Red Beans (Trinidad)
A typical Trinidadian side dish that is quick and easy to prepare for those busy week nights. You can’t mess this up it’s so easy. The measurements given are just guidelines, adjust to your preference.
Trinidad Corn Soup
Extremely popular at Carnival time. It can be bought piping hot from street vendors and is served at most carnival fêtes. West Indian corn is more starchy and less sweet than the North American variety but I don’t imagine that other varieties of corn would detract from the flavour of this dish. Goes a lot faster if done in a pressure coooker. For the dumplings refer to recipe#183964
Kicked up Baked Sweet Potatoes
They serve these at a local restaurant here in TX. This is NOT a casserole! These guys are dressed for dinner in their best jackets! The WHOLE potato, baked and split like a white baked potato. You just gotta try these to believe how simple and delish they really are! Enjoy!
Tropical Coconut Bread
Having a Luau party? Then this is a must but, you’ll want to make this throughout the year. The smell alone will get your significant other to release their grip on the remote, the kids will drift out of their bedrooms and the neighbors might come knocking. I dare to say, this might even be an aphrodisiac! It’s great alone but if you’re adventurous, slice some strawberries on it or drizzle chocolate syrup over it and top it with some whipped cream.
