    I'm from Barbados, and when I heard that Tyler was going to make Cou Cou, I was a bit scared for him....Tyler sorry but Cou Cou is not made that way.
    There is no chicken broth, corn, onions in Cou Cou...The okras are cut up and boil first....Sorry can't give you the full recipe now.....and the chicken was also done wrong....I'm so sorry.

    I LOVE okra and was looking for a new recipe. I tried this one last night and it was unappetising! After the cornmeal cools, it has the consistancy of cold oatmeal; sticky, heavy and just plain blah! While the corn, onion and okra gave off a wonderful aroma, it was quickly ruined when the vegtables drowned in the cornmeal quicksand. Would have been better if the veggies were folded into cornBREAD mix.

    Tyler didn't say how much onion to add to the skillet, but on the show it looked like one large onion chopped.

    This was delicious. I have 1 question: the recipe says to cook the onion until it begins to soften, but there are no onions listed in the ingredients. I am a new cook and I like everything measured out just right so this made me nervous. However, I chopped up about 3/4 cup onion and used it in the recipe anyway.
