Mr. and Mrs. Powe wanted to do something special..so special that they knew a restaurant wouldn't fit the bill. So, why not dress your own home up as a restaurant?! What a great idea! We setup tables in the living room, center pieces included! However, there was a slight catch...I had to create a Carribean influenced menu for the newly engaged couple with roots from Jamaica! Now, I'm scared! But, with my love for food, if I find an ethnic food that I love and admire so dearly, I will try and try and try to re-create it to get it just right. With one good trip to Jamaica, Negril to be exact, I had to take from the experience, and memories of jerk chicken by the beach..That's what we did. We're not from the islands, but we'll get you as close as possible if you let us!
Menu:
Mango Salad with a Ginger Citrus Vinagerette
Sweet Fried Plantains
Black Beans & Rice
Fire Grilled Jerk Chicken (Yes..scotch bonnett peppers make it hot!!)
