#GAILcookup shares a recipe for pepperpot, one of Guyana's national dishes, traditionally served during Christmas. We chose a healthier alternative, turkey wings! Here is the step-by-step recipe:
Ingredients:
6 lbs turkey wings and drumstick (raw - uncooked)
8 cinnamon sticks
8 wiri pepper
24 cloves
1 star anise
1/2 cup casserip
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup browning
1/4 cup molasses
Preparation:
1. Cut each turkey wing into 2 pieces.
2. Wash turkey wings with vinegar and drain water.
3. Place turkey wings in large pot under medium heat.
4. Pan fry turkey wings under medium heat in covered pot for 8-10 minutes and drain or discard rank water in the sink.
5. For a second time, pan fry turkey wings under medium heat in covered pot for 8-10 minutes and drain or discard rank water in the sink.
6. Return turkey wings to pot and add hot water to cover turkey meat.
7. When turkey meat is half cooked, meaning can stick fork into meat and remove fork, then add cinnamon sticks, pepper, cloves, star anise, casserip, brown sugar, browning and molasses.
8. Give turkey meat and seasonings a good stir to incorporate all ingredients. Add enough water to cover meat.
9. Boil until meat is cooked, approximately 45-60 minutes. Best way to know is to give it a taste. When tasting, see if need more sugar, salt or casserip. Every person has a different preference as to how pepperpot should taste, so adjust seasonings to your liking.
10. Every 24 hours, heat the turkey pepperpot on low heat for 10 minutes. After 48 hours, enjoy your turkey pepperpot with some bread.
11. As long as you have turkey pepperpot on stove, continue to heat for 10 minutes on low everyday.
