🍵🍴 HOW TO MAKE GRENADA's OIL DOWN THE RIGHT WAY! 🔥

Follow Us on IG: chosenone.tv
HOW TO MAKE GRENADA's OIL DOWN THE RIGHT WAY! Chosen One TV partnered with Benz Kitchen to demonstrate the process. Oil down is the national dish of Grenada, Oil down is a stew of breadfruit, salted meat, chicken, dumplings, callaloo, and other vegetables, all stewed in coconut milk, herbs, and spices to make a hearty and flavorful one-pot meal.
It is called oil down because the coconut milk simmers down and releases its rich flavored oil into the pot. All of the liquid is cooked down (dried out), hence the name oil down.

Am proud to be a grenadian love love oildown yes our dish

[@teejack8108]

Bestfriend in highschool was Grenadian...used to love going to her home for special occasions because I know that oildown was going to be on the menu. Thank you aunty for this step-by-step...will definitely try it!

[@VIDDWEST]

This is best, most complex and delicious looking Oil Down I've ever seen. She is an excellent Chef and instructor. This will be my first time making it. FOR ME, I wish she had described the tenderness and or certain textures she was trying to achieve for some cooking steps. Helpful tips and examples like; "not too soft or too firm," or cook it down so not soupy, look for oil to appear, etc. Cooking is sometimes by trial and error. I don't want too much error my first time making. I will definitely make it. ❤

[@lizabetx483]

Thank you for representing your national dish. There are too many people misrepresenting the dish on KZbin by making a soup.

[@rehanashah9595]

Best oil down recipe on KZbin. This lady and her kids can really cook. She did well bringing her kids up.

[@ruthfrancois8972]

Lovely video. One of my most favorite dishes. your spirit is nice and calm you seem like you're very patient and are a teacher at heart😊 one observation after leaving in Grenada for many years is that many Grenadains call turmeric "Safran" turmeric is a root while Safran is the most expensive Spice in the world and actually comes from a flower. Hope this helps😊

[@karenleach6427]

It is a very good idea I will try oil down this way my grand mother Christiana Daly use to make it like this well done my relatives are from St David well done miss

[@arlenetaylor7088]

This is one of the best videos on oildown. Now I feel I could pack a pot properly.

[@nixonnedd5777]

Delisa we worked at Rex a long time ago, very happy to see you and very proud to see you representing so beautifully ❤❤🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩

Hey girlfriend! Excellent job I am so proud of you. you just make me smile that oildown looks so delicious 😋

[@charmaine5301]

Amazing and I’m salivating

[@lucillebaptiste8297]

The correct spice is turmeric. Safran is quite different and it does not grow in Grenada. Yes lady, you are a great cook and God has blessed your hands.

[@yardiesfood]

Trying this before the new year 2023 🍴❤️🍴

[@jayj5632]

[@Tamara-wm8qf]

What are the chicken seasonings? With the local flavor?

[@bellewill9748]

Fantastic ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

[@lizabetx483]

Delicious yummy!

[@abbyg894]

Great job Delisa

[@robertAnderson-m4l]

Butiful dish I will be trying this real son

[@868AIB]

As a Trini 🇹🇹 I only hearing about Grenadian oil down….compared to Trini oil down and we making it wrong. It’s the same, less ingredients

[@92spice18]

In my opinion it’s not the same. What you guys make is actually called run down in all the other islands. Some Grenadians make the same dish that you all make in Trinidad and call it steam down or coconut rurup.

[@megajanique]

It's definitely NOT the same...... Trinidadians don't get it right !

[@868AIB]

oh please@@megajanique

[@tamicaroberts4698]

This stove. Is clean and nice

[@jailbreakcrew7022]

Who go dislike nice food Soo

[@marissa-barclay]

Great video 🤗

[@aziyza41]

Hi there. Is it OK to use frozen Calaloo? It's fresh Calaloo that I used last time I attempted to make oil down. I didn't use all of the Calaloo, so I stuck the extra in the freezer. Is it OK to use it for a new pot of oil down?

[@soundcityintl]

The chicken was season, but why no seasonings for the pigtails snd salt beef?

[@iammizpinky8179]

the pigtail and salt beef already have their own flavor.

[@cinnamonstar808]

alot of people click on this with their bellies 😆✨ 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@patriciamaraj4887]

Sylvia,that is how oil down should look,not with a whole set of liquid in it.

[@anastasiasharidaali8217]

You on point.. great. oil down is not to be stir so true..

[@earlehagley3363]

Great job Ah cud smell it lol

[@NCLme]

Someone said it was turmeric that gives oil down its colour, is that something you can use for the colour? I knew it was saffron.

[@megajanique]

Tumeric is what we use...we call it saffron in greens but it is NOT saffron

[@elisabethhunter4430]

Looks delicious, Can this be made without meat?

[@alvathomas215]

Yes it can

[@thebishop1095]

Yes, I had oildown with no meat, just a small bit of saltfish and smoked herring. Best pot I ever ate!

[@niadubissette-kv8tu]

Nice video

[@richieb3461]

Shouldn’t the water from the chicken boiled out

[@chriswilt208]

I’m so hungry 😢

[@sommers_s8642]

This oil down looks different from trini oil down

[@rapcat1271]

Hi what were the ingredients in your local flavor seasoning on the chicken?

[@arlenetaylor7088]

Chive, thyme, seasoning pepper and chadon beni (culantro) all combined aka green seasoning

[@this.i.command1055]

That's a lot of oil down...how many people can that feed..I would need to make 1/4 of that

[@markbra]

is that saffron or turmeric?

[@nicoleholder5807]

Look like turmeric to me🤷‍♀️

[@banzaitnt]

Tumeric is referred to as saffron in many caribbean countries
