I have had "Oil Down" before when some University students from Grenada came to Jamaica one summer, and we had a nice send off when they were returning home, it was so delicious. I loved it. I have never seen it cooked before, but I hope to make it in the future. In that same send off, the Trinidadian students cooked 'Pelau', which was also very delicious. That summer school was the best ever! We had so much fun, eating different meals from the Caribbean, and dancing to different Caribbean music etc. It was a blast! Love my Caribbean brothers and sisters, the culture, the music and the food.
My Grenadian friends told me about this but I have never seen or tried it. It looks delicious and hope to try it soon. Sending positive vibrations from Jamaica.
Tell Uncle Leon he is tops at the oil down. We just didn't know about his cooking skills....I am a neighbor; so happy to have found out. Look out for me visiting the family soon.....
Hi Nezzle! I came across your vlog couple months ago after watching a similar Jamaican vlog. I am Jamaican but love your island. My hubby lived and worked there for a few years so I was able to spend some time there and had oil down on couple occasions. I call it my second home. Love your vlog and your energy, I even introduced it to my daughters. Wish you all the best. 😊👍👍
Hello I visted a community called Effort in Clarendon Jamaica many years ago. They cooked yam and other ground provisions in a huge pot and it was flavoured with corned pork and coconut milk. I guess that was the Jamaican version of the Grenadian Oil Down. I cant remember what they called it but it was tasty. I remember meeting a Grenadian friend on mission to Haiti. She called Oil Down a work of art. I would definitly agree with all that went into the pot. Keep our culture alive through food.
There’s nothing quite like oil down. It is indeed a work of art. Many islands throughout the Caribbean have similar dishes, but none are quite the same. In fact, even in Grenada many people do it a bit differently. Nonetheless it’s a magnificent dish.
My favorite things to eat my grandfather came from Grenada, and yes the last time I made oil down I even added some corn 🌽 and it was delish. TFS this wonderful Recipe 🇹🇹 Creators TH-camrs. I'm new here and definitely connected.
Uncle Leon is the bomb!! He could be the next top chef! Encourage him to do more cooking videos and watch your ratings go up.lol🤠we all love food. Never heard of an oil down but I love it, looks healthy and delicious! Great video!
He is!! The man can cook! I’ve never eaten anything from him I didn’t like. Getting him on camera to make it took about a year of begging though lol so it might be awhile till his next cooking appearance. But who knows, maybe he’ll see these comments and change his mind.
Yes it’s a bit different to run down. I’d like to try run down one day. This pot had a lot of ingredients but everything came together really well and it tasted great!
You guys oil down is totally different to ours in Trinidad.Basically we just put coconut milk,pumpkin,breadfruit of course,dumplings and callaloo bush sometimes,salt beef or pigtail and hot peppers to taste.You guys put wayyy plenty meats.This is new to me with the saffron powder being put into it.I would realllyyyy love to taste it.Oh,BTW tell uncle next time do not waste the breadfruit, maybe I could have gotten a plate.Lol
Lol yes we told him he was wasting it so he started cutting off less of it. Our oil down is very different to what trinis call oil down so you should definitely give it a try. It’s really tasty.
I'm from Trinidad and i always add small pieces of corn in my oil down. But my BF from Grenada has promise as soon as boarders open.im heading there for their oil down
Many people in Trinidad make it exactly like this since many Trinis have had Grenadian and Vincey ancestors. My parents make it exactly like this, I like mine with chicken, pigtail, crab and a little salted mackerel and corn…. Yummy
My cousin in law made a vegan version for me 1990 when I visited Grenada, breadfruit, provisions, whole ochroes, dasheen bush, coconut milk, it was delicious.
I'm from Jamaica, but I've never seen or heard of that dish. It looks fantastic! Would love to try it, don't like Turkey though. Uncle Leon is the Chef!👍👏 nice. 👏👏
Huuuuummmmmmm! It makes me salivate. I am hungry..... i tried to make but fail, now i will follow your receipe. Thank you for showing this special dish of Grenada, very authentic!.
OK, so all these years I thought I knew how to make oil down. But by far this is the very best I have seen, thank you for teaching me a new method, your uncle is a genius, I will attempt to follow this recipe, so I will be viewing this over and over and taking notes
This is rich people oil down, poor people use pigtail or saltfish, breadfruit, provisions, ochro, fresh green seasonings, dasheen bush, whole ochro, coconut milk, fireside to cook it on, steam everything, tastes divine
I have lost count of how many comments I made on this video. Uncle is a boss over that pot! Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching every moment of this video...sad I couldn’t get a plate
😂😂 all comments are welcome. He sure knows his way around the pot. Hopefully you’ll give the recipe a try and have some yourself. It’s really really good!
Hi Nezzle my curiosity is now overjoyed to see the results of your national dish. I would like to try making it but I believe I should try it from a Grenadian first. It looks delicious.
It’s also a Trini dish so check our restaurants in NYC. We all have breadfruit. I miss it here in California. I’m going to check on Hawaiian shops. That’s where I find calloloo. We do get great crab as well.
I make the best vegan oildown been doing if for over 20 years. He did a good job though but I keep it ital..... Big up yourself great video. Next time get it on the block different vibes and style to on the fire wood.
@@ifirstselassie3606 I’ve had a really tasty vegan oil down so I don’t doubt you. Yes we do it outside sometimes. It was just most convenient to use the stove in this case.
Living in nyc most of my life I had the privilege of eating so many different Caribbean dishes, most of my favorites was jamaican food! I once made some curry chicken which turned out delicious, but my all time favorite is curry goat with rice and peas with any steamed vegetable.
The only thing I can say about this Grenada Oil Down…looks yummy, yum, yum. It looks mouth watering 🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋 Thank you fir sharing your delicious recipe.🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love oil down. I was introduced to this lovely dish when I was on work assignment there in 2004. I got it every week for the 2 months I was there. Lol. It was awesome. Never thought of trying it. Maybe I will.
That looks absolutely delicious 😋 🤤. Don’t know if I’ll ever make it but I definitely want to visit Grenada 🇬🇩 now! It looks like such a beautiful country full of my beautiful people!! 😍😍 New subbie here!! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is truly a labor of love. Well done! Because of the International grocery in our area I've learned to make Fufu dumplings for my soups. I love it since I can't have wheat.
I’ve never heard of fufu dumplings but I’m glad you’re able to find a substitute that you enjoy. This was indeed a labor of love and we all enjoyed it.
This is the first time I've ever seen oil down done this way. I am so happy that I finally got to watch this video. Will definitely try this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Yes you were very late to the party but definitely better late than never. I think everyone does it a bit differently but it came out really really well. You’ll let me know when you try the recipe.
My mum and dad were Grenadians boy they could have cooked i have many Grenadians friends who cook for a living they really make money 💰 in Trinidad yes love their sweet ✋
It's a popular dish in Trinidad but we only put pigtails or salt beef. It's a very delicious menu. Thanks for sharing this version with the different kinds of meat.
I had oil down in the early 90's when I was at the medical school at St. George's. The first time was being served from a huge cauldron over a fire on the beach. Very, very satisfying. I also miss the fish roti.
@@Nezzle ours is not no different we Grenadians make our oil down with salted meat, pigtails, snout,saltfish, smoke herring, salt mackerel, chicken back or any other meat like turkey, leg and thigh.
Hi I’m from Grenada but I live in New York.I made it just recently but I put salt pig tails, chicken back and smoked turkey wings.My kids love it your uncle did a great job 👍🏾
''Thanks uncle!'' Barbados don't have this dish but I had Jamaican ''Rundown'' and it is superb! It looks really good! Those dumplings, I can't wait. I will be cooking this today, inshallah(God willing), enjoy!
This is so mouth-watering. Been longing to eat this meal. I must say, it ain't for the faint-hearted cos it takes quite a lot of effort to prepare. I'm a foreigner living here and still haven't had it. The seafood(crab) being part of it was alot for me but seeing your Uncle's, I just wanna try it. Loved this! PS. I'm a Newbie TH-camr living here who's African. Stumbled on your channel few weeks ago and I'm loving it. ❤️
It was really tasty but definitely not a quick meal. Yeah you don’t need to add crab or seafood if you don’t want to. I’ve even had vegetarian oil down and enjoyed it. I hope you try it and that you enjoy it if you do. All the best with your channel! I wish you the very best with it! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content.
Where in Africa are you from? I am from RDC living in Canada but love Neezle Channel and Grenada. Never been but thinking to retire there. Good to know there peole from the main land over there
Omg! Mouth watering! My favorite dish. Oh how I miss my dad and grandma. They would make it and send it to me via anyone who’s traveling to the USA, at my request. I love it on the firewood better. Dumplings are the best. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yes we all have a slightly different way of doing it. It came out really good though. We all enjoyed it. I hope you’re able to have some soon. Oil down isn’t something anyone should have to go without for too long. It’s just that good!
This looks good my aunt from St Vincent make oil down similar to this but this original imust try this Grenada oil down in Trinidad we do it a bit different the dasheen leaves we also make callaloo callaloo is a dish in Trinidad
My mom made oil down a few months ago. it's been a very long time since I've had it. OMG my taste buds was in heaven. This made me so hungry I want some lol. I appreciate your contents Thank You from a fellow Grenadian abroad.
You’re most welcome 😊😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Oil down is one of my favorite things to eat!! Loooove it! Glad you were able to enjoy some recently.
OMG! This video is making me miss home so bad. I made a small pot two weeks ago for myself and my daughter. But I got some good tips from your video to make it taste better next time around. Thanks Thanks 😍😊🥰🇬🇩 born living in 🇨🇦😍😊🥰
Awwwwww that oil down look sooo good I eat it when I was there it is lovely good evening to my wonderful loving amazing adorable friend how was your day I do hope everything is fine with you an your family wonderful video as always have a good night rest an God bless you
I’ve never had rundown so I can’t comment on the similarity or lack there of but if it’s similar to oil down then I’m sure it’s great. Thank you 😊 my hair can be a lot of work but I love it.
Yummy!!! That’s sounding really good. I love salt fish souse with dumplings 🤤 Definitely try some oil down on your next visit. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
That’s usually the first thing my aunt has when she arrives as well. When I was studying in Barbados, I always looked forward to returning home for my oil down.
Olga Decaster our recipe is different to the way it’s done in other Caribbean islands. This is how we prepare it in Grenada (for the most part). It’s really tasty.
Wow! I love those colors. Never heard of oil down before and I'm going to Google right after this to read more about this dish. Never heard about the fruit is it bread fruit ? I love carribean food and I'm digging up about this dish yummy
We call in run down in Jamaica but we don’t put any vegetables in it. We cook it with salt fish or salt mackerel. We don’t call it gut we call it the heart of the breadfruit 🇯🇲
Yeah we have a lot of similarities between the islands yet we maintain some differences. A lot of people have drawn the similarity between oil down and run down. I’d like to try run down one day.
Yes we do have a version of this. Maybe you are too young to know it. You cook down the ground provisions into the coconut milk with salt fish. You should try it.
Wow Wow Wow that Looks so so Good, Nezzle, I had to call my Mom and tell her about this food, if it is God's Will Nezzle, when Covid is over I will be coming to Grenada in 2021 and I will be looking for your Uncle to cook me some Oil Down, I live in the US, so I am coming for some good food, I hope you Live in the City because I am am afraid of going up Hills. I plan to stay only in the City.
Hi Audrey, yes we live in the city. That’s why most of my videos are on the town side. Oil down is really good! You’ll love it!! I hope you have a fabulous time when you visit.
@@michaelpowell6392 lol well that is an option. Though as you can see, this delectable dish was made by a man so you can also learn and make it yourself. Then you can have it as often as you’d like.

Hi I’m from Grenada but I live in New York.I made it just recently but I put salt pig tails, chicken back and smoked turkey wings.My kids love it your uncle did a great job 👍🏾
Yes many people do it with chicken back and neck as well as pig tails. We opted to go porkless though not all persons there were eating pork.
Growing up in Grenada we used back&Neck your uncle did a wonderful job
Yes we have used back and neck before too but it makes it a bit more oily (though debatably a bit more tasty lol).
''Thanks uncle!'' Barbados don't have this dish but I had Jamaican ''Rundown'' and it is superb! It looks really good! Those dumplings, I can't wait. I will be cooking this today, inshallah(God willing), enjoy!
Awesome! Please let me know how it turns out. It’s one of my favourite things to eat.
This is so mouth-watering. Been longing to eat this meal. I must say, it ain't for the faint-hearted cos it takes quite a lot of effort to prepare. I'm a foreigner living here and still haven't had it. The seafood(crab) being part of it was alot for me but seeing your Uncle's, I just wanna try it. Loved this!
PS. I'm a Newbie TH-camr living here who's African. Stumbled on your channel few weeks ago and I'm loving it. ❤️
It was really tasty but definitely not a quick meal. Yeah you don’t need to add crab or seafood if you don’t want to. I’ve even had vegetarian oil down and enjoyed it. I hope you try it and that you enjoy it if you do. All the best with your channel! I wish you the very best with it! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content.
@@Nezzle Yeah, I make it vegetarian style too sometimes.
Looking forward to seeing you vlog your first oil down.
Where in Africa are you from? I am from RDC living in Canada but love Neezle Channel and Grenada. Never been but thinking to retire there. Good to know there peole from the main land over there
@@mafandalaadele6110 That's great to know. I am a Nigerian. ❤️
Omg! Mouth watering! My favorite dish. Oh how I miss my dad and grandma. They would make it and send it to me via anyone who’s traveling to the USA, at my request. I love it on the firewood better. Dumplings are the best. Thanks for sharing the video.
Yes dumplings are the best and it is even better on firewood but it was really good nonetheless. I’m sorry about your dad and grandma.
I know Mr. Leon, he is such a cool person and this oil down looks so good.
He is eh. Always jovial and easy to talk to. The oil down was amazing!

Interesting how most of us have different methods of packing the pot. This looks yummy tho! I haven't had a good oildown for a hot minute.
Yes we all have a slightly different way of doing it. It came out really good though. We all enjoyed it. I hope you’re able to have some soon. Oil down isn’t something anyone should have to go without for too long. It’s just that good!

Hi Andrew, yes it was really good! We all enjoyed it! I’m doing well. I hope everything is well with you too. God bless you too.
Similiar to run down (different name for different countries). Your hair looks lovely, healthy and beautifully natural.
I’ve never had rundown so I can’t comment on the similarity or lack there of but if it’s similar to oil down then I’m sure it’s great. Thank you 😊 my hair can be a lot of work but I love it.
Thanks for the recipes I will try it I love the ground provisions ❤️👍🏿
Judith Israel you’re welcome! I hope you enjoy it
Watching this video from The Netherlands, I wish I was there to smell the lovely spices.
Hopefully you'll be able to do so one day. They smell lovely.
Delicious, I will have to try this dish when I visit Grenada 🇬🇩. I grew up on dumplings 🥟 and salt fish 🐠. 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Yummy!!! That’s sounding really good. I love salt fish souse with dumplings 🤤 Definitely try some oil down on your next visit. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
I miss that oil down; when i come to Grenadad that is the first thing my friends make for me love love it.
That’s usually the first thing my aunt has when she arrives as well. When I was studying in Barbados, I always looked forward to returning home for my oil down.
@@Nezzle thats jamaican food also.it supose to cook with grave.it nead more coconut milk for u to get the real thing
Olga Decaster our recipe is different to the way it’s done in other Caribbean islands. This is how we prepare it in Grenada (for the most part). It’s really tasty.
Greetings from JA. Beautiful lady and a great cook
Thank you 😊 greetings to you too.
Oh my goodness, that's one of the reasons I miss Grenada! The Oil Down.
I totally understand that feeling. I used to miss it a lot when I was studying as well.
Wow! I love those colors. Never heard of oil down before and I'm going to Google right after this to read more about this dish. Never heard about the fruit is it bread fruit ? I love carribean food and I'm digging up about this dish yummy
It’s really tasty! You should give it a try. Yes it’s called breadfruit.
This looked so good!!
It really was!!
Oil down is my favorite dish at home😛Whenever I visit my brothers makes it for me enjoy.❤🙂.Have a fabulous weekend,until next video.
Oil down is my favorite dish as well. That and Roti. I just love them so much!
We call in run down in Jamaica but we don’t put any vegetables in it. We cook it with salt fish or salt mackerel. We don’t call it gut we call it the heart of the breadfruit 🇯🇲
Yeah we have a lot of similarities between the islands yet we maintain some differences. A lot of people have drawn the similarity between oil down and run down. I’d like to try run down one day.
This is nothing like Jamaican run dung
Yes we do have a version of this. Maybe you are too young to know it. You cook down the ground provisions into the coconut milk with salt fish. You should try it.
Our callaloo is different too😊
My used to cook it with just fish as she was not a big meat eater. 8t was the best.
Omg I woke up and heard my Cuz on tv making my favourite dish. Xxx
😂😂 hope you’ll make it too
I sent it to my nephew who I know will make it for me.
@@yellobandit9740 sounds good
Wow Wow Wow that Looks so so Good, Nezzle, I had to call my Mom and tell her about this food, if it is God's Will Nezzle, when Covid is over I will be coming to Grenada in 2021 and I will be looking for your Uncle to cook me some Oil Down, I live in the US, so I am coming for some good food, I hope you Live in the City because I am am afraid of going up Hills. I plan to stay only in the City.
Hi Audrey, yes we live in the city. That’s why most of my videos are on the town side. Oil down is really good! You’ll love it!! I hope you have a fabulous time when you visit.
@@Nezzle I pray so, if I have to pay Uncle to cook Oil Down for me I will, I can tell he is experienced and I can't wait, but all in God's Time.
Hi thanks for sharing this video I’m Jamaican but would definitely try this looks good and I imagine tasty!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it when you try it
Smart lady get your uncle to cook the food then you get to eat it haha

@@Nezzle I have to get a nice lady from Grenada wow mouth running water now
@@michaelpowell6392 lol well that is an option. Though as you can see, this delectable dish was made by a man so you can also learn and make it yourself. Then you can have it as often as you’d like.
Omg that looks so so delicious and healthy with all is those vegetables hmmm

I Love oil down.. beautiful❤
Me too. It’s one of my favorite foods!
