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.
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.
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.
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.
One of my favorites! Actually I think last night I may have had one too many. They taste so good, you forget what it is. And you get all the calcium you need for the day. What a drink! This is supposed to be made with half and half, but its too heavy for me, so I use low-fat milk. Ingredient amounts can be adjusted to personal preference.
