Oil down is a Caribbean stew that contains salted meat, dumplings, and fresh vegetables in a coconut milk broth with lots of herbs and spices. Chicken wings, pig tails, breadfruit, okra, carrots, green sauce, pumpkin, spinach, and green bananas are among the most popular ingredients used. It’s a flavor bomb in your mouth!

TRUE BLUE BAY BOUTIQUE HOTEL: At my hotel, I got to see how they make oil down. Our cook prepared all of the ingredients (breadfruit, lemon juice, green bananas, chicken, saltfish, peppers, onions, carrots, green onions, squash, greens, cauliflower, dumplings, and coconut milk with saffron) and put them in a huge pot. He let them cook for 45 minutes and we had oil down! I also enjoyed a beer in paradise, went for a swim, and took a quick tour of the property!

    Hey David. Happy Saturday. Oil down is something I’ve never heard of til you. Have had individual ingredients such as Callaloo which I love. Could never acquire a test for breadfruit. Lots of provisions. Well seasoned chicken. 🧅🥕cabbage , salt fish, cauliflower, squash, sweet peppers, saffron 🥥🥛, dumplings my fav. Can already taste and smell it. 😋. Compact pot. Wow. You roll the dumplings well David. The finished product looks amazing. Wow. You went for seconds and the pot is almost empty. David I was thinking the same. Want rice or naan. Or even Roti for me. Nice villa. The bathroom is huge. Oh. Look at upstairs. Kitchen, living room, pool. Nice. This is what we like. To try the native island food cooked by islanders. Not bougie restaurants. Thanks so much. See you next video.

    The place looks lovely. I never knew oil down was the national dish. The love and pride that goes into making it. I never saw it with a mixture of meats and fish. Looks so good. Yes learn the cooking skils David for the Resturant in the future. You can call it " A taste of the world "😊💕 many blessings 💕

    One thing that I notice is that the women are underrepresented in this piece. Women do most of the work in the world.

    We need a clip of him washing his hands 🤲.. especially with the 💍 ring on patting down the greens and playing in the dough🤔🤔🤔..

    One interesting thing about Oil Down is that it tastes best as a day old left-over food. Something about letting it sit in the fridge overnight just really brings out the flavors more.

    Correction:Grenada doesn't grow or has saffron. Tumeric is what Grenadians often call saffron;however, the latter is a different spice.
    Tumeric is not saffron!!;

    Very different from trini oil down ! Would love to try it one day.❤ but we dont produce actual saffron strands from the flowers in the caribbean.. its Tumeric but its labelled as saffron powder because of the colour.
