The hearty centerpiece of this unforgettable meal is Chef Ivy’s take on the famous ribs found on nearly every menu in St. Maarten, except in soul-satisfying stew form. The tender slow-braised pork and aromatic vegetables are seasoned with typical Caribbean spices, like allspice and cardamom, plus a mild cayenne kick. On the side, there’s fragrant Creole rice studded with Pigeon Peas and sweet corn kernels, plus caramelized plantains. It all adds up to an irresistible blend of savory and sweet that you’ll crave again and again.
