2 ears of corn, sliced

0.6 oz. package of chicken bouillon powder

2 teaspoon vegetable oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped

1.  Place a large stock pot over medium heat and add oil.  Allow the pan an oil to heat up then add chicken thighs to the pan.  Allow the chicken to brown on each side for 8 to 10 minutes.

2.  Add 6 cups of water and all the other ingredients to the pot, then stir.  Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to  medium low.  Cover the pot and allow it to simmer for about one and half hours.

3.  About 15 minutes before finishing, prepare and add dough for boiled dumplings.  Serve hot.

Ingredients:

3 cups kidney beans, soaked over night or canned

2 lbs beef round, cut into chunks

2 onions, chopped

2 green onions (scallions), chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded & chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 lb potatoes, chopped

1/2 lb yellow yams, cut into large chunks

1/2 cup coconut milk

Spinners (mini dumplings)

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cornmeal

1.  In a large stock pot combine 6 1/2 cups water, the beef, and kidney beans along with either the water they were soaked in or the liquid from the cans.  Cook on medium heat for an hour.

2.  To prepare spinners, combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl.  Gradually add about half a cup of cold water a splash at a time while mixing, until a firm dough is formed.  Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface.  Break off small pieces and roll them in your hands to form little tapered logs.

3.  Add the spinners to the pot along with all of the remaining ingredients and let simmer on medium low for another hour.  Serve hot with a slice of hard dough bread.

18 oz. can of callaloo or 1 lb fresh callaloo washed & chopped fine

2.  Reduce the heat to simmer.  If using canned callaloo, add it here.  Add the whole crushed scallion into the pot, along with all of the remaining ingredients and stir together.  Simmer for 30 minutes, adding water if it starts to become too thick.  Serve hot.
