From Emeril Lagasse Emeril Live show, this has gotten great reviews! This is served at the Marley Cafe in Orlando, Florida. This is traditionally served with cucumber sauce and yucca fries(you can sub french fries). I have given the recipe for the sauce. Prep time includes marinating overnight. This is also popular in Florida. Ingredients:
1 onion, finely chopped |
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 hot pepper, finely ground (or 2 scotch bonnet peppers) |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
