Description
A traditional Trinidadian stew made with leafy greens, onions, garlic, and Scotch bonnet peppers.
Technical
The long cooking time and high heat break down the cell walls of the leafy greens, making them tender and flavorful. The acidity of the Scotch bonnet peppers helps to break down the cell walls, while the high water content of the greens contributes to a decrease in pH and a thicker texture.
