Trinidadian Recipes

Trinidadian cuisine is arguably the Caribbean's most diverse, reflecting the island's Indian, African, Chinese, Syrian, Spanish, and British heritage. Doubles (curried chickpeas in fried bread), roti (flatbread with curried fillings), and callaloo are defining street foods. Pelau (rice with meat and pigeon peas cooked in caramel), crab and dumpling, and bake and shark showcase the multicultural fusion. Carnival season brings special foods, and Trinidadian pepper sauces are legendary for their heat.
