Thank you for making your version of this dish, it looks absolutely divine. Love how people are still getting all upset and offended by your version and your take on a dish that is your own recipe. If they don't like it they can the pout about it or better yet make it themselves and get off your Channel. He legit said at the start that he wasn't making it a certain way and was making it his way. I appreciate tradition but cooking is about making things your own and making things even better. I really don't understand how people don't get that. I've learned so much from you and truly appreciate you for all that you do.
Totally agree! There is no one way to make a dish. I bet if 10 people made a pelau they would all taste different. It's about trying new things and adding variety to your table. Thank you Chris for sharing your creativity with us all.
@@simonemontoute6615 Exactly! Everyone has their own preferences and own tastes but that doesn't mean that one is more correct than the other. Happy new year to you! May it be a blessed, successful and a happy one!
Sorry viewers but there's nothing like Caribbean food!! The absolutely best in the world! Yuh see this dish Chef Chris making?? Daz happiness, satisfaction and a blend of deliciousness!! Daz my comfort food! Irie?? Irie!! 😃👍🏼😋🇹🇹
I’m Jamaican and we call ours run down we also have different kind of run down, and I’m going to make yours. Yum yum . We make ours with salt fish or salt mackerel.
I use smoked turkey for my oil down. Sometimes I get a nice chunk of bony lamb shoulder for the oil down. Sometimes I add sweet potatoes, yam and dasheeen like the Ghanaian mpotompoto.
I love your version of oil down, we call this metemgi, or metem, same difference. I’ve never cooked it with curry powder or pumpkin, but I just know it tastes absolutely fantastic. I’m a pescatarian; therefore I substitute dried, salted cod or fried fish for the chicken and salted meat. I live in N.Y. , will definitely try your version of this dish. Thank you so much “Uncle Chris” for sharing this recipe and all the others. Blessings to you and you family.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
In jamaica this is a meatless dish. Usually cooked on benjohnson`s day.(Thursday) using coconut milk and all available ground provision. lots of seasoning and curry or anatto for coloring.very tasty, I love ur version aswellChris.😋😋👏👍
Am a Grenadian and as you said it's your way of making it and that's cool💪❤🙏😌 no need for anyone to get vex one love .....good food and would love to taste that version
I like your Caribbean accent - full of joy and verve. I am also located in Canada (Mississauga), and our neighbour, a good friend of mine, is from the Caribbean. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago, and I still miss his joyous greeting and laughter. Caribbean cuisine is very nice. And Caribbean people are really fun loving nice people. BTW, I am originally from India.
Looks good and just what you need to warm up in the wintertime 😍 Uncle Chris always says this is my version so not sure how people want to get mad when it is not what they are used to. Great to put your own twist and flavors into the traditional dishes.
We call our variation of this dish Pakasa, plut plut or All in one in Jamaica. We don’t leave the dumplings out though. Nice to see the different recipes😍.
First of all Sir, this is our National dish Chris. Unless you're been under a rock, you would know that oil down is our pride and joy in Grenada... 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
No he decided he gonna keep disrespecting our national dish and when we talk we wrong. Nothing wrong with making your own thing but don’t include Grenada in it. He disgraced Grenadians around the world with his first attempt that failed miserably. This one is practically soup. Next he will make his version of General Tso’s chicken and say China doesn’t have the rights to it. I would love for him to make a video butchering ackee and saltfish then say Jamaicans don’t have the rights to it.
Grenada doesn't have "all rights" since I'm sure Africans and the home of breadfruit(Malyasia, New Guinea.etc. have BEEN making it so just using a different name.
@@dhq._nekieshatnt5649I’m Grenadian and even I know that almost all Caribbean dishes can be traced back to an African, Indian or European dish or a combination of both.
@@dhq._nekieshatnt5649 LMFAO.... yeah right... Malaysia, does not prepare anything close to Oil Down... Africa also did not prepare any type of turmeric dish with breadfruit... Oil down was in fact originally prepared in Grenada
Use a different recipe that’s specific to Grenada or else he’ll never forgive you. What Christ is making isn’t a Grenadian oil down it’s something else but not oil down. Let’s not redefine the meaning of words. Chris can call this something else but it’s not oil down.
Chris I follow your channel but I have to say we grenadaina 🇬🇩 don't make oil down that way but like u say everyone make oil down difference...but it's our national dish each Caribbean country has a national dish....
Chris i wouldn’t dream of making oil down any other way! i’ve made you recipe about 4 times already. I am back at the video again today because today will be my 5th!
My partner is from Fiji, i’m Grenadian and you are right they do make something veeerrry similar. coconut milk, callaloo ( they call it something else - rou rou i think ) and salted meat. the only thing they don’t really cook / add is dumpling.
I once made an oil down using crab. It was a curry crab oildown an older gentleman told me about it.....man everytime i make that it never have enough for 2nds in my house lol
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Toronto ✅✅ Love your sarcasm / humour 😎- I use Cassava - and use lobster 🦞 instead of crab - Agree - keep oil down basics. Improvise local ingredients 😋 😋😋 yes 👍 you do Need Michelin 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recognition I learn lot from you!!! Well done 👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳
No disrespect chris, Oil down is Grenada national dish and that what you are cooking is no oil down. Thanks for the soul recipe. Much love to all Greenz.
Wilgine Pierre - What is the name of the Hatian dish that’s similar to Grenadian Oil Down? In Guyana we have a dish called Metemgee which is basically ground provisions & meat stewed down in coconut milk! 💜🇬🇾💯
@@mikapooh3329 Put * haitian bouillon * in you tube you will find the Haitian dish that I know. But there’s probably an other one closest to your’s in other part of Haiti that I never taste. I use to eat the breadfruit mosly in fufu. Now I know so many things I could do with it but I’m not in Haiti. Anytime i go to Haiti I’ll try your’s but with more liquid.
@@wilginepierre661 Thanks for replying. I checked out the Hatian Bouillon videos. It seems like a soup w/ coconut milk as an ingredient. I’m specifically looking for dishes where the coconut milk is reduced down to an oil like Grenadian Oil Down, Jamaican Run Down, Guyanese Metemgee & Indonesian Rendang 😃 I’m sure they’re plenty more examples!
Hey chris I usually make my oil down with just salt fish and breadfrut but I love your version but without the pigtail [sorry I am muslim] ....awesome!!!!
Nice dish Chris, I have a question? I have some grated cassava in the freezer, its been there about 3 days but I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?
Hi Chris! I love your recipes and I follow everything you do and let me tell you it be bomb!!!! My husband is Trinidadian and I am Puerto Rican we cook with lots of flavor. However, I don’t eat any pork so, I wanted to know what is a good substitute for the salted pork? Thank you so much!
Hi Chris, fellow Canadian here sending love from Montreal! If I'm not able to get breadfruit, what else would make a good substitute in this dish? Also, if I can't get salted pigtail, could I get away with using some diced pancetta and rendering it down at the beginning to get out as much flavor as possible? Thanks for all the recipes, you've inspired me to learn Caribbean cooking and I'll be growing scotch bonnets and seasoning peppers in my garden this Summer. Cheers!

Nice I love this dish yummy, lots of flavor. thank you Chris
Hi Chris, this is perfect for this weather. Another awesome mouthwatering dish. Thanks for sharing, keep safer fo this 2021.
likewise. be safe yea
Grenada has all the rights to oil down just as Trinidad has the rights to roti😂😂😂

I actually like this version of an Oil Down better than the thicker traditional one. I like a little more of a brothy, saucy situation. Looks Amazing!
Looks delicious!
Aww I like ur way because the other recepies I saw, there no liquide in. I come from Haiti and we have something simular.

Salted beef, salted cod, I know of one lady who uses crab
Smoked turkey legs
I like how you didn't load it with too much food.
An easy way I freeze breadfruit is cut it in desire pieced boil it in some salt water for about 10 mins cool completely then freeze.
does it maintain it's texture after being frozen? I find it goes sandy
@@caribbeanpot to me it taste perfect n does maintain its texture but u have to boil it in salt water a little first
@@sweettrinilife2095 thanks for this tip will try it
Yommmy 😋😋😋, you’re making me salivating am in the uk and it’s cold I could demolish a bowl 🍲 right now 😂😂.
