Bammy

[Pepper]

A couple weeks ago I received two packages a bammy. I decided to prepare some for dinner last night. I read the package and the instructions suggested soaking in milk, water or pineapple juice.

I didn't have any pineapple juice at home, and have never used it for soaking bammy, but the idea aroused my taste buds.

The cooking instructions said after soaking the bammies could be fried or oven baked until crisp. I have never baked bammy before, but since we were having bammy, the least I could do was bake them. I Think I may have left them in a little too long. The package didn't say for how long or at what temp, so I went with 400 degrees and kept checking them for crispness.

They weren't bad at all. I"ll have to try this again (adjusting the temp and time).

Anybody ever soak them in pineapple juice or oven bake?

I've done the oven bake, it eliminate the oil, hmmm pineapple just gona try it for Easter

i run bammy quickly under a tap to wet the surface both sides, leave the water to soak in a bit, then split the bammy in quarters and fry in coconut oil (which gives it amazing flavour).

also just wet it and steam it a bit then and then smother it with fry fish and gravy.

i often wish the floppy bammy was more available than the 1/2 inch thick discs.

for some reason the soaking in pineapple juice is outside my comfort zone - something about it being sweet rather than savoury. i might try it tho.

What is floppy bammy?

that is the traditional bammy, large and thin. you can actually wrap them if you wanted. The thick ones i usually find over here in NA are the mass-produced ones.

defrost them overnight then cook as discussed in this thread.

you sure they are frozen and not just thick, tanya?
