A flavoursome dish and very easy to make. I made as written, except for cutting back a bit on the cayenne pepper to accommodate a guest who isn't fully into spice. My reason for four stars is that I'm not all that in to Bahamian-style food. Not sure why. Perhaps it's the addition of sugar because I like all the other flavours independently. Served with a Bahamian-style rice dish.
