Instrucciones
 

  • Add a pint of chicken stock to the simmer and put three tablespoons of sugar into a large saucepan on high; cook until the sugar caramelizes, then add the cubed chicken breasts and stir until the chicken browns.
  • Add chopped onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, jerk seasoning, salt, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper – do not cut up the pepper! Reduce the heat to low and let this simmer for 25 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, and add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Now add the first tablespoon of shortening, and with your fingers, rub the flour into the shortening until it forms a breadcrumb-like consistency.
  • Then add the second tablespoon of shortening and rub against the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Now add the third tablespoon of shortening and repeat the process.
  • You should by now have used all the flour. Your bowl should be all breadcrumb-like; if you still have fresh flour, use another tablespoon of shortening until your fresh flour is all used up.
  • Add a small amount of water and mix with a butter knife; keep adding small amounts until your mixture forms a soft dough.
  • Now dust your surface with flour and roll out your pastry; you want to roll wafer-thin rounds – this mixture should make at least 12 roti skins.
  • Cover with a tea towel while returning to the pot.
  • Now peel the potatoes and cube them into small bite-size pieces.
  • After 25 minutes of simmering, add 1/2 pint of water and the potatoes to the pool.
  • Now cover and cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
  • Turn a flat baking tray upside down, lightly cover with foil, and place on the stovetop on high; cook each roti skin for 1 minute on each side until brown but not crisp.
  • Now pile up your cooked roti skins, remove the pot after 30 minutes, and remove the whole scotch bonnet.
  • Take the entire pot to the table with a pile of plates; each person assumes the roti skin, lays it flat on the scale, spoons some filling into the middle of the roti skin, and folds around the filling eats enjoy.
