Make some Jamaican yucca flatbreads, aka bammies, just like they do at the famous resorts. You only need a few ingredients for this golden-fried staple, great with coffee for breakfast or for dinner alongside some grilled fish.
3 cups cassava (yucca), peeled and grated
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
vegetable oil
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cassava and salt. Add the water, a little at a time, until a dough forms. Divide dough into 6 pieces. With your hands, flatten each piece until it is about 6-inches in diameter.
Grease a medium skillet with a coating of vegetable oil and put over medium heat. Place one piece of dough in the skillet. When the bammie's edge starts to pull away from the side of the pan, after about 5 minutes, flatten the dough again with a spatula and turn over. Cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown
Repeat with the remaining five pieces of dough, adding more oil to the skillet when needed.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
