Sonesta recipes - something new for your family?
St. Maarten's cuisine subscribes to the general diversity of its people, revealing touches of the French, who have shared the island for more than 350 years, and the Spanish. A favorite hobby in St. Maarten is recipe swapping, and following are some of the favorites. Callaloo Soup (Caribbean Greens), one of St. Maarten's National Dishes. Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh kale, 1/2 pound callaloo, or fresh spinach, 12 okra pods, 1/4 pound salt pork, cut into thin strips, /2 pound fresh lean pork, cubed 2 onions, thinly sliced, Freshly ground black pepper to taste, 1 hot pepper, seeds removed, sliced, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 6 cups chicken stock. Pull all stems from kale and callaloo. Discard stems and roughly chop the leaves. Wash leaves thoroughly. Rough chop the kale. Place salt port in a large, heavy soup kettle and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, rendering fat. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Add pork cubes and onions to pan. Sauté over medium heat until cubes are brown and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add kale, callaloo, okra, black pepper and hot pepper. Add thyme and stock. Cover and simmer 2 1/2 hours. Remove salt pork before serving. Makes 6-8 servings. Crab Backs (Crabmeat-Stuffed Shells). Ingredients: 12 live blue crabs, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 medium tomato, chopped 3 tablespoons chopped chives, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, Unseasoned dry bread crumbs.
