Ingredients
In the St. Kitts and Nevis adaptation of Boutridia, we incorporate Caribbean flavors and ingredients to give the dish a unique twist. While the original Algerian Boutridia uses lamb or beef as the main protein, the St. Kitts and Nevis version can also include seafood, such as shrimp or fish, to reflect the Caribbean's abundant marine resources. Additionally, we introduce coconut milk to add a creamy and tropical element to the stew, enhancing the flavors and creating a richer texture. We alse have the original recipe for Boutridia, so you can check it out.
