TRINIDAD PELAU
Pelau is a stew from Trinidad made with either beef or chicken. The unique flavor comes from searing the meat in caramelized sugar then simmering with rice, coconut milk, and pigeon peas. Serve accompanied by slices of tomato, avocadoes, or cucumber.

Steps:
- If using dried peas, soak them overnight in 3 cups of water. Drain. Bring 3 fresh cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and add the peas. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until cooked almost completely through. Drain and set aside. If using canned beans, drain, rinse with cold water, drain again, and set aside. Wash the rice by placing it in a colander or fine-mesh sieve and running cold water over it until the water runs clear, about 1 minute. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or other heavy, deep pot. Add the sugar and swirl in the pot, stirring constantly; allow it to caramelize to a dark brown color. Add the chicken and stir well to coat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 2 cups of water, the coconut milk, bay leaf, Green Seasoning, parsley, thyme, carrots, and scallions. Season with salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir the rice, squash, peas, hot pepper, ketchup, and butter into the chicken. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the peas and vegetables are tender. Remove lid and fluff the rice. The rice should be moist but not sticky. Remove bay leaf, thyme sprig, and hot pepper.
- Note: Pigeon peas are traditional in this dish, but pinto beans or black-eyes peas also work well because, like pigeon peas, they hold their shape well after cooking. Brown sugar is preferable for deeper flavor and color. Chicken is the most common meat in pelau, but cuts of stew beef or lamb work just as well. If using meat, up the cooking time before adding the rice to 40 minutes to allow the meat to get tender. In Tobago, pelau is often made with crab. West Indian pumpkin (also called calabaza) is ideal for this recipe, although the pie or "cheese" pumpkin common in the U.S., if in season, makes a very good substitute. Butternut squash will also work, although it will be slightly less sweet.

- Toss together beef with 1/2 cup Green Seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the pepper sauce in a medium bowl until combined; cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- In a 10-quart pot, stir together 6 tablespoons turbinado sugar and 1/4 cup oil until combined. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar turns dark brown and begins to foam, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and immediately add marinated beef and any remaining marinade. Cook, turning pieces occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup onion, remaining 1 cup Green Seasoning, and garlic and cook until onion is slightly translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon of pepper sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding 3 to 4 cups water as needed, a cup at a time, until beef is mostly tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. (The meat should have a little bit of liquid around it; you will know to add more water if the meat starts frying instead of simmering.) Remove pot from heat and transfer beef to a large bowl using a slotted spoon; pour cooking liquid into a separate large bowl. Clean the pot and return to the stove.
- Combine remaining 6 tablespoons turbinado sugar and remaining 1/4 cup oil in cleaned 10-quart pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar turns dark brown and begins to foam, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add pigeon peas, rice, and remaining 1 cup onion and cook, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent and mixture is coated with caramelized sugar, about 5 minutes; season with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
