📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Coconut dumplings are an essential side for the national dish of stewed saltfish. Grated coconut is kneaded into flour dough, shaped into flat dumplings, and boiled in salted water. Their chewy texture and faint coconut sweetness suit the salt cod stew.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a kitchen on St. Kitts, white dough flecked with coconut is shaped into flat rounds and dropped one after another into a pot of boiling water.
