Treat Yourself to the Taste of the Tropics.
The new world cuisine of the Caribbean, with its emphasis on only
the freshest ingredients and seasonings, offers an exciting blend
of taste sensations. Caribbean cuisine has been influenced by
many culinary disciplines, including European, African, and Asian
to name a few. Chef Esteban Torres takes his inspiration from
this wonderful palette of regional specialties.

Chef's Note: This dish was originally prepared with Jamaican Scotch Bonnet peppers. I used Jalapeno peppers to make the heat of the dish more tolerable. If you wish to make the dish the original way, please be careful. The Scotch Bonnet (Habenero in Mexico) is 100 times hotter than the Jalapeno. After cutting them, please do not touch your eyes (or anything else) until you have washed your hands very carefully.
