salt fish gravy, lard I am getting hungry.

One good thing that I got from your recipe that I haven't seen or heard of is soaking the corn meal and I think it's BRILLIANT! I will definitely give it a try tomorrow 😃

I hope this helps us appreciate the fact that we are one people in the Caribbean. Different names and versions of the same food . In Grenada they usually use the courser ground corn as well but I've never seen the okra or carrots added just coconut milk and aromatics. Delicious dish with some callaloo and stewed fish or chicken with plenty gravy 👌🏽😀🇬🇩

Thanks for sharing. I have seen it made in Kenya and it is called ugali but I recalled it being prepared with lots of vegetables, butter and coconut milk when I was young. It is a savory dish. In Kenya it is made of just corn flour and water. Today I decided to do a search "recipe for cooking coo coo Trinidad style" and I found your recipe. It was just as I recall seeing my mother and grand-mother doing. Thanks for sharing Natasha. You nailed it. 👍👍

U don’t hv to soak the corn meal. I love the different methods. Sauté the vegetables which. I love /. Then the coconut milk. /. The old fashioned way is bringing all vegetables to a boil eliminating the butter fats. Using a fork while adding the cornmeal slowly would avoid lumping off the dough

@patbaptiste9510 9 ай бұрын

Soak in water? Are you kidding me? I absolutely *LOVED* the result - just the way it looked alone and I ca bet it taste great too, so I'm about to try it right now because I had already seasoned 4 eight inch long Red Snapper last night with the intention of making Jamaican Escovitch but wasn't sure what to make with it- then Coo Coo came to mind, so Coo Coo it will be. Wish me luck.

You can do that in butter the following day. I do that all the time! Put your left-over Coo-coo in the fridge. Next day, use sufficient butter to warm it up and you can fry it up in small sliced batches for better management when turning! ❤😊😅 I love 💘 to slice some pieces thin to get it crispy! Delish!!! 😋 😋😋

I definitely must try this. 2 questions about the okras: 1. Is it a must to use the okras? 2 Can I use frozen okras? I'm asking about frozen because once it's thawed out, the texture of the okra would not be the same as if you're using freshly cut okra.

@saryarohit2925 2 ай бұрын

Interesting questions: 1. It's not a must but it's traditional. It is just a way to incorporate vegetables into one's diet. 2. Fresh is always best. Not sure how thawed okra will combine in this recipe. Maybe you have to give it a chop before you add it. Be careful with the slimy texture, though. Some people don't like the okra and omit it. Maybe you can substitute another vegetable? Mushrooms? Whole kernel corn? More carrots and bell peppers to compensate? Just a few ideas...
