Classic Coo Coo Recipe by Chef Shaun 🇹🇹 Foodie Nation

Trinbagonian Coo Coo is a traditional dish from Trinidad and Tobago, made primarily from cornmeal and okra. It's a staple in Trinidadian cuisine and often served as a side dish, especially with fish & ground provisions.
Ingredients
Unsalted Butter - 2 tbsp
Onion - 1 cup (finely chopped)
Pimento - ¼ cup (finely chopped)
Carrot - ½ cup (grated)
Pumpkin - ½ cup (grated) ??
Ochro - 2 cups (thinly sliced)
Garlic - ¼ cup (finely chopped)
Salt - 1 tsp or to taste
Black Pepper - ½ tsp
Coconut Milk - 4 cups (32 fl oz)
Cornmeal - 2 cups
Chive - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Celery - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Method
Heat your medium to large-sized pot over medium to high heat.
Once heated, add coconut oil.
Once oil is heated, add your onion, pimento, carrots, pumpkin & ochro.
Cover & allow to cook until onions are translucent (about 3 minutes).
Add garlic, turmeric, salt & black pepper.
Stir in your coconut milk.
Cover, raise your heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and slowly whisk in your cornmeal.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, continue to stir until all your cornmeal is fully cooked.
Switch off the heat and stir in chive & celery.
Immediately transfer to a greased dish and allow to set and cool before slicing.
Enjoy!

Yummy healthy 😋

[@andrewharricoo891]

I love this so much, but I don't like the Ochroes in it, (but I do love Ochroes) what I do now to avoid the lumps, I mix water into the cornmeal to make a lil runny paste, then slowly add it in whilst I continue to stir, I also saw some 'popular' ppl doing this now, cause it's so much easier .
Coconut milk can be added instead of water too, but I've never tried it.
