When our foreign-living local Trinbagonians land on the island, many run to the beach for bake and shark. But Natasha Laggan, the lady behind the YouTube channel Trini Cooking with Natasha created this recipe, taking inspiration from a local pork street food dish called "Wallap". If this is your first time hearing of wallap, you’re not alone. Wallap is Trinidad’s best kept secret, it is a toss up of chicken and french fries sautéed with onions, bell peppers and chives tossed in French’s condiments.
Whether you’re eating this straight from the wok late at night or making a quick and easy dinner, wallap is the way to go.
