Since I'm now living in NY I have been forced to make variations based on the availability of ingredients. I share these with you just in case you are in the same situation. Check out the recipe on my blog for all variations! This recipe is decadent and cheesy and I guarantee you will love it!
1 lb (16 oz) raw elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 lb sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded** )
1 lb mozzarella, shredded
2 ½ cups evaporated milk
2 eggs, whisked, optional
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
2 tablespoons organic ketchup
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt (for boiling pasta)
Habanero (finely chopped, seeded or unseeded), or hot sauce--OPTIONAL
2 fresh pimento peppers, chopped, optional
**If "Trinidad Cheese"/New Zealand Cheddar Cheese is not available, use Cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar cheese, or cabot extra sharp cheddar. Cheese can be expensive so look out for those sales and stock up!!!
1. Using the large side of box grater or a food processor, shred cheese. Mix together and divide in half.
2. In a bowl (or large measuring cup), mix eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard and black pepper (also add hot , pimento pepper or hot sauce if using).
3. Bring a large pot of water (4 to 5 quarts) to a rapid boil. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir for the first minute or two to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente(about 8 minutes) and drain.
4. While pasta is still hot, place into the same pot it was boiled in. Add butter and mix until melted. Add half of cheese and mix until combined. Stir in milk and egg mixture.
5. Pour into a greased baking/casserole dish. Top with remaining half of grated cheese.
6. Place in a preheated oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook until golden brown, about 30-45 minutes(took 43 minutes in my oven).

Ria is not speaking with an accent. The lady was brought up (prim and proper). That means she speaks proper English because that’s the way she was brought up. I speak the same way and it’s not because I live in the United States, I have been speaking like this since I was a child. My mother wouldn’t have it any other way. By the way we speak the King’s English in Trinidad at least when I was living there.

@beyourself2444 2 жыл бұрын

My coworker speaks proper English as well, he’s a lawyer and his mom was a teacher in Trinidad, so that’s how he was raised.

Proper English, yes, but slightly Americanized accent as well, probably because she's lived there for some time. That aside, she articulates herself so well and it's one of my favorite things about her content.

@ChriseyApple 4 жыл бұрын

Correct English and Accent are two different things. Speaks ok but I personally cant stand hearing Ts pronounced as Ds...like budder and ead. Its pretentious especially when content is about Trini food.

Garnet Beharry Garnet Beharry sorry to disappoint you but I've been living in America for almost 25 years. Doesn't make me any less of a Trinidadian because of the way I speak or where I live. I am very proud of my culture and heritage that's why I am inspired to share my skills and talents. I love my people and country but I wish Trinidadians were less criticizing and more supportive like other cultures.

Fake? Water down? Smh, you've never spent a significant amount of time overseas, have you? Its hurts me in this comment section, to see just how much Trini's hate on their own kinfolk. You came for her recipe and impeccable presentation but, how typical, that you nit pick instead of commend and thank her for what she just gave you free of charge. Smh
