Menu ideas for the Caribbean
I live on one of the ABC's and all foods are imported. I need to cook in more (and eat out less) but need some basic recipes that are healthy, lower carb and can be cooked on one burner or a crock pot.
Chicken and basic veggies are readily available as is fish and meats.
I do a lot of soups with chicken, okra and veggies, al ot of pastas and stir fries. I need some creative juices going and would love some Chowhound. Thanks.

For one:
Stir fry one chicken breast, cubed
Add some sugar snap peas or diced asparagus and stir fry until al dente
Add 2 or 3 teaspoons of orange juice and 1/2 small garlic clove, crushed
Keep stirring
splash with balsamic vinegar
Add more butter
Reduce
Salt to taste
Serve with a side of salad greens with orange segments, diced green onion, a bit of feta cheese, and candied pecans - creamy balsamic dressing
Dessert: sliced oranges sprinkled with shreds of coconut and ginger cookies›1 Reply
