Trini Stew Beef with Lime Pepper Sauce ~ Sweet Bread
| Description | Over the centuries, colonial rule and immigration have left Trinidad with an incredibly diverse ethnic mix of people from South America, Africa, India, Europe and China - this is reflected in the food, as seen in this recipe for Trini stew beef. Stew has its roots in European cookery, the caramelisation of sugar is distinctively Caribbean and finally we’ve got some Chinese and South American flavourings in the form of five spice and habanero chilli! The stew is served with mashed squash, green beans, a fruity apple kuchela and the quintessential Trinidad lime pepper sauce. For dessert we’ve got Trini sweet bread, packed full of dried fruit and coconut and flavoured with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. |

I can’t eat coconut so decided to make but with flour instead! Delicious warm with a cuppa. Afraid I couldn’t wait to sample after the stew.
First review since we started about 10 years ago. Absolutely stunning, fabulous, delicious stew with accompanying sides and added a few popadoms for extras. Plenty left for easy tea tomorrow after work. Sweet bread also 5 out of 5, so good i passed it round neighbours whist still warm, they want the recipe! Only downside, went on shop for replacement and its out of stock - nooooooooo! Sorry forgot to take picture as we were so hungry :) Keep up the great work Steve and Trace
Thanks for your brilliant review, Steve and Trace! It's fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed this Trini feast! This was quite a recent spicebox so we won't be making more of this box until December 25, however you can use the 'Make it again' spices on the recipe card to recreate the blends using spices that you're likely to have at home. Plus we do have some more terrific Trini recipes available here: https://www.thespicery.com/catalog/search?q=Trinidad Happy spicing!
This was absolutely amazing. I used broccoli instead of green beans and it worked fine. Excellent as always from The Spicery!!
Looks like a delicious, nourishing meal - great job! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Recipe was really interesting, a blend of different cuisines resulting with an almost British style stew with some interesting twists and kicks!
We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the interesting combination of flavours in this sunny Trini stew!
This is the easiest to make dish I've had from Spicery and each dish was full of big flavours. I didn't expect the stew to be so tangy either. My favourite recipe so far!
It's great to hear that this has been your favourite recipe so far, Alan! We're so pleased that you found it both simple to make and BIG on flavour!
Absolutely mouthwatering....taste explosion!
This all looks delicious, Tricia - great job! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it too. Happy spicing!
Loved it . So tasty . All the accompaniments were perfect for the dish . Had it for a Easter Sunday - very non traditional !
There's nothing wrong with throwing tradition out the window sometimes, especially when the alternative looks as good as this! Great job, Trish - we're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed it.
Wow this recipe was stunning. It was exciting putting ingredients together than we never would have thought to put together, but surprisingly worked well! Its opened my eyes to experimenting even more. Def making this dish again!
This all looks fantastic, Hannah - great job! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed it, and that it's encouraged you to experiment some more in the kitchen. Happy spicing!
Hi not the best pic I'm afraid but we couldn't wait to try it. During lockdown trying a different cuisine saturday night to try and keep a special day. My son bought me a subscription to The Spicery as a Mother's day present and what a brilliant thoughtful gift. We loved it my son has travelled all over the world before covid and eaten lots of different dishes so its high praise that he said it was one of the interesting things he'd eaten for a long time. Made the bread yesterday and its delicious. Can't wait for next box. Thank you all. Kind regards Sheila
Thank you, will keep you posted.
My daughter, who would call herself a baker, rather than a cook, made the wonderfully delicious feast for me for Mother’s Day! The lime pepper sauce had more spicy heat than was expected, but the stew was unbelievably flavourful and moist. Can’t wait to try another recipe.
She can definitely call herself a cook after creating this - it looks great and sounds like it went down a treat! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed it.
Absolutely lovely !
This looks like a delicious, warming meal - and it looks even better on your gorgeous patterned tablecloth! Great work!
Very tasty stew, not something we normally make so a welcome change. The lime pepper sauce was hot hot hot!
It's great to mix things up sometimes and try something completely different - we're so glad you enjoyed your taste of the Caribbean! And how sweet is your little one - we love to see mini Spicerers!
There’s a bit of prep work but once that is done, the whole process is quite easy. We enjoyed this meal as I’m not sure we have ever tried foods from this region before. The sides were all delicious!
Nice one, those green beans looks great! It's always fun to try something completely different, and we hope this has given you a taste for Caribbean cooking now!
Omg this was amazing!!
YUM this looks so flavoursome and delicious- epic!
The flavours are out of this world. We will definitely be ordering this again. It’s like heaven on a plate.
Woohoo thanks for your amazing feedback- everything looks so dreamy and delicious!
Really delicious, all the elements worked beautifully together.
This meal looks marvellous, great shout washing it down with an ice- cold beer too, now we just need some Trini sunshine!
The macaroni was so good! And I loved how the lime-pepper sauce and the green beans brought a freshness that balanced the whole meal out. Only problem was our stew - not enough liquid so it caught a bit and then when we added more the seasoning seemed to get out if balance. Didn't really matter though!
This looks delicious Hattie, glad you enjoyed it! We're sorry you found that there wasn't enough liquid in the stew- if you want any specific advice about a recipe you can contact us and we will be more than happy to help!
The Caribbean recipes are one of my favourites....amazing flavours!
Looks like it all came out perfectly!
