Cooking most Jamaican stews and soups with coconut milk is a sure way of enhancing the taste, flavor and aroma. Preparing Jamaican dishes with coconut milk with the exception of rice and peas seems to have become obsolete. However, coconut is one of the cornerstone ingredients in the Jamaican cuisine and rightly so. Before the days of refined cooking oil such as corn and vegetable, coconut oil was what most Jamaican used to prepare their meals. Coconut milk reduced over medium heat forms the lovely flavor which Jamaicans call custard. Meat, fish and vegetables would then be cooked with this oil/custard resulted in some delicious Jamaican dishes.
