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 Pumpkin Bread

A regular bread, not the sweet, cakelike type. Adapted from Breads of the World. Prep time includes rising time. Canned pumpkin is not recommended for this recipe.

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.

Trinidad and Tobago Garlic Sauce

The lime juice and salt mellow out the garlic flavor. This sauce was originally created for Shark and Bake, but it can be used with any grilled food. From the Barbecue Bible. If not serving this immediately, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
