Festival (Jamaican Fried Dumpling)
Slightly sweet, cornmeal-enriched fried dumplings, the essential sidekick to jerk and fried fish.
Why It Works
Cornmeal gives a gritty crunch that contrasts with the fluffy interior; a touch of sugar caramelizes during frying for golden color and subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with spicy jerk.
