Amazing how all of us descendants of African slaves here in the Americas have something like this--grits in the American South, mais molu in Haiti, Cuban fufu', Dominican mangu, cornmeal porridge in Jamaica, and so on. Food is the one thing they couldn't take from us, and thank God for that! This looks yummy!
Hi KezzieAnn and Chef Jason, thank you for teaching us to cook tasty dishes. You have taught me a different method of cooking - adding the seasonings separately, allowing each one to saute for a few minutes to release their flavors. I am excited to try this coo coo, it is soo colorful and looks delicious.
Love the segments, you guys make me smile from the soul, I'm a 'Foodie', home Chef and have been cooking since age 9! We all do, don't know anyone in the vast and diverse family that cyah cook! I've been privileged to live and work all over the Caribbean and as such, in Antigua and Barbuda, legend has it that if a young lady can't tunn ah ball ah funji, well, she's not likely to get married, I'm Antigua it is delicious and served with steamed or stewed fish and other local traditional sides, a treat for the soul--much like looking at 'Foodie Nation'. I've learned much from island to Island and there are so many different techniques to prepare dishes that we have grown up with. Travel, Cook, Experiment, Eat, With Family And Close Friends! Happy Cooking Guys, You're The Best! Well done! Excellent Platform For All Foodies! Live! Love! Laugh! Cook! Eat! With a smile! Oh, I spell it like chef does, but with a hyphen: Chadon-Beni.
Weeeelllllll. .... I've been asking my mom to show me how to make this tasty dish as its my favorite. ... she never did... and thanks to you guys I tried it today aaaannnnd. ... it was easy and tasted grrrr8!!!!! Thank you Foodie Nation
Hey guys, I want to thank y'all for the great service online for having great Trini meals. What's good even a novice can follow your instructions ,and make a tasty meal to perfection since y'all took the time to provide details of ingredients down to the 1/4 Tsp of Salt. Thank you guys, I've recommended Foodie Nation menus to friends local and foreign and they were impress also.
It is called Tun Cornmeal in Jamaica. I watch your videos to make most of the National Dishes for Caribbean islands for my grade 5 class. Very simple and easy to follow. Keep it guys.
Us bajans call it "cou-cou" usually served with steam flying fish, or a salt fish okra slush. Ours is alot different, i think i like the trini version 😂. Nice video btw!
Chef Jason and Chef KezzieAnn, u guys are the best. My coo coo was the bomb. I enjoy yr cooking . I only ask that u guys give the measurements for the ingredients for yr recipes. So we have an idea what we doing for the first time. Thank u guys
Mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love it love with fish, In ST.kitts /nevis we say Coo Coo we say Corn or tun corn lol we ball it mostly same ingredients . Thanks for sharing love you both
I’ve tried for years to make this dish and always failed this recipe was a no brainer and it finally came out awesome my husband was literally licking the pot after I transferred the coo coo to the Pyrex dish! Thank u guys!
Years ago I had a conversation with a Panamanian. He said he likes Coo Coo, I starting laughing historically. The reason I was laughing because as a little boy growing up on the Island of St. Croix my grandmother always asked me if I need to coo coo. That's when he went into details and explained what it's made of. So I said to him, we call it Fungi, everyone started laughing.
Heyyy love all your recipes...very good vybz♥️ but I think you should use a different pot juz to see the consistency of everything you add into the dish..thank you!😊
I like wen men teach women to cook,my dad teach my mom,so am married now an my hubby an i teach each other,we work together helping each other in d kitchen..we make beautiful food..but were is d pumpkin i didn't see..love u guys blessings
Chief Jason and Kizzyann happy Monday I just came around to this video ,I love Coo Coo and make it often .I just use coconut milk and water and the two main. Ingredients but I sure will try all of the ingredients U both use in the Coo Coo y'all just made it looks so delicious thanks for shearing 🤗🤗
My very old family member and friends and granny 108 years call it coo-coo in Barbados, love your food, I like okra coo-coo good memories... smooth and not lumpy.
I love you guys so much, everytime I'm unsure about a dish I always use you guys as a reference! Love the stale jokes from chef Jason and the sarcasm from Kez ❤🖤🤍 #MyFoodieAirFryer #MyFoodieAirFryer#MyFoodieAirFryer #MyFoodieAirFryer #MyFoodieAirFryer #MyFoodieAirFryer
Is this eaten hot, cold, or room temperature? Also, I understand it's a side dish, many comments are saying it accompanies fish stew, are there other proteins this would be paired with?
This is usually served hot with meat or fish stews, legumes. Something with a nice gravy and vegetables to complete the meal. If there are any left overs my mom would slice and fry it to make a crispy outside and dip in left over callalloo or anything with a gravy
Hmm....my grandmother used to put it in a buttered bowl, let it cool for a little while, then roll it into a large ball, put it in the middle of the plate, and pour some fish sauce, fish and calalloo. My favorite of all time.
Love this vid. My mom would make a huge ball and then slice...always thought this was the traditional way or maybe it was just her touch... BTW, I spell it Shadon bene!!!!
No, no, no, in Barbados we don't call it Fungi that is criminal. Cou Cou and Flying fish is our national dish. Our Cou Cou is just Okra in the Cornmeal that is stirred and cooked until mellow. A Cou Cou stick is another impliment that you must have to get the lumps out. We grease a round shaped container with butter and unmould on to individual plates. It's not supposed to be dry, the Okra are what makes it smooth otherwise my Granny would not be happy.
I am sure I did not like this as a child in TnT, but I will follow your recipe. Like others have commented, it would have been nice to see inside the pot.....
This man can COOK,I have visited many cooking sites....HE IS THE BEST

That's when he went into details and explained what it's made of. So I said to him, we call it Fungi, everyone started laughing.
Yeah B.. VI people call it Fungi. We will have to remain silent as to what we call coo coo.

Thank you for helping me with the texture of my coo coo. I am eating it right now with calalloo, stew and fried fish.
I needed to see inside the pot, so you may consider a shallower pot, or cameras over the stove.
Nice I love your wonderful cooking that looks mouthwatering and fingerlick good. Thank you so much.
It would be nice to see inside the pot.
🤤🤤🤤looks great. I always enjoy you guys videos. Keep up the good work
Oh so sorry, I actually just saw your ingredients and method. Nice, thank you.

Fool proof recipe.. And soooo good 🇹🇹

How long do I leave it in the oven for
It isn't put in the oven. It's left out to "set"
Chef Jason spelt it correct. Need to try this recipe soon.
Do have a video tutorial on coconut drops with ginger ( "tulum"-not sure about the spelling)
Molasses
That came out really nice...
Do I use the celery leaves or the stems and the leaves
Smh is so simple to make this wow yesssssss thanks for this video 🇹🇹❤
One of Trinidad local dishes but could never perfect it. 🇹🇹....Trini to d bone!
Coo Coo and stew fish is the BEST 😊😊
No, no, no, in Barbados we don't call it Fungi that is criminal. Cou Cou and Flying fish is our national dish. Our Cou Cou is just Okra in the Cornmeal that is stirred and cooked until mellow.

It's better when u guys use the split screen so we see inside the pot other wise great job love watching ....
Staple to trini culture. Stewed red fish or some calaloo makes this dish! 🙌🙌🇹🇹
We call it Cou cou in Barbados too
