Ok, so the girl from over the road who has come fresh over from Jamaica where she lived all her life gave me a recipe recently..but boy was it salty!!! It was (as she told me) 5 pound (in money) of mutton, chicken seasoning, meat seasoning, flavouring (which is monosodium glutomate to the uninformed), curry powder, scallion, onion, fresh thyme, a bit of garlic....then basically, she said wash the meat, use about a tablespoon each of the seasoning and then half a packet of the curry .... all of which the main ingredient is SALT..mix with all the other stuff, marinade meat overnight then cook in a little oil adding small amounts of water for about 2 hours! Meat was tender but way way to salty...but it smelled so goood!!The rice an peas was sticky and tasteless...cream coconut, kidney beans, thyme, scallion, whole bell pepper and brown rice...oh and a pinch of sugar...where did I go wrong?? Was it how I cooked it? HELP PLEASE
