It is so amazing how similar and different this dish is throughout the Caribbean. I know as a Bajan the name and method will throw people off. Other islands like Anguila and Virgin Islands this is called fungi. This method looks easier and you don't' need a cou-cou stick like you do in the Bajan version. Now I wish I had access to flying fish or salt fish gravy, lard I am getting hungry.

[@Trinichoko93]

I tried and I ain't go lie, it came out way better than I expected

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Thank you

[@Zahria.J-pj9ze]

@@TriniCookingwithNatasha can corn flour work?

[@DrCherylCottle]

Thanks for sharing. I have seen it made in Kenya and it is called ugali but I recalled it being prepared with lots of vegetables, butter and coconut milk when I was young. It is a savory dish. In Kenya it is made of just corn flour and water. Today I decided to do a search "recipe for cooking coo coo Trinidad style" and I found your recipe. It was just as I recall seeing my mother and grand-mother doing. Thanks for sharing Natasha. You nailed it. 👍👍

[@sugarpoppop3958]

One good thing that I got from your recipe that I haven't seen or heard of is soaking the corn meal and I think it's BRILLIANT! I will definitely give it a try tomorrow 😃

[@asheragard140]

I hope this helps us appreciate the fact that we are one people in the Caribbean. Different names and versions of the same food . In Grenada they usually use the courser ground corn as well but I've never seen the okra or carrots added just coconut milk and aromatics. Delicious dish with some callaloo and stewed fish or chicken with plenty gravy 👌🏽😀🇬🇩

[@gemarambhajan876]

@asheragard140 exactly only d calaloo an a fresh salad wit a beastly cold glass of cola

[@nurryskitchen4738]

Some Grenadian add okra because my mom does.

[@samanthajames1286]

I followed your recipe today and made cou cou for the first time. It came out great.

[@JamaicanRecipeQueen]

Wow look at that texture looks amazing

[@elizabethroblyn1392]

I jus completed this recipe. Perfection. I hve done this before and never soaked it and it still came out with no lumps, but this method is definitely easier. Yes Natasha 👍🏾

[@stacyannscipio8861]

I tried this recipe and omg it's so easy and tasty and nooo pressure with clumping. This is my new go to coucou recipe!!! I don't think I let it cook down enough though, it didn't set too good, but was still a bit firm and tasted just as great!

[@sugarpoppop3958]

It looks delicious and silky.

[@trini_boi2414]

Believe it or not but it's videos like this and practice that have my family and friends loving my cooking...this dish is one I'll have to add to my menu..oh and thanks for posting 😄

[@naty1012]

Tomorrow will be exactly a year since you posted this video and funny enough I looked it up because I was feeling for coo coo.

[@MrCeora]

Beautiful! That's way I mix my corn meal, in cool water to avoid lumps. I like my okra in larger pieces, but your recipe looks fantastic. Great presentation!

[@sheilaali6062]

I made it your way and it was the best I ever made after following your steps thanks

[@patbaptiste9510]

Soak in water? Are you kidding me? I absolutely *LOVED* the result - just the way it looked alone and I ca bet it taste great too, so I'm about to try it right now because I had already seasoned 4 eight inch long Red Snapper last night with the intention of making Jamaican Escovitch but wasn't sure what to make with it- then Coo Coo came to mind, so Coo Coo it will be. Wish me luck.

[@iangb3869]

looks delicious🌽🥕🌶

[@marjoriereyes3254]

U don’t hv to soak the corn meal. I love the different methods. Sauté the vegetables which. I love /. Then the coconut milk. /. The old fashioned way is bringing all vegetables to a boil eliminating the butter fats. Using a fork while adding the cornmeal slowly would avoid lumping off the dough

[@karleenisrael-alibey3555]

Hi I'm karleen I tried this recipe n my coo coo came out perfectly. Tnku Natasha

I tried so I will try later this morning when I get up

[@sharinasingh5180]

That looks delicious I have see this brown on all sides in a fry pan. I would love to try that .

[@judyblackmancallender3663]

You can do that in butter the following day. I do that all the time! Put your left-over Coo-coo in the fridge. Next day, use sufficient butter to warm it up and you can fry it up in small sliced batches for better management when turning! ❤😊😅 I love 💘 to slice some pieces thin to get it crispy! Delish!!! 😋 😋😋

[@savitrirampersad5600]

I am definitely going to try it tomorrow, with stew fish

Beautiful

[@lifestylemanagement2063]

I'm making this today. Already soak my cornmeal, I have all of the ingredients except the ochro but that's okay (I only like ochro fried dry). Thank you for the recipe 🌷🙏💛🇬🇾🇨🇦🇹🇹

[@dblessed55]

Ochro, coconut and butter are the most important ingredient in making coo coo... the other ingredients are optional..but with Ochro. Coconut and butter your coo coo will be moooorrisssh

[@rafeenalsm]

@@dblessed55 well, I thot the cornmeal would be the most important ingredient. I made it without the ochro and it was delicious.

[@wentzel812]

​@@rafeenalsm how the cornmeal is flavored and the cooking method is what is most important. Would it make sense to add totally different ingredients but still call it cou cou just because it has cornmeal in it?

[@chrissystewart6268]

I would like to try it I'm an Baltimore Native I 💗 everything 🇹🇹 so June 6th is my birthday 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 welcome to my birthday celebration 🎊🎉🎊 🎂 ♊ I want to try more 🇹🇹 dishes accept seafood I get 😷 . Tuesday June 6th let's make a birthday toast 🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@cherylannmarcano6026]

I also do this and add cheese while mixing and alo as a final layer

[@TheFashionSetter]

I saw the video and try it but mine didn’t set in the middle, it was soft. Does that means it’s still raw?

[@annabethmorris8048]

this is similar to Jamaican " tun cornmeal ". I will try it 😀 👍

[@umelladenoon5569]

Yea I did come out real good

[@sugarpoppop3958]

Im happy that you mentioned that we can add whatever ingredients we like because when I saw CARROTS I was out. Because the next recipe I might see is FISH in D COUCOU ( which is actually not a bad idea, try it but don't do it 😆).
