HOT PEPPER SAUCE - A TRINIDADIAN STAPLE



Hot Pepper Sauce - A Trinidadian Staple image

Trinidadians LOVE their 'peppa' sauce, and this one is full of flavour and heat! Sooooo easy to make -- no cooking, just your blender to create this taste of the islands. Try using different peppers to vary the flavour and heat. Use over meats, in sandwiches and stews. Trinis use it in anything savoury!

TRINIDAD PEPPER QUICHE



Trinidad Pepper Quiche image

A Caribbean take on a classic. Super quick with less fat and calories than a traditional Quiche Lorraine. The flour mimics the 'body' of the traditional Quiche. The mild, flavourful, Trinidad Capsicum chinense peppers breathe new life into an old favourite. These peppers are a uniquely flavoured habenero with an almost undetectable heat. Locally they go by the name pimento or seasoning peppers. To Trinidadians they are as invaluable as salt. We put them in practically everything we cook. We use them to 'season' meats, and a host of other dishes. Serve with a salad and for those indulgent moments a glass of white wine for dinner, or have a slice for breakfast. I usually make two pies and freeze one for later on in the month.You can use any kind of mild pepper that appeals to your taste and is available to you locally for this recipe. I have also made this using red and green sweet peppers and it's just as delicious. Roasted red peppers would be great too.

Time 30m

Yield 2 pies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells (frozen works well)
10 slices bacon, fried crisp (diced) or 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
1 cup swiss cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (bacon is usually salty enough for me) (optional)
2 teaspoons black peppercorns (crushed)
2 cups evaporated milk, for a creamier texturre or 2 cups cream, for a creamier texture
6 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 onion (finely chopped)
8 pimento pepper (Trinidad Capsicum chinense.Use a mix of red and green for visual appeal)

Steps:

  • Crumble 5 slices fried bacon in unbaked pie shell and cover with 1/2 cup cheese. The rest of the bacon and cheese goes into the other shell. I tend to use back bacon as there is less visible fat than the streaky kind.
  • Combine flour, salt and crushed peppercorns, add evaporated milk and eggs. Really any kind of milk works well depends on how rich you want it. I use skimmed milk.
  • Blend well and add chopped onion and chopped peppers . Pour into pie shells.
  • Bake in a pre heated oven at 375 degrees F for 20 - 25 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean.
  • Slice and serve with a salad or use mini pastry shells for hors d'oeuvres.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Quality Trinidad Peppers: Choose high-quality Trinidad peppers that are ripe and flavorful. If you can't find fresh Trinidad peppers, you can use dried peppers, but adjust the amount you use accordingly.
  • Properly Prepare the Peppers: Wear gloves when handling Trinidad peppers and be careful not to touch your eyes or nose. Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers to reduce the heat level.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor makes it easy to quickly and evenly chop the vegetables and cheese for the quiche filling.
  • Blind Bake the Crust: Blind baking the crust before adding the filling helps to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't Overmix the Filling: Overmixing the filling can make the quiche tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Quiche Until Set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Trinidad pepper quiche is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and spicy kick, this quiche is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
