Guyanese pepperpot

Guyana · Latin America

Short description: This dark, aromatic stew gets its color and depth from cassareep and long, gentle cooking.
Ingredients: Slow-cooked meat with cassareep, hot pepper, thyme, onion, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
Cultural note: The stew is strongly associated with Christmas meals and can be reheated over several days as the flavor deepens.
Common misconception: Its dark color is not just browning; cassareep gives the stew much of its color and flavor.
