Geera Pork | Traditional Pork Dish From Trinidad and Tobago, Caribbean | TasteAtlas

Geera Pork

Geera pork is a Trini way of preparing pork by cutting it into small pieces, then seasoning the meat with cumin seeds (geera), garlic, pepper, onions, chives, and hot peppers. The meat is marinated, then cooked in water until most of the liquid is absorbed and pork is well cooked.


The dish is a staple at Trini bars, where it is regularly served either in cups or with hops bread. It is believed that the pepper in the dish makes it harder for people to get intoxicated, so that is the reason why geera pork is so popular in bars.
