Thats what Shoney's and Waffle house do... reminds me of when i was a young army wife, and my kids were small... i didnt have any "dinner food", as i used to call it... I called my mom crying and she said, well do you have eggs, bacon, or something they would eat for breakfast... and i say yes.... long story short i cooked that and wa -la-dinner... So i had to learn you dont have to have what is traditional... Long as you eat

I figure that since my 5 yr old LOVES pancakes that he'll eat a good dinner. He can be VERY picky sometimes
and it's something different than meat, potoatos, veg, or basically "dinner" foods.
I feel like I cook the same thing every week. That's why I like thiS thread it's giving me different ideas

Thank you everyone!!!

Quote KeepingItReal: Provision (West Indian Term)

Meaning - boil dumplings, green bananas, yellow yam, plantin and callalou and salt fish (some may call the calalou - spinach; looks the same but it is different and the salt fish is "cod fish")

Yeah mon irie!
Hey, KIR, is this kind of like a stew all mixed together and then boiled? Is the fish on the side or what? Sounds like something I would like 'cause everything you listed I like. Do you fry the plantin (isn't that like a hard banana?).


Hi Eppy, actually it's not a stew.

You make your dumplings, flour salt and sometimes we add some cornmeal, place them in a large pot of boiling water, then we add the yams and green bananas (leave the skin on), the plantains are added last because the cook faster.

Plantains are the larger size to bananas you can buy them greeen, in which you would peel, cut them in 1/2 and then cut the lenghwise in half, fry until golden, then put them on a tray with paper towel (to soak up the excess greese) and add a bit of salt to them.

Now if they are ripe, you can cut them up however you want and fry or boil them.

The "salt fish" (cod fish) - is boiled to take off some fo the salt and then it is cooked with the callalou.

We saute some green onion, regular onions, garlic, chopped up tomatoes in a pan with some vegetable oil (or water ever oil you prefer), add some seasoning salt, then add the callalou (chopped up) and salt fish (which is allso chopped up or you just pick it appart and take out the bones - we like the boneless salt fish as it is less work(no bones).

This is all cooked together, which only takes about 15 mins if that cause you don't want to over cook the vegetables.

The dumplings, etc which is boiling in a separate pot usually only takes about 1/2.

Then you just scoop out what you want and searve side by side on the same plate.

Sometimes we cook curry chicken, stew chicken, liver, mackeral to eat with the Provision (which is the dumplings, yams, plantain, etc.)
Enjoy!

Enjoy Sunny!

Provision is basically dumplings and any vegatable that you can boil. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc....

You can even add Okra as a substatute to the Callalou.
