From the Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago & the Caribbean Naparima Girls’ High School Cookbook. This is dairy free and has lemon juice and lime rind…Mmmm. Recipe doesn’t say how long to bake so I guessed the time. Also, not sure what “cut with a knife to remove air bubbles” means!
A Caribbean take on a classic. Super quick with less fat and calories than a traditional Quiche Lorraine. The flour mimics the ‘body’ of the traditional Quiche. The mild, flavourful, Trinidad Capsicum chinense peppers breathe new life into an old favourite. These peppers are a uniquely flavoured habenero with an almost undetectable heat. Locally they go by the name pimento or seasoning peppers. To Trinidadians they are as invaluable as salt. We put them in practically everything we cook. We use them to ‘season’ meats, and a host of other dishes. Serve with a salad and for those indulgent moments a glass of white wine for dinner, or have a slice for breakfast. I usually make two pies and freeze one for later on in the month.You can use any kind of mild pepper that appeals to your taste and is available to you locally for this recipe. I have also made this using red and green sweet peppers and it’s just as delicious. Roasted red peppers would be great too.
From The Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago and the Caribbean, Naparima Girls’ High School Cookbook which I borrowed. The recipe doesn’t say what kind of cheese so you choose your favorite. For a variation, you can add grated onions or carrots, chopped herbs and tomato.
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!
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.
