These delicious snacks are served on the side of the road down Trinidad way. Kind of like the Fast Food of the Caribbean. This recipe comes from the book A Taste of the Tropics by Jay Solomon, since I could not get anyone to share their secret recipe.
This IS a WONDERFUL SOUP. And look at the list, just a few ingredients! I came up with lots of GREAT ideas for the contest, but when I asked my friends what they liked best, they always mentioned this humble soup! How funny is that? The rum really makes a difference. It is added at the very end, so if you have kids at the table and you’re worried about it, just serve them first and add the rum later. You may want to leave it out altogether, but just let me tell you one more time that the RUM IS a LOVELY ADDITION. I use Patak’s curry paste which is available in Asian stores where I live. Madras is labelled as a hot paste and Korma as mild. I’ve also tried a Patak’s paste called HOT/TRES EPICE which I do NOT RECOMMEND.
This juicy chicken and tangy cream sauce are wonderful for lunch or supper. On the go? These are great warm or cold and make great lunch, picnic or beach fare! They are very portable when wrapped in foil. Perfect with fresh island fruit and a cold tropical drink! RSC#8 3rd place
This is a recipe my mother-in-law picked up on her vacation in Cabo! We are all thankful she brought it back to share with us. Hope you guys enjoy it, too!
Entered for safe-keeping, this is a little spicier than other Tijuana Torte recipe on food.com. Found in California Sizzles. Should still be kid-friendly if you use mild salsa and canned diced green chiles, depending on your child’s palate.
