Oil Down

If there was one dish that really represents Grenadian cuisine, it is definitely the oil down. This is the traditional dish of the island, a stew of cod, herring or salted pork simmered in coconut milk with, to name a few, breadfruit and taro leaves. The name of this dish comes from the fact that it is cooked until all the coconut milk has been absorbed and only coconut oil remains at the bottom of the dish.
