What it is
The one-pot national dish: oil down — breadfruit, salt meat, chicken, dumplings and vegetables (callaloo, okra, carrots) simmered in coconut milk until the coconut oil 'downs' to the bottom and everything drinks it — Grenada's beloved cauldron. Ingredients: breadfruit, salt beef/pigtail, chicken, coconut milk, callaloo leaves, okra, carrots, green bananas, flour dumplings, turmeric, thyme, chiles. Recipe: 1) Brown the meats; layer vegetables and breadfruit. 2) Pour coconut milk over; add dumplings. 3) Simmer covered, undisturbed, until the liquid reduces and oil pools ('the oil is down'). 4) Serve in the pot's glory. Serve: at beach limes and family gatherings — cooking oil down is a social event. Flavor: coconut-deep, savoury, rich. History: oil down is the Afro-Grenadian one-pot genius — its name is its doneness test. See also: Callaloo Soup (Grenada), Nutmeg Ice Cream.
