🇻🇨How To Make Ducuna/Ducana: St Vincent and the Grenadines -(Caribbean Food)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Subscribe for more videos and everyone is welcome.
If you are in a foreign country make sure you use the right sweet potatoes or your ducuna will not form.
Recipe
3 cups of grated sweet potatoes (Batata sweet potatoes)
1 cup of grated tania. You can use pumpkin, carrots, a green plantain, flour, or eddo to replace tania if you prefer.
1 cup of grated coconut
2 tablespoons of grated ginger (use black pepper or pepper sauce if you prefer)
1 1/2 cups of sugar (less or more if you prefer)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
* Mix ingredients well and put mixture in banana leaves, let water boil before cooking and cook for 1 hour.
* If banana leaves are unavailable you can substitute for aluminum foil or clear plastic bag. Use the same folding method as the banana leaves if using the foil but do not tie. If using clear plastic bag, tie it.
*Always double my ingredients if you want to make more.
*Correction- don't tie the stem too tight it can cause the banana leaves to crack up.
Cook on medium high heat or high heat.

In Jamaica we call it 'dukunu', 'tie-a-leaf', or 'blue draws'.(y... it's along story🤣🤣) This must be another food that survived the African sojourn. It can also be made with cornmeal. My father is Vincy but I was born in Jamaica. Nuff love.🇻🇨🇯🇲
