My mother has made Trinidadian Chicken Pelau all my life. She started making it when she and my father lived in Trinidad while my father went to University. I remember eating Pelau on weekends when we had painting parties at our home on St. George's Hill and it was always a staple on Sundays at the beach. Pelau is a meal in one... meat, vegetables, the starch from the rice. Chicken Pelau always makes me think of my home in Montserrat... fond memories of a time long past.
