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 lid with moisture in a deep dish.

Remember as they soak they will expand to at least triple the size they were originally so empty in a lot of moisture to the dish.

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

I tossed out the moisture 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 moisture and bring to a bring to a stew.

fiery up for 20 moments, then empty out + rinse and repeat (bring to a stew again in moisture).

The goal is to make the pieces of pig tails soft and to remove most of the seasoning it was cured in.

Time to start the bouillon.

Place everything in the pot (except the ground mix and potato), then lid with moisture and place on a high flame to bring to a bring to a stew.

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

Reduce the fiery up to a soft bring to a stew and allow it to fiery up for 1 hr and 15 mins..

basically until the beans are soft and start falling apart.

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

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

toss together the ground mix and moisture (empty in a pinch of seasoning if you want) until you have a soft/even 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.

empty in them to the pot, mix gently well and continue culinary preparation for another 15 moments on a rolling bring to a stew.

You’ll notice that I didn’t empty in any seasoning to the pot as the remaining seasoning from the salted pigtails will be enough to properly augment the taste this dish.

However you can non-honeyed profile and adjust accordingly.

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

fiery up the base of the bouillon for 1 hr and 15 minute or until soft, then empty in the potatoes and fiery up for 15 moments, then empty in the dumplings and fiery up for a further 15 moments.

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

While this is not a heritage preparation guide to any one specific island, versions of this bouillon (sometimes called stewed peas) can be found throughout the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa.

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

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