What an absolute African-Caribbean feast 😍🌍🇯🇲 What would you give this plate a rating out of 10? In our opinion not many things can beat it. A super cheesyyyyy Mac and cheese, slow cooked short rib, jollof rice, mango salsa and dumplings were all a match made in heaven! Ingredients: For the Mac and Cheese: 4 tbsp butter 4 tbsp plain flour 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 3 cups of milk 2 cups of cheese (I chose cheddar and Red Leicester) 1 cup of mozzarella 300g Mac and cheese (cooked until al dente) 1. Make a roux with the butter and flour, cook on a medium low heat until the rawness is removed 2. Add in the spices for 30 seconds to temper then slowly add in the milk 3. Add in all the cheese and combine until the cheese has melted 4. Then go in with the pasta, place into a baking dish, top with more cheese and bake until golden brown For the short rib: 3 spring onions 1 red onion 5 garlic cloves Knob of ginger 2 scotch bonnet 1 tsp browning 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp salt Juice of one lime 2 tbsp white vinegar 4 short ribs 1 tbsp tomato paste 2 cups beef stock 1 red and white onion 1 scotch bonnet 1. Marinate the ribs in the jerk marinade for at least 3 hours 2. Sear on both sides in a saucepan 3. Add in tomato paste and rest of the jerk marinade, cook out for 3 minutes 4. Add in the stock, onions, scotch bonnet and bay leaf 5. Cook on a medium heat until very tender (around 3 hours) For the dumplings: 2 cups self rising flour 1 tsp salt Hot water (gradually add in until desired texture) #macandcheese#jerk#jollof#cookingtok#caribbeantiktok
