Stush Gyal Dukunu

Hey World! :)

Just wanted to show you some Dukunu i made the other day. Some folks from church laughed at me so hard when i shared with them, that i make Dukunu in foil ^_^. Maybe one day i'll try the banana leaf version but for now 'just pass mi ma foil paper'. This really should be a recipe everyone knows, especially those among us having it hard to provide for their children because it can really "stop gap" (fill you up when you are hungry). You know what, I think i'll post the recipe soon.

Dukunu

(made in foil, instead of the traditional banana leaf... still just as yummy!)

Blue Draws

Hey World!

“[T]he Ghanaian “kenkey” is probably the origin of the Barbadian word, conkie for the above traditional food. In Ghana, Kenkey refers to similarly prepared corn meal dishes.”

In Jamaica, this is a popular traditional food  known as Dukunu aka  Blue Draws (Blue Drawer's) aka Tie-A-Leaf !  Above it is pictured wrapped in banana leaf but when i'm making it at home, i use aluminium foil. The main ingredient is normally cornmeal, sweet potato or cassava but yam may also be used.
