Adapted from Sweet Hands: Island Cooking from Trinidad & Tobago by Ramin Ganeshram. prep time includes the hour for letting dough rest while you do other things. It does not including the extra rising time. You can make the filling while the dough rests

Trinidad Green Seasoning

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT5. From Sweet Hands: Island Cooking From Trinidad And Tobago. Green seasoning is used in many Caribbean dishes, and the recipe varies by country. Trinidad’s uses shado beni (Mexican cilantro), a local herb very much like cilantro. Fresh shado beni can sometimes be found in West Indian markets but, if not, fresh cilantro is a good substitution.

Trinidad Mango Salsa

A very simple caribbean salsa which can be stored for up to a month and used as a condiment on vegetables or fish, or just serve it with chips. Not for the faint of heart (or should I say heat!) Of course, the heat depends on the size and heat of your chili. From Sundays at Moosewood.
