Salted pigtail with dumplings & lentils bouillon (St. Lucian One POT)

salted pigtail

🥗Healthier: smoked turkey

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Smoked turkey provides a leaner option while maintaining flavor.

dumplings

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dumplings

💰Cheaper: store-bought dumplings

Whole wheat dumplings add fiber without sacrificing taste.

lentils

🥗Healthier: split peas

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are often more affordable and provide similar texture.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: vinegar

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Vinegar adds acidity and is often less expensive.

Add salted pig tails to a large pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until the pigtails are tender.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and a pinch of salt; gradually add 1/4 cup water to form a dough for dumplings.

Chop potatoes and carrots, and add them to the pot along with lentils and green seasoning.

Stir in the spices: all purpose, black pepper, curry, and mixed herbs.

Add frozen spinach and scotch bonnet pepper to the pot.

Top up with 2 cups of water as necessary and continue to simmer until everything is cooked through.
