Florribean
Cuisine
(Whatever
next!)
MIAMI,
Florida (CNN) -- South Florida chefs are marrying the colors
and spices of Caribbean cooking with some traditional Florida
stand-bys to create what is becoming a regional favorite:
"floribbean" food.
"This
cuisine is the marriage of the familiar and the unfamiliar,"
says chef Allen Susser, a member of the so-called "mango
gang" of Florida chefs preparing "floribbean"
food. Susser has been cooking with Caribbean recipes for over
a decade.
"Floribbean"
food is lighter version of its Caribbean cousin, with less
frying and fewer oils involved in the preparation.
"Floribbean"
favorites include rock shrimp with roasted corn relish and
mango ketchup and Florida grouper served with chayote squash.
