Best 9 Gullah Caviar Recipes

GULLAH RED RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice until the water becomes slightly clear. (This removes the starch.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften and start to brown at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir rice into the tomato mixture and cook, uncovered, and stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Add just enough water to cover the rice (about 2 cups). Tightly cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes without uncovering the baking dish. Turn off the oven, remove the rice, fluff the rice, then cover and return to oven for 10 minutes more.

GULLAH GUMBO

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil and flour in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the roux is the color of peanut butter, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the celery, onion, bell pepper and tomatoes and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the gumbo file, House Seasoning, mace, garlic and bay leaves. Cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, seafood stock and 1 cup water, whisking until combined. Add the turkey wing.
• Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding water as needed, for 1 hour.
• Stir in the lima beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the gumbo is thickened, about 2 hours. Add the shrimp during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Remove the turkey wing. Chop the meat and return it to the gumbo. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the parsley and green onions. Serve with hot sauce.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

GULLAH RED RICE

Steps:

• Place bacon in a pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

• Pour tomato sauce and tomato paste into the same pot, along with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; add rice, sugar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring back to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer the rice mixture to a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until liquid has evaporated and rice is tender, about 25 minutes.

GULLAH FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make egg wash by beating eggs with milk in a bowl. Season chicken well with Gullah Luv Seasoning or salt and pepper mixture. Cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes depending on size of the chicken. Heat oil to 350 degree. Dip each piece in egg wash. Then coat well in flour or breader. Shake off excess. Drop pieces into oil. (Make sure that oil is enough to cover each piece). Drop thighs, then legs, then breasts and last the wings in one-minute intervals. Set timer for 15 minutes. Check thigh and breast for doneness by inserting skewer or similar sharp object. When done, place in drain pan or allow to drip on paper towel.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft, stirring frequently. Remove onions and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Coat beef cubes in spice mixture, and cook in onion pot until brown on all sides. Return the onions to the pot, and pour in tomato paste, water, garlic and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until meat is tender.

GULLAH FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• If frozen, thaw by allowing shrimp to thaw slowly in the bottom of the refrigerator ahead of time. Clean, peel and devein shrimp. Leave tails on. Rinse well. Sprinkle Gullah Luv Seasoning or Lemon Pepper over shrimp. Let sit covered for 10 minutes. Beat eggs to make wash. Dip each shrimp into the egg wash. Remove from egg wash and allow excess to drain off. Place into clean, dry Seafood Breader. (Or drop into paper or plastic bag filled with breader. Shake well.) Cover each piece well. Shake off excess batter. Drop into 350 degree oil. Allow to cook 2-3 minutes. (Do not overcook). Shrimp will become golden brown. Remove from oil. Allow to drain for one minute. Can be served with cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.

LOW COUNTRY GULLAH RICE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add celery, carrot, and pistachios; sauté 5 minutes or until tender.
• Add water and salt; bring to a boil.
• Add rice and thyme; return to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed.
• Let stand, covered, 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

LOWCOUNTRY OKRA SOUP

Steps:

• Set an 8-quart Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add oil. When oil shimmers, lay in turkey necks and sear until evenly golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Add 4 quarts water, smoked turkey, onion and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a heavy simmer, with the lid ajar to ensure the pot doesn't boil over. Check pot every 30 minutes to remove any scum that forms, and add water as needed to ensure that the meat is always submerged. Cook for about 3 hours or until all the meat is tender and broth is flavorful.
• While it's traditional to leave onion and bones in the soup (and suck meat off turkey neck as you eat), you can strain broth, remove onion and pick meat off bones at this point if desired, returning meat to broth. Either way, reduce broth to about 3 quarts, then stir in onion powder, paprika, cayenne and pepper, and season to taste with salt.
• Stir in tomatoes, then simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasoning for salt, then add okra, reduce heat to low and cook until okra is just tender, not mushy, and still has bite to it, no more than 10 minutes. The okra will naturally thicken the broth as it cooks.
• Stir in corn and beans, cook for another minute or 2, then serve immediately with rice, cornbread and hot sauce. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Return to a boil for 3 minutes before serving.
