Festival is a classic Jamaican street snack made by shaping a lightly sweet cornmeal-and-flour dough into cylinders and deep-frying them; this recipe deliberately fries extra portions, designed to use up leftover hot sauce from another dish. Drizzled over the fried festival, the hot sauce creates a sharp contrast with the sweet dough.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

10 min

Mix the flour with the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt, add the warm water a little at a time to form a soft dough, cover and rest for 10 minutes.

2

Shape the dough

10 min

Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each one between your palms into a thin cylinder.

3

Fry

10 min

Heat the vegetable oil and fry the cylinders for 10 minutes until golden on every side.

4

Serve with hot sauce

3 min

Drain the fried festival on paper towels, drizzle the leftover hot sauce over the top and serve hot.

Reminder

Don't roll the cylinders too thin; overly thin dough hardens quickly in the hot oil and can stay raw inside. Allergens: contains gluten (flour).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

This recipe deliberately fries two extra portions; once cooled, keep them in a sealed container and reheat them for a few minutes the next day to serve them freshly.
