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.
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.
This is a traditional Trinidadian sweet that used to be popular with children. It’s still available from select stores but it’s now more of a specialty item. Haven’t made this in years but now that I have a child it’s time to dust off this recipe.
