How To Make Trini Macaroni Pie | Foodie Nation x Chef Jeremy Lovell

National Culinary Team Captain, Chef Jeremy Lovell, stopped by to teach Kezzianne how he prepares a Trini Sunday Lunch essential, MACARONI PIE:
INGREDIENTS
2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 tbsp salted butter
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped pimento
4 oz grated carrots (optional)
2 tbsp chopped celery
4 oz Mayonnaise (optional)
2 large eggs
2 2/3 cups evaporated milk
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp white pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme
a pinch of cayenne pepper, optional
3½ cups grated New Zealand cheddar cheese (local cheese), reserve ½ cup for topping
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a 9x11 baking dish, and set aside.
3. Boil macaroni in salted water according to package directions. Once cooked, drain the macaroni and place back into the pot, leaving it off the heat to cool down.
4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, pimento carrots and celery, cook until softened and slightly caramelized. Scrape the mixture and melted butter into the pot with the macaroni. Stir to combine.
5. In a large bowl, beat eggs and mayonnaise together until fluffy. Add milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, dried thyme and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the macaroni and stir until well coated.
7. Stir in 3 cups of the shredded cheese.
8. Pour into a greased, 9x11 baking dish and top with reserved ½ cup of shredded cheese.
9. Bake until the pie is firm, and the top is golden brown. About 35-40 minutes.
10. Allow pie to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

[@geetasheehan5144]

I made this pie and we all love it!

[@SheldonTJohn]

Hello @FoodieNation. I moved from Trinidad over 10 years now and I’m always interested in learning new ways to make a Trini favourite. I just made the pie but instead of watching the video first, I followed the recipe. Interestingly though... the video and recipe included are different. For example, the recipe asked that after carmelisation of onions, pimento, etc., that they should be poured into the pot with the pasta. Contrasting this, the video shows that the chef combines milk, cheese and the pasta into the pot with the carmelised ingredients. Please note that this is not a complaint but simply pointing out that there is a difference. Thank you I know this recipe will be great nonetheless!!!!! Thank you for all great work you all do!

[@chefsabbaa7896]

My teacher, my mentor, what a decent human being.

[@anydae]

Spaghetti and/or macaroni mix yum! Elbows give a "macaroni and cheese" vibe, just saying Add a bit of flour to the sauce, instead of using eggs, for binding

[@SocaSpice73]

Yes to the flour!!

[@maryphillips4222]

Best pie ever. I didn’t add eggs because my daughter has an allergic reaction to eggs. The mayonnaise did the trick. My family couldn’t have enough… thank you very much

[@lukasstages692]

Hi! I just made some delicious macaroni pie following your recipe! The only thingI didn’t include was the mayonnaise only because I didn’t have it.I’m telling you; this was the best macaroni pie I ever made in my entire life! What is your lovely name sister? I didn’t get it. Besides your good looks; I love your cheerfulness and definitely your good sense of humor! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@magdaleneestephan6418]

I made this mac and cheese and best mac Ive ever made

[@trini_boi2414]

Looks delicious I'll try this method which is a lil different to mine..for a firm pie don't cook the pasta all the way.. remember it still have to bake which makes it over cooked..

[@monicathomas7351]

Wow! Never saw it in this fashion before! Looking good though!

[@isaacinkoomah5733]

nice food

[@theresag4326]

How much evaporated milk do you put into the macaroni pie?
