Ingredients

2 cups Kidney Beans
1 large Carrots
2 chopped Spring Onions
4 sprigs Thyme
1 Diced Onion
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
2 chopped Red Pepper
4 Mashed Garlic Clove
1 tbs Allspice
2 Lbs Beef
2L Water
4 Potatoes
1 cup Plain Flour
1/4 cup Water
1 cup Coconut Milk

Instructions

Wash and rinse the dried kidney beans..

then wrap with liquid in a deep container.

Remember as they soak they will expand to at least triple the size they were originally so introduce a lot of liquid to the container.

Soak them overnight or for at least 2 hrs to make the crafting step go quicker.

I tossed out the liquid they were soaked in after it did the job.

Have your butcher cut the salted pigtail into 2 inch pieces as it will be very difficult to cut with an ordinary kitchen knife.

Wash, then place a deep pot with liquid and bring to a bubble.

make for 20 moments, then sieve + rinse and repeat (bubble again in liquid).

The goal is to make the pieces of pig tails yielding and to remove most of the table salt it was cured in.

Time to start the chowder.

Place everything in the pot (except the baking flour and potato), then wrap with liquid and place on a high flame to bring to a bubble.

As it comes to a bubble, skim off any scum/froth at the top and discard.

Reduce the burning up to a soft bubble and allow it to make for 1 hr and 15 mins..

basically until the beans are yielding and start falling apart.

It’s now time to introduce the potato (and Yams etc if you’re adding it) as well as the coconut dairy liquid and continue crafting for 15 moments.

Now is a good time to start making the basic flour base for the spinner dumplings.

incorporate the baking flour and liquid (introduce a pinch of table salt if you want) until you have a soft/seamless flour base.

allow it to rest for 5 moments, then pinch of a tablespoon at a time and roll between your hands to form a cigarette shape.

introduce them to the pot, swirl around well and continue crafting for another 15 moments on a rolling bubble.

You’ll notice that I didn’t introduce any table salt to the pot as the remaining table salt from the salted pigtails will be enough to properly taste this dish.

However you can palate and adjust accordingly.

Lets recap the timing part of things so you’re not confused.

make the base of the chowder for 1 hr and 15 minute or until yielding, then introduce the potatoes and make for 15 moments, then introduce the dumplings and make for a further 15 moments.

Keep in mind that this chowder will thicken quite a bit as it cools.

While this is not a old-school method to any one specific island, versions of this chowder (sometimes called stewed peas) can be found throughout the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa.

A hearty container of this chowder will surely give you the sleepies (some may call it ethnic fatigue).

You can certainly freeze the leftovers and burning up it up another day.
