Poree

Poree is a traditional dish from the Caribbean, particularly popular in the island of Dominica. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including pork, beef, or chicken, along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. The dish is often flavored with spices like thyme, allspice, and Scotch bonnet peppers, which give it a distinctive, slightly spicy taste. Poree is typically served with rice or dumplings, and it is a staple in Caribbean cuisine, often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions. The name "poree" is derived from the French word "purée," reflecting the dish's smooth, stew-like consistency.
