Hi CookwithShan family it's been a minute but I'mbso happy to be back with you again. Life keeps 'lifeing' lol but I'm alive and well. I wanted to present to some and introduce to others this palatable caribbean dish that is Cou- Cou( coo- coo). This dish is well known in the Caribbean and is so delicious amongst or many other Creolé dishes. We usually enjoy it with side dishes such as callaloo and stewed, steamed or fried fish, saltfish,stewed chicken, pork, beef, oxtail. It can also be paired with provision, dumplings, rice etc. Just like our many other Caribbean dishes, this mouth watering dish can is so versatile and enjoyed by almost everyone.
