About

If there is a multipurpose gravy in the Caribbean, it’s this sauce. It’s similar to Onion Gravy, but the tomato paste gives it a bright orange color. It’s terrific on Cou-Cou.

Add the garlic, raise the heat to medium, and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in the pepper, paprika, and curry powder, then stir in the water and tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes
