Rasta Style LEAF of LIFE Salad with Coconut Cream Glaze!

Dub Poetry, Super Foods & Vibes with the one and only RASS RODD!
I'm in Boston Bay/Fairy Hill area of of Portland Jamaica cooking up one of the most unique vegetable dishes I've ever had in my life! This one is based around the leaf of life, a succulent that's also called the miracle plant and love bush. Rass Rodd has an amazing property built inside the semi ruins of an older home, half indoor half outdoor with a beautiful yard and tons of ingredients available right on the yard. The coconut glaze is a first for me, with coconut juice boiled down and refined with pepper elder, nutmeg, cinnamon and more. Served with lightly fried green plantain, sweet and irish potato, it's also chopped up with bok choi, carrot, sweet pepper and fresh picked turmeric straight out of the ground. This is a unique episode to say the least, thanks so much to Rass Rodd and Kimoya for the hospitality!
Bless up,
Matthew

big up Matt that leaf of life is good for cold i plant it in my yard in South Australia the turmeric is very good the antioxidant effect of turmeric appears to be so powerful that it may stop your liver from being damaged by toxins. This could be good news for people who take strong drugs for diabetes or other health conditions that might hurt their liver with long-term use. nice video that cooking is on point up up that salad looks good I am going to try it, i enjoyed watching🏆🇦🇺🇯🇲

@@Red_747 I like Mokko, and it's sad that there'is enmity between him and Matthew. I would hope that they would collaborate again in the future. I have enjoyed all of their fine videos. To be fair I have only seen a few of Mokkos videos without Matt early on, and they were lacking a certain polish. I'll check him out, I always have time for him and his lovely family. Ras kitchen was awesome 👍

[@georgeyoung9866]

Nice video Matt, but I'm curious about the relationship between the Rasta man and the young girl.

[@MonaLisa-ww3ys]

I'm glad you mentioned it. When I stayed at his airbnb he had a different YOUNG girl sleeping in his bed. I could hear them at night. She was just as young and timid. Noticed how they didn't show the actual airbnb? It's poorly ventilated and full of mold. Its literally an unfinished house in a residential community called Fairy Hill. I was so disappointed. I initially booked for one month because I was expecting to have a serene getaway. I have pictures of the filthy place, shit in the toilet and video audio of him and this YOUNG girl having. Thankfully I got a full refund and got accommodation elsewhere.

[@everythingbeautifulalways6118]

What a hell... food for thought... hmmm

[@dbhenry22]

@@MonaLisa-ww3ys See now. That young girl look like a runaway that he's using for pleasure. I picked up on everything you're saying. Sick. That's how some of the runaway children end up in the hands of predators

[@grindgreen4842]

even if she is at the age of consent, she is still way to young. My opinion. It is too strange when there are women in there 30s hell even 29 will do at least that would allow a young woman to live a little bit and and grow mentally and mature more.
