Appetizers
The wonderful thing about my Caribbean vinaigrettes is their versatility.
They give a delicious twist to the most simple recipes. Try these quick and easy ideas!
Bread Dipper
Choose your favorite flavor.
Place in shallow dish so ingredients don’t separate.
Best with warm Italian bread or baguettes.
Garlic Bread
Spread Honey Mustard or Garlic Cilantro Vinaigrette on Italian loaf sliced lengthwise.
Bake in oven until lightly toasted. Slice and serve.
Shrimp Cocktail
Serve chilled shrimp with your choice of mango, passion fruit, papaya or tamarind vinaigrette as dip. Chilled vinaigrette works best.
Crab Tapa
Mix pre-cooked crab meat with mango or guava vinaigrette and chill.
Spoon crab mix on water crackers, crown with black seeded olives and serve.
Asparagus Olé
Steam fresh asparagus until tender. Serve on toast, bath with your choice of vinaigrette, add small slices of hard boiled egg, if desired. Top with red pimento slices (pre-cooked jar or canned).
Fried Calamari
Slice fresh calamari rings, rinse and drain. Lightly salt, dip in flour and fry in olive oil until golden. Place on paper towel to absorb extra oil. Use your choice of vinaigrette as a dip.
Tostones de Pana (Breadfruit fritters)
If you’re lucky enough to find Caribbean breadfruit in your area, try this delicious treat.
Peel and slice firm, green breadfruit like a canteloupe. Remove soft center and seeds.
Cut each slice into 2" chunks. Fry in extra virgin olive oil in deep frying pan.
Use enough oil so pieces slightly float. As they begin to brown remove from oil and drain on paper towel. In Puerto Rico we use a "tostonera" to crush and flatten each fritter before refrying. If not available, place paper towel on top and use a small saucer to flatten each piece. Place in hot oil again and remove when light brown. Sprinkle salt. Use you choice of vinaigrette as a dip.
