Ali’s Doubles
“There’s Doubles, and then there’s Ali’s Doubles!” Based on Avé’s grandmother’s original recipes, this is a very rare opportunity to enjoy a real Ali’s Double right here in Toronto. Warm channa nestled between 2 baras, topped with tamarind & coconut chutneys, cucumber, and hot peppa on the side.
Geera Pork with Roasted Peppa Pumpkin Rice
In this classic island dish, slow-cooked chunks of pork are infused with the aroma of geera, (cumin), a legacy of the Indian influence in Trinidadian cuisine (that, and it is also the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper!) It is served with a savoury rice cooked with choka sweet peppers, pumpkin and coconut, as well as Green Bean Créolé (with local and seasonal beans straight from the farm), and Multani, a spicy condiment of smashed fire-roasted hot peppers and veggies.
Also available #vegetarian, with Geera Gandules (pigeon peas), a hearty legume with a subtle nutty flavour.
Soursop Ice Cream
Soursop, also known as guanabana and graviola, is a favourite fruit throughout the Caribbean; tangy, fragrant and tropical, it makes and exquisite ice cream.
