As the times are getting shorter and nights cooler, it’s a delicate reminder that winter is simply across the nook. A time which this son of the Caribbean dreads! With this dish it’s my means of extending the summer time through the use of the outside grill and consuming alfresco earlier than that’s not an choice.

1 cup olive oil (divided)
1/2 medium onion (diced)
8 cloves garlic (divided)
1 lb pumpkin or squash (divided)
1 1/2 tablespoon black pepper (divided)
2 pimento peppers (diced)

1 lemon (juice)
1 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley
8 grape tomatoes
1 1/2 lb candy potato (pre-cooked in salted water)
2 lb Snapper or any fish you take pleasure in (cleaned)
Notes! Whereas this fish recipe was executed on my smoker/grill, it may also be executed on a propane or charcoal grill and simply as simply in your indoor oven at 375F. Could I like to recommend that you simply comply with together with the video beneath as way more is mentioned there. If making this dish gluten free, please undergo the entire substances to make sure that they meet your gluten free dietary necessities. In the event you don’t have the Hot Honey or choose to maintain the ‘warmth’ out of the dish, common honey will work.
Warmth 1 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan on a medium flame. Add the onion, 3 sprigs of thyme (leaves solely), 1/3 of the Pimento Peppers and 1/3 of the garlic and stir properly. Flip the warmth to medium/low, add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook dinner for 2-3 minutes then add 1/4 of the pumpkin (diced) and the Jamaican Callaloo (washed and reduce). Elevate again the warmth to medium now.
After 3-4 minutes, add 4 of the Okra (chopped) and stir properly. Cook dinner for an additional 2-3 minutes then flip off the range and permit it to chill as we prep the fish. Be aware – with the okra, trim off the stem and ends and discard.
With the candy potatoes, give them a very good wash, slice in 1/2 and cook dinner for 15-20 minutes in salted water.
Make a dressing with the remaining oil, pimento peppers, 1/2 of the thyme that are left again (leaves solely), chopped parsley, lemon juice, reserved garlic, spicy honey, 1/2 of the remaining salt and black pepper. Then whisk properly to mix.
Line a heatproof tray with parchment paper, foil or a banana leaf. Give the cleaned fish a pair cuts down the thickest a part of the stomach, then season the cavity and exterior with the remaining salt and black pepper. After which you’ll place the stuffing within the cavity of the fish and permit the surplus to overflow out onto the tray.
Place the pre-cooked candy potatoes, remaining Okra (entire or sliced down the center), tomato and sliced pumpkin (about 1/2 inch thick).
Drizzle on the dressing over every little thing and provides a very good toss if you would like. In my case I knew throughout cooking the dressing would get to the underside of every little thing. High with the remaining sprigs of thyme.
After 20 minutes in my 375 F grill, I went in with a spoon and titled the pan a bit. I used to be capable of spoon among the juices over every little thing once more. Be conscious the pan will likely be HOT!
45 minutes later (uncovered) and the pumpkin was tender, tomato blistered and fish absolutely cooked. The stuffing and candy potato have been pre cooked so no stress there. High with ending salt and lemon juice if you would like. Time to close off the grill and revel in. This can be a full meal for 3-4 individuals.
