So I Was Missing Antigua and Made Macaroni Pie.......

       I was first introduced to macaroni pie on a trip to Antigua.  While staying at Jolly Harbour on a European meal plan the G.F. and I had a chance to explore some of the nearby eateries.  A particular favourite of ours was Miracle's South Coast Restaurant and Bar. ( http://www.miraclessouthcoast.com/ )  We had to go with the chef's special our first visit which was delicious Caribbean rock lobster.  On our second visit (I wish we found this place earlier during our stay, SO GOOD, for more info see: http://www.jayeatz.com/blog/so-your-at-jolly-harbour-antigua-and-your-hungry) I went with the curry goat with a side of macaroni pie.

       It is nothing like KD at all, really cheesy and super dense deliciousness and it's served cold, ingenious.  Fast forward to Jay Eatz being back in Canada and craving macaroni pie and Miracles being 3,411 kilometers away, what's a guy to do?  Make macaroni pie at home of course.  Unfortunately I didn't get the recipe from Miracles but I did find a suitable substitute until my next visit to Jolly Harbour.

Here is what you will need:
  • 1 lb elbow pasta 
  • 1 lb old cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 lb mozzarella cheese, grated 
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 1/2 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs 
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
2 bricks of cheese, old cheddar and mozzerella
Jay Eatz needs a bigger cheese grater.
       Here's how to make it.  Grate both cheeses, blend and divide in two.  In a large bowl mix evaporated milk, eggs, mustard, ketchup, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.  Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook pasta for about 8 minutes (or until al dente), drain, return to pot and add butter, stir.  Once butter is melted stir in half of the cheese mix.  Then add the milk and egg mixture.  Pour mixture into a greased 9x12 glass baking dish.  Top this mixture with the remaining half of cheese mix.  Pre-heat oven to 350 and bake for about 45 minutes or until top is golden brown.

       Then allow to cool and refrigerate, slice and serve (can be served warm but that's not the Caribbean way).
       Hopefully you will see a future post titled "So I went to Antigua and got Miracle's Restaurant's Macaroni Pie Recipe", until then enjoy.

Great to hear, let me know how it turns out, its best served cold but I find people that try it prefer it served hot.
