AUTHENTIC TRINIDAD PEPPERPOT

Steps:

• n a very large heavy-bottomed pan (with a lid), add all the spices, the sugar, vinegar, Worcester sauce and oil. Heat gently and mix thoroughly until you get a thick brown paste.
• Add the meat and coat in the paste, leave to simmer (not fry!) for a few minutes with the lid on the pan. Be careful because the sugar can burn easily and you don't want the meat to go too hard.
• Add rum to sizzle up and look professional!
• Chop all the vegetables into long thin slices. Bung in to the pan, and add enough water to cover everything.
• Keeping the lid on the pan, let it simmer for as long as possible - it can keep going for several hours, but watch it to stop it drying out; it should be a sort of gravy consistency. Finally, add the chilli sauce and the coriander in the last ten minutes of cooking.
• Serve on top of a bed of red rice.
