Throughout the Caribbean, soups are a staple dish. Many soups are served at every single function, like this Caribbean Pigtails and Red Beans Soup.

Braised Pig’s Tail is sticky, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The pork tails are cooked long in a rich and flavorful soup on the stove. This Chinese style pigtail’s recipe is so easy to make and one of my favorite Asian food.

While salted pigtails may not sound appealing to many people, it's a key ingredient in many dishes we would consider 'comfort food' in the Caribbean. Only recently are we seeing prominent chefs and restaurants trying to find ways to use the entire animal after it's butchered. Normal thing in the Caribbean. If pork (especially pig tails) is not your thing, I've got versions of Pelau using chicken, beef and we've even played with a vegan option as well. Check the Recipe Index for those…

I almost didn't want to share this ribs recipe because this is one of the dishes that I make that keep my sons coming back home! These can be done with baby back or regular pork ribs. I have also made split chickens this way. The ribs are tender, moist and just slide off of the bone. I know that your family will love them just as much as my family does. I noticed that some are unable to find hickory smoked salt. You can use smoked paprika or just brush the ribs with liquid smoke before…

Jamaican style brown stew pig's tail, so yummy and delicious

This Caribbean Red Peas Soup is a staple when it comes to rich stews and cozy soups with West Indian flair.

Red peas soup is so incredibly delicious, easy to make, and chock-full of flavor, it’s truly unlike any other soup!
