Homemade Jerk Banana Blossom on Rice & Peas, with a Festival Dumpling.
Dish 2. Same problem as the tofu, too many scotch bonnet peppers in the jerk, not a surprise as it was the same batch. Ditto the dense festival dumpling.
Banana blossom/banana heart, is the fleshy, purple-skinned flower which grows at the end of a banana. It has a flaky texture similar to fish like haddock.

Homemade Jerk Tofu on Rice & Peas, with a Festival Dumpling.
Not a complete success. The rice & peas were good, the tofu worked well, crispy on the outside, soft inside, but I used too many scotch bonnet peppers in the jerk, and although not too hot for me, it overwhelmed the spices. The festival dumpling was too dense.
