Cilantro Oil(Guam)

A quick spurt of herb oil does wonders for tuna, shrimp or scallops, polenta, risotto and cooked or uncooked salads. You can keep this oil in a plastic spray bottle! Clayton Babas, Executive Chef, at the Guam Reef Hotel makes this for the guests.

Callaloo (Trinidad)

This is a traditional West Indian recipe, which will vary slightly from island to island………this version is from Trinidad. Don’t be put off by the look–it tastes delicious. (I don’t cook with salt, so some may need to be added for personal taste.)

Passionfruit Cocktail (Trinidad)

A yummy tropical drink from Trinidad/Tobago. Passionfruit in the Caribbean and Central America are yellow and are sweeter than the purple ones found in the U.S. The purple ones also yield more juice. You might need to add more sugar if using the purple ones.

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.
