Trinidad and Tobago Rental Recipes

If you are reading this article I would guess that you have either a. been on holiday to Trinidad or Tobago or b. are thinking of going or c. are just interested in food or cooking. Whatever the reason welcome! I and my partner have purchased a property and are now going to rent it out. As a nice idea we came up with the concept of leaving a selection of recipes in our rental property for customers to prepare and enjoy. Hopefully over time customers will leave their own copies of recipes so we will build a portfolio, so we both gain. Do you have a recipe for food from this region you would like to share? If so write and share it with us in our blog. So to set you thinking here is typical recipe for chicken wings.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
small bunch fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 lemon, juiced and sliced
200ml/7fl oz sweet chilli sauce
For the chicken
1kg/2lb 2oz chicken wings
500g/1lb 1oz plain flour

1. To prepare the marinade, warm one tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan.
2. Add the chilli and garlic and fry gently over a low heat.
3. Add the curry powder, fresh thyme, lemon juice, lemon slices and the sweet chilli.
4. Stir over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
5. Place the chicken into a large dish or bowl and pour over the marinade. Mix well to coat the chicken thoroughly and place into the fridge to marinate for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
6. To cook the chicken wings, preheat the oven to 190C/385F/Gas 5.
6. Dredge the marinated chicken wings in a bowl of the flour and dust off the excess.
7. Dip the chicken wings into the marinade.
8. Cover a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and grease with olive oil to stop the wings sticking.
9. Place the chicken wings onto the greaseproof paper and transfer to the oven to roast for 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
10. Remove from the oven when cooked and place the wings into a serving bowl. Drizzle the lime juice over the wings and drizzle over the remaining sweet chilli. Serve with lime wedges.
