Where has the coconut oil gone?
Whatever happened to that wonderful coconut oil we used
religiously back in the Caribbean to cook almost ANYTHING?
The 90’s gave it a bad rap, and it has virtually
disappeared from the shelves of almost EVERY supermarket,
even in the islands.
Suddenly, someone decided to take a closer look and
realized that it’s the hydrogenated/trans-fatty oils that
are killing off the population, not our unadulterated,
organic, wild , naturally processed coconut oil that has
been used in the tropics as a mainstay in our diets for
thousands of years!
WITHOUT ALL THE HEART DISEASE AND CHOLESTOROL ISSUES THEY
CLAIM IT CAUSES!
Anyway, that’s for another newsletter—today I’m just
putting the word out there from my kitchen—On a recent trip
to the deep backwoods of Jamaica, I stumbled upon a small
community that still uses coconut oil. Better yet, they
still make it from scratch the old –fashioned way….BY HAND!
No Machines, No Presses, No Blenders…No NOTHING but their
BARE HANDS!...This story too is for another
newsletter..where I will tell you of their amazing
lifestyle and all that I experienced there that just BLEW
ME AWAY!
Any ways…I snuck a TINY bottle of their “Made From Scratch”
coconut oil into the kitchen at Ripe for this week-end.
This oil is so precious and concentrated with flavor, It is
not used to cook with, but rather to drizzle a few drops
over a freshly prepared dish, just as Italians would
drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil on simple pastas to round
out the flavor.
We will be drizzling it over our Roasted Red Snappers, to
round out the flavor of the fish cooked in Ripe’s Seafood
Broth with Chinese vegetables, Spinach, Okra and Rice.
These fish once again JUST arrived from Trinidad and are
SUPER DUPER Fresh!
Do Not miss this dish this Week-End. As a matter of fact,
if you order your fish between 5pm and 8pm, tonight only,
(Friday) will offer you both the Roasted Red Snapper
Entrée, and our Caribbean Crab Cake appetizer, together,
at the Ripe RIDICULOUS price of ONLY $19.95.
This is an internet only offer…It is not advertised at the
restaurant, and will only be available if ordered by 8pm,
and while they last!
So Come on down early and get your Fish on tonight at Ripe!
You MUST experience that Virgin Coconut Oil!
DO NOT FORGET THE STEEL DRUMS AND ART SHOW THIS SUNDAY AT
5PM SHARP!
