Tropical Tasting Pepper Sauce



Due to the extreme success of my pepper sauce, I am going to focus on my small but gradually growing empire and will have the restaurant under new management. I am still the owner of the restaurant, but will not be running the operations solely myself. I am excited about the success of my sauce and want to bring that success to the next level.

Soon you will be able to purchase the Tropical Tasting Pepper Sauce online at www.tropicaltasting.com

This restaurant have been the lesson of a life time. I didn't realize how much hard work goes into the business, but willing to stick it out. I have met so many wonder people, had so many laughs and learned so much about myself. I'm stronger than I thought I was. I have no regrets. The sky is the limit.

A Crunchy Veggie Dish



So at the restaurant a lot of people seem to like my crunchy fresh vegetable dish. It really is a simple steamed dish to make, that anyone could do, I just happen to add a few special ingredients that makes the tropical tasting veggie dish extra tasty of course. I will share the basic ingredients and procedure and you could add your specialty.


Ingredients:
cabbage
yellow, green and red bell peppers
carrots
salt and pepper

Get to work:
You should have a medium size pot that "could" hold four cups of water (BUT DON'T ADD WATER< THE VEGGIES WILL DO THAT THEMSELVES)
cut all of the veggies into elongated strips not cubes (its easier to handle and easier to eat)
boil the carrots separately since they take the longest to cook (you will add them later)
add all of the other veggies to the pot to a medium heat
add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of black pepper
close the pot with the lid and have it sit on the fire for about 15 minutes
then add the carrots after they're soft enough to your liking
mix all together and there you have it, simple crunchy vegetables

Roti are eaten several ways here are two types of roti bakes, plain and with dhal (ground yellow split peas inserted into the dough). The latter is known as Dhalpurie Roti or just plain Dhalpurie. Both kinds of roti bake are folded or eaten with the hands like a sandwich.
