Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup of coconut palm sugar (or raw cane sugar works too)

1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp of scotch bonnet or chilli flakes

3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 small onion (chopped)

1 tsp thyme (dried or fresh with stems removed)
1 tsp of Himalayan pink salt
1 tsp of black pepper
2 tbsp of olive oil (or coconut oil)

  • Proceed to saute the garlic and onion until soft and translucent.
  • Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and proceed to cook the chicken until it's sealed (turns white-ish in colour) This will take several minutes. If the chicken gives off an liquid, you will need to get rid of this before adding the syrup by increasing the heat and stirring until the water evaporates.
  • Pour the nutmeg syrup all over the chicken and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Reduce the flame to medium-low, cover the pan with lid and occasionally baste the chicken throughout the 20-25 minute cooking time.

NUTMEG ICE-CREAM (GRENADA)



Nutmeg Ice-Cream (Grenada) image

Known as the Spice Isle, Grenada produces one third of the world's nutmeg. DO NOT substitute powdered nutmeg in this recipe. Once it is ground, nutmeg soon loses the oils which give it flavour and taste so do yourself a 'flavour' and never use that pre-ground stuff again.
