Tomato & Kale Choka with Grilled Plantain

Updated: Apr 30, 2022

Tomato Choka is a Trinidadian dish where tomatoes are charred over an open flame and added to heated oil with garlic and onion. Today I made a quick version to the traditional tomato Choka and added kale to it for some extra health benefits. I paired this dish with grilled plantain, avocado, and corn cakes for the perfect Sunday morning breakfast! See below for this healthy, easy-to-make recipe with step-by-step videos.
