Yes, I do! I will have to type it up so I will post it here later. :friday:

Pea soup and Dough
My wife's recipe.

1-lb salt beef (Soak overnight in vinegar water) (I use stew beef already cut up in chunks and I don't need to soak it.)
1 -lb Salt Pork diced.
2 - Cups Pigeon Peas
1 - Onion Chopped
1 - Tomato Chopped
1 - Green Pepper Chopped
1 - Celery Stalk Chopped
2 - TBLS Tomato Paste
1 - TSP Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste.

If using Salt Beef discard water. If using Stew Beef just put in pot. Cover with fresh water and boil until tender. (Discard water after cooking)

In separate, larger pot, boil peas with Salt Pork until peas are tender. Add vegetables, Thyme and cooked beef to pot. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add Salt and pepper. Add dumplings

Dumplings:
I Cup of Flour,
2 TSP Baking Powder
½ TSP Salt
½ cup milk or water.
Sift dry ingredients , Stir in milk/water until dough forms.
Use a wets TBLS to scoop out rounded spoonfuls into soup.
Cook uncovered for 10 minutes then cover and cook 10 more minutes.

When I was a kid, my mother used to cook "Brandy Bananas."
Bananas cut in half length ways, sprinkled with brown sugar, and a good shot of Brandy. Then put in the oven until the sugar melted.
We had an electric stove then (boy, were we dumb!) And every time she set out to cook them the power went off! Maybe the same "evil electric spirit" attacks you every time you try to post a Pea soup and Dough recipe! :what:

I had a party this weekend and invited some of my friends over, one fact about me, i hate sharing our foods with Americans, I find that they don't like to try new things and they don't appreciate fine foods. But I shared with them your wifes pease soup and dumplings and fried banana's for desert, it was of the chain. Everyone wanted the recipe,but you know we can't share that though. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it. Did your electricity go off when you cooked the Brandy Bananas! lol :eek: :) :) :)

When I posted the Brandy Bananas thing, it reminded me that I had not had them in years, and years and years! So I got some Bananas, brandy, sugar - put everything in the oven, there was a crash of thunder and the power went off for two hours! I guess the Brandy Bananas curse is still around! :eek:

Here is a little something that is easy to cook. You can make enough for yourself or for guests. It all depends how much you need. I call it Bahamian Salsa for Rice!

In a frying pan add equal parts - coarsely diced okra, onion, tomato and a tablespoon or so of oil. Fry until the okra is tender. Add garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Then add tomato paste until the ingredients are almost covered. (This is optional but I like to add a tablespoon or so of red wine at this point - to thin out the tomato paste!) Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer until everything is hot.

Spoon this over white rice! :tup:

Here is a recipe that I used when I was in College in the US. It is called "Cheater's Steamed Chicken." It is a great way of using up left over Kentucy fried chicken and getting a taste of Bahamian food! As we all know, Kentucy now a "Bahamian food!" :biggie: Here is a way to make it more so.

Ingredients:
Left over or just bought Kentucy Fried Chicken. 5 pieces
One large Onion
Thyme
Green Pepper
Garlic
Can of beer.
Cooking Oil.
Tomato paste.
Hot sauce.

In a large frying pan add one tablespoon of oil, the sliced onion, the sliced green pepper, the garlic and about a level teaspoon of thyme. (If you like thyme, add more.) When the vegetables are tender add tomato paste until the pan is about half full. Add the beer but only enough to thin out the paste a bit (drink the rest! :friday: ) Add a shot of hot sauce. Turn off the heat.

Put the Chicken on a plate and warm it up in the micro wave oven. How long this takes will depend on how cold the chicken is. You will be surprised how much grease comes out! Throw that grease out. If you don't have a micro wave an oven will do but it will take longer and don't use a plate!

Place the warmed up chicken in the frying pan and settle them into the sauce, spoon some over them. Bring the heat back up until things start to bubble. Turn the heat down low and cook for 30 minutes, turning the chicken once. Serve with rice.

Not as good as the real thing but it works! :chicken:

A P.S. for those foreigners that many not know what "serve with rice" means. When I was in the US rice was a side dish. A tablespoon or so was put on the plate. That ain't no rice! I spill that much. :p

Here is what a Bahamian means by a serving of rice. You take a big spoon and you fill the plate until it can't take anymore! Then you use the spoon to make a depression in the center of your rice mountain. It is in there that you add your chicken etc. Then you spoon sauce over it until it almost spills off the plate - now, that is a Bahamian serving of rice! :bouncy:

pity they dont do the same with the real food like chicken, they give yah one or two little dried up pieces ... :-(

helps if you have a stove, and also can find food that hasnt thawed out in all the power outages, not to mention food that isnt sprayed nightly with insecticide :shaky:
