While jerk chicken often gets the spotlight, the world of Caribbean food is vast and incredibly flavorful. At Wat's On Your Plate, we're passionate about sharing the full depth of our culinary heritage. We invite you to venture beyond the familiar and explore some of the lesser-known, yet equally delicious, dishes that are staples in our kitchen in New York, NY.
Beyond Jerk Chicken: Lesser-Known Caribbean Delicacies You Must Try
Tangy and Crisp Fried Escovitch
Imagine a perfectly fried whole fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, topped with a zesty, pickled vegetable medley. That’s fried escovitch. The tangy sauce of onions, carrots, and peppers cuts through the richness of the fish, creating a beautifully balanced and refreshing dish that is a true taste of the islands.
Rich and Hearty Curry Goat
Slow-cooked to perfection, our curry goat is a fall-off-the-bone tender dish packed with deep, aromatic spices. It's the kind of soulful, satisfying meal that warms you from the inside out. Served with rice, steamed cabbage, and sweet plantains, this is a cornerstone of authentic Jamaican cuisine and a must-try for any food lover.
The Comfort of Jamaican Curry Chicken
A beloved staple, Jamaican curry chicken is the ultimate comfort food. Our version features tender chicken simmered in a fragrant, golden curry sauce that’s both savory and subtly sweet. It’s a flavorful, comforting dish that pairs perfectly with rice, cabbage, and plantains, creating a meal that feels like a warm hug from our kitchen to your plate.
The Versatile and Delicious Roti
A roti is a soft, flaky flatbread that can be paired with a variety of delicious options, from savory vegetable or chicken curry to rich oxtail or shrimp. It's a handheld meal that’s both convenient and incredibly satisfying. The warm, pliable bread wrapped around a flavorful filling makes for a truly unique and delicious culinary experience.
