Chaudage: chodaj in Creole comes from the French word échauder: to soak in hot water.

Ingredients:

300g pork, cubed
300g lean beef, cubed
1 habanero chilli (keep whole)
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 onion, finely chopped
6 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 cives, finely chopped
2 sprigs of thyme
6 garlic cloves, minced

Method:

Place the onion, cives, thyme and garlic in a large pot. Pour in enough water so that it will cover the meat. Bring to a boil then add the meat.

Bring back to a boil, reduce to a simmer than add the parsley. Stir to combine and drop in the whole chilli. Cover the pot and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Remove the chilli (you can serve this on a plate with a little of the stock so anybody who likes their dish spicy can mash the chilli and add to their dish).

Serve the Chaudage accompanied by Creole black pudding and a starchy accompaniment: plantains, breadfruit, yams, sweet potatoes, cassava, tannia, etc.
