Cubano-Style Pork Loin

Mon, 25 May 2009 22:27:30 -0400

Mojo is a traditional Cuban marinade made with sour oranges, spices, and garlic. Sour oranges are used in many Hispanic dishes and can be found in ethnic grocery stores. Mojo is used as a marinade for pork, chicken, and seafood before cooking. It acts to tenderize any cut of meat and can be used as a ceviche as well. This is a family recipe made with black coffee, which is traditionally used in Cuban family recipes to marinate fresh hams and large cuts of meat. Serve with Recipe #373864 as dressing at the end. Other ways to serve Cubano-style pork loin, is to slice and serve with a fresh fruit salad or serve in soft tacos or sandwiches. Found this recipe in, "The Whole Foods Market Cookbook." -- posted by Virginia Cherry Blossom

This is really good stuffed in a fresh tomato, in an avocado, or served with a lettuce wedge. Great for these hot summer days.

Bahama Mama

Tue, 26 May 2009 16:47:56 -0400

This is a great summer drink from Dale Degroff (The Essential Cocktail) that will go by the pitcher! This recipe is by the glass, though, for sipping on the patio. If you don't have all four rums, you can improvise by doubling up (I would recommend making sure to use dark rum and coconut rum, however). Angostura bitters really make the drink, but could be left out if you don't have them (usually found in the tropical drink section at a supermarket or liquor store). -- posted by Ames Shaps

Caribbean Cabbage and Coconut

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:10:51 -0400

Found this in The Seattle Times (they apparently got it from The Miami Herald, LOL) - the article lauded the health benefits of coconut oil in spite of its rather high saturated fat level & then suggested either canola (blech!) or coconut oil for the dish. Me? I use coconut or peanut oil for high temps or more neutral flavors & olive oil otherwise. I was drawn to the cabbage in the recipe as we are in the process of harvesting our cabbage patch. Can't use all of it for sauerkraut & cabbage rolls, ya know? -- posted by Buster's friend

So easy, that even the most novice cook can make this. And it is delicious! It is a typical delicasy in Southern Mexico, Central America and the Carribean. It is best to choose plantains (not bananas) that are yellow with black spots (as shown in the picture), as these will be sweet and tender and will fry even more delicious! Enjoy by itself with sour cream or as a side dish (as shown in the picture). -- posted by Chef Sarita in Austin Texas

Shrimp Bites Wrapped in Greens

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:07:02 -0400

Isabel Cruz's Spicy "Shoestring" Party Menu for a Sultry Late-Summer Night - CBS Morning Show, 09/01/2007. The San Diego-based chef likes to marry the tastes of Latin American cooking she grew up with to the Pacific Rim tastes she's come to know as a Californian. But most of all, Cruz likes to keep her cooking clean, fresh, flavorful and healthy - she likes to go for flavors that pop and offer contrast to one another. She has 5 restaurants on the West Coast, from Portland, Ore. down to San Diego, Ca:). She has also published a cookbook "Isabel's Cantina."Growing-up, Isabel's friends were Puerto Rican, Cuban, Peruvian, and she also spent time with her Asian friends learning Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine. Thus, was born her fusion of different flavors. "This is a Thai appetizer of shrimp wrapped with coconut, peanuts, and chiles in a leaf. She likes to use raw collard greens as wrappers for these spicy little snacks, which she drizzles with a little guava sauce to complete the hot-sweet Thai flavors while also bringing these bites further into the Latin realm. Prepare these ingredients in advance, and then assemble these at the last minute." She was given a $60 budget to create a dinner menu for 6 people - thus: Chef on a Shoesting. -- posted by Manami

Bahama Shrimp Skewers

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:20:08 -0400

Rum, shrimps, pineapple...Just a few of the great flavors in this dish that remind you of a relaxing Summer vacation in the Islands :) I often adjust one of my recipes ( Recipe #367464 ) that I posted a while ago. But since it doesn't really resemble the original anymore I thought I'd post it as a seperate recipe. I never really measure when I cook, so these measurements are only estimates. You have to adjust the amounts depending on how spicy or sweet you like your shrimps. I get the best results using fresh ginger and lime juice but bottled works too. (Cook time includes marinating time) The perfect side dish would be Recipe #382390 -- posted by *Bellinda*

Cuban-Style Oven-Roasted Pork

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:12:42 -0400

Letting the cooked roast rest for a full hour will yield noticeably more tender meat. This roast has a crispy skin that should be served along with the meat. Top the meat with Mojo Sauce (see related recipe). Traditional accompaniments include black beans, rice, and fried plantains. Cook's Illustrated Note: I have made this about 4 times and I have only used the shoulder once and it was amazing! I have never eaten cracklin before but it was so good on this. The other times I made it with pork loin and I learned to halve the recipe due to them being half the weight. IT was pretty intense at full strength esp. with the brine. My grandfather was Cuban and I'm sure he never made it this way, but now I will never make it any other way! -- posted by nsomniak6

Curried Beef

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:43:26 -0400

Curried beef was a staple when I was growing up, therefore consider it one of my favourite 'comfort' foods. More often than not, my Mother used goat meat. If you get the chance, I highly recommend giving it a try. The curried meat was usually served with Rice 'n Peas (Recipe #373354 is a good version) or plain white rice. You could also substitute the beef with pork tenderloin. The amount of curry given is just a guideline. Each brand and type of curry has it's own unique qualities and intensity. If you do not have access to scotch bonnet peppers, habeneros or jalapenos will do. Freezes well for later use. -- posted by Diana #2

Grilled Jerk Pork Tenderloin

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:15:15 -0400

I feel that the apple cider makes this Jerk marinade unique, and a bit untraditional. Being from the apple country of Virginia the apple cider was a natural. For added flavor, add apple or hickory wood chips soaked in water on top of the hot coals. You can begin grilling when the chips start smoking. Grilled pineapple goes well with this as a side dish. -- posted by Chef #1298498

Jamaican Brown Stew Fish

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:05:18 -0400

There's a restaurant near here in South Florida that serves this dish, and they make it soooo good. It has a slightly sweet/tangy flavor that goes really well with the snapper. I decided to try making it myself, but after looking in Recipezaar, I couldn't find the sweet version. I finally found it somewhere else on the web and tweaked it to perfection. Serve with a little salad and rice and peas. For the rice and peas, I recommend recipe # 97745. Hope you like it. -- posted by Romi

Put a fancy umbrella in it to take yourself away to the tropics. :) Add some booze to make it a fancy frozen cocktail. -- posted by the80srule
