Guyana Pepperpot

"Not to be confused with the Jamaican name for Callaloo, a soup or stew made with dark greens."

Guyanese Pepperpot is an Amerindian dish popular in Guyana. It is traditionally served at Christmas and other special events; it is also Guyana's national dish.

Pepperpot is typically a stewed meat dish, strongly flavored with cinnamon, hot peppers, and Cassareep - a special sauce made from the Cassava root. Beef, mutton, and pork are the most popular meats used, though some have been known to use chicken. Pepperpot is popularly served with dense bread and butter, though it is equally as good with rice or roti. Versions of the dish are also served in several other countries in the Caribbean, including Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and St. Vincent.
