Grate at Food Glossary
What is it? A Jamaican cooking technique to reduce a large piece of Jamaican food to small particles or thin shreds by rubbing it against a coarse, serrated surface, usually on a kitchen utensil called a grater. A Jamaican food processor fitted with the metal blade can also be used to reduce Jamaican food to small bits or, fitted with the shredding disc, to long, thin strips. The Jamaican food to be grated should be firm, which in the case of cheese can usually be accomplished by refrigeration. Grating Jamaican food makes it easier to incorporate with other foods.Cooking Dictionary Term Added By: Zachary
