The six steps to incredible fusion cuisine
Herbs and spices
Both Caribbean and South American cuisines use extensive herbs and spices to add flavour to dishes. Some popular herbs and spices include coriander, oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic, and ginger.
Citrus
Fruits like lime, lemon, and orange are commonly used in Caribbean and South American cuisine to add acidity and brightness to dishes.
Peppers
Peppers of all kinds are used in Caribbean and South American cuisine to add heat and flavour. Scotch bonnet peppers are particularly popular in the Caribbean, while jalapeno and habanero peppers are used in Latin American cuisine.
Seafood
Given the proximity to the ocean, both Caribbean and South American cuisine make extensive use of seafood in their dishes. Some popular seafood dishes include ceviche, grilled fish, and shrimp stew.
Starchy vegetables
Both cuisines use starchy vegetables like yucca, plantains, and potatoes as staples in many dishes. These vegetables can be boiled, fried, or mashed to create a variety of dishes.
Beans and Rice
Both Caribbean and South American cuisines use beans and rice as a base for many dishes. These ingredients are often flavoured with spices and herbs to create a variety of appetising dishes.
The perfect marriage – South America and the Caribbean
These two cuisines are very diverse in many respects, with different national dishes for each island, and many cultural divergences too.
However there is a great amount of common ground between the two, which we have blended together here at our fusion restaurant in Herne Hill.
