One-pot run down is the national dish of Grenada. Cooked at parties and on the street, the name comes from the oil in the coconut milk which splits and sinks to the bottom of the pot. It’s true comfort food - a simple stew of chicken, potatoes, sweet potatoes and bananas in spiced coconut milk.

Grenadian Run Down Recipe:

PREP 20 mins
COOK 1 hr 40 mins
HEAT 3
Serves 4

You Need:

4 chicken legs or large thighs - skin removed, or use extra root veg for a veg/vegan version
1kg mixture of floury potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, carrots and/or squash - peeled and cut into large bite-size pieces
300g kale, chard or green cabbage - thickly sliced
1 onion - thinly sliced
3 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
2 limes
400ml full fat coconut milk
1 portion of Grenadian Run Down Spices

Method:

Mix the chicken with the juice of 1 lime, the onion, garlic, GRENADIAN RUN DOWN SPICES and 1 ½ tsp salt. Leave to marinate
Put ½ of the potato mixture and ½ of the greens in the bottom of a deep pan or pot. Place the chicken on top (including all the marinade) then cover with the remaining potato mixture and greens
Pour the coconut milk over the top, then boil for 10 minutes. Lower the heat, then cover and simmer for 1 ½ hours or until the veg is soft and the chicken is cooked through to the bone
Squeeze over the juice of ½ the remaining lime then serve a good portion of all the different layers with a ladle of sauce from the bottom of the pan, with the remaining ½ lime cut into wedges to squeeze over at the table

We got this spice blend as a free sample and I have to say as THE SPICERY 'free samples' go this has to be one of the best which is of course high praise as they are usually all excellent. We don't eat meat so there was no need for the chicken but we still layered the vegetables, as per the recipe, including the marinade (minus the chicken) in the middle. Thank you SPICERY. Perhaps a West Indian Legend book is in the offing?

We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed this free sample, Graham, and it's great to hear that it worked a treat as a veggie version! If you're after more Caribbean recipes, you should check out our World Curries cookbook, where there is whole chapter on this!

5/5

We made this last night and it was amazing. So easy to do all in one pot, I used boneless thighs and it was still wonderful. A lovely warming stew with just the right amount of spice.

We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this comforting Caribbean free sample! Happy spicing!

5/5

Truly excellent spice blend that we got as a free gift with our regular subscription. A perfect meal for a cold winter evening and relatively simple to prepare and clean up from as it’s a single pot dish. Lots of veg so super healthy and very easy to adapt to being vegetarian.

We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed this free sample, Ed - definitely one to bring you some Caribbean sunshine on a cold evening!

5/5

We also got these spices for free and absolutely loved it! Easy and quick to make with an unusual combination of fruit and vegs. Delicious! Definitely a favourite!
