Bahamian Pumpkin, Corn & RiceBy Chef Raquel FoxFlavourful rice dishes are prevalent throughout the Islands of the Bahamas, it’s our celebrated African heritage. In the family islands, the ingredients added to the rice are farm to table, what we eat is usually what is grown. Pumpkin & Rice is what I call a Bahamian old school recipe that is only homemade and not usually found in restaurants. In this recipe, I’m adding freshly shucked corn kernels as corn & rice is another favourite rice dish.Stewed Lobster/Shrimp with Okra FungeeBy Chef Philman GeorgeThis is a dish that highlights the culture and abundance of Barbuda, Antigua's sister island. Make sure to simmer the stew slow and slow for a hearty meal that should be eaten with your hands for the best possible experience.Andros Crab & RiceBy Chef Raquel FoxThis is the most quintessential Bahamian dish, a rice so flavourful, “you’ll want to eat the spoon!” Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas (2,300 square miles), known as “The Land of Crabs.” It’s home of the annual crab festival and the birthplace of my grandmother, she made it best with the addition of coconut oil, earthy pigeon peas and salted beef.Pepper Soup Curry with Jasmine RiceBy FTThis warm and satisfying dish combines the savoury flavour of Nigerian pepper soup spices with the creamy taste of coconut milk for an innovative take on fusion cuisine.Molokhia with Green Lentil Stew and Turmeric Spiced RiceBy Chef Naza HasebenebiThis filling vegan dinner is Sudanese in origin but gets taken up a notch with the addition of Eritrean spices and techniques.
