Fruit Chow
This refreshing and bright chow is just one of many dishes that show up in Cane chef Peter Prime’s take on a Trinidadian lime—a hangout, or in this case, a full-on roti lime feast. You can keep the fruit chunky, chop it the consistency of a pico de gallo, or blend it into a smooth sauce—the choice is yours. If you can’t find culantro (also known as chadon beni), you can use cilantro in a pinch, though the flavor will be much less intense. Serve it alongside Aloo and Chana, Tomato Choka, Curry Goat, and the main event: the flaky Buss Up Shut Paratha Roti.

Back to TopFirstly this article was terribly written and interpreted. Chow is mainly eaten as a snack and basically any fruit can be made into a chow. Very rushed and not well researched article. Only chutney is served alongside those dishes mentioned which is a grated chow. Please do better. Signed a Trinbagonian
