To try stuff...Well, that's what we're for. To try stuff, fail, then tell you how to avoid the pitfalls. We didn't know what a lot of the recipes/ingredients were either, but then we just asked our dear friend "Google." From what we gathered a scotch pepper is a really hot pepper used quite often in the Caribbean. The closest thing to it that we could find was a habanero which your store should have. And malanga? A kind of root vegetable, similar to taro root. I literally Googled 'alternative for malanga' and someone said sweet potato so that's what we used. I think the SP was less starchy which was why we had to add more flour. We love to discover new things, so if you ever have a question, email us and we'll research it for you. If this is all too much, read some of our older posts to find simpler recipes and increase your repertoire to 11 recipes.

Words like malanga? And what the heck is a scotch pepper? It's bad enough that I don't happen to have this stuff in my kitchen, but I also have no idea what to look for in the store. And does my store even stock a pepper I've never heard of? See, this is why I cook the same 10 meals over and over. Sigh...Kellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976441443089221824.post-48110849706752156872010-01-27T19:22:57.076-08:002010-01-27T19:22:57.076-08:00Love the site!!! making me extremely hungry and al...Love the site!!! making me extremely hungry and also wanting a better kitchen to cook in..give big love to Ham for me!!!
