About
Duckunoo or duckanoo, also referred to as tie-a-leaf, blue drawers (draws), dokonon, and dukunou, is a dessert in Jamaica, Belize, Haiti, Antigua and Barbuda, St Vincent, French Guiana and some other islands in the Lesser Antilles. It is a variation of tamale, which originated in Mesoamerica as early as 8000 to 5000 BC. The Caribbean dish, which has Amerindian and African influences, is typically made from sweet potato, coconut, cornmeal, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla, all tied up in a banana leaf, and then cooked in boiling water. Recipes vary across the region.
