Trini Mango Chow

Visiting a BBQ this summer?  Try this dish, loved by all.
It's basically a yummy, spicy, fruit salad made of mango.  We have been known to add in other fruits too like apples.  It's simple to make, delicious and refreshing.  

 And everyone requests it when I go to BBQ's. 

 Trini Mango Chow
Mangos (as many as you need)
Shado Beni (season to taste)
Lime 
Garlic
Tiny bit of scorpion pepper
(all season to taste)
Chop up ... the finer the better.

And it's not just for BBQ's.  It's loved all year round! Give it a try!

Dad's Famous Ship Soup (Beef Soup) On a cold, damp rainy day , there is nothing better than my Dad's Famous Ship Soup .  Everyone in the family knows this as his speciality and it is one of my favorite memories of him.   Marinate beef neck bones with green seasoning (shado beni, garlic, scallions, ginger), salt and pepper.  Let it marinate for 45 minutes to an hour.  Bring water to a boil, add ginger, garlic and onions and the marinated beef neck bones to it for 45 minutes - hour.  Let it simmer until the beef is tender.  While that is cooking, you can peel and cut carrots into wedges, brown potato and cut them in half (and leave with the skin - and scrub them) and when the beef is tender you add carrots and potatoes and let it cook for about 15 minute.  Then top it off with watercress and add that to the soup and it's ready to eat.   Delish!
