Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken, cut up, skinned
1 large white onion, cut in chunks
2 celery stalks, cut in chunks
2 fresh limes
1 fresh hot pepper
1 Tablespoon whole allspice
1 small package baby carrots
4-5 bay leaves

Steps:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut up and skin removed 1 large onion cut in chunks, 2 celery stalks cut in chunks 1 fresh lime, squeeze juice and add the whole lime to the pot. Put chicken in Dutch Oven and Cover chicken with water and boil uncovered until tender for about 30 minutes. Add to the pot: 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks. 8 oz. pkg baby carrots, 1 Tbsp. whole allspice, 4-5 bay leaves. Cook 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are done. Serve with hot pepper sauce which is added to taste. She didn't tell me the proportions but she made a pepper sauce with just fresh lime juice squeezed and any type of fresh hot pepper chopped finely and added to the lime juice. She used a pepper called a "bird pepper" which they have on the island. She served it with "Johnney Cake" and Coconut Cake for dessert. I will also add the coconut cake recipe. She told me that they also eat the leftovers for breakfast.
