Plantain Soup

Sun, 21 Dec 2003 20:00:30 -0500

I love hispanic food and plantains are one of my favorite things to eat. Here is a unique soup for all you adventurous chefs:) Please do not let your plantains turn yellow-black because they will turn sweet. Must use green plantains. -- posted by Ang11002

Oven Baked Sweet Plantains

Mon, 05 Jan 2004 20:00:04 -0500

MMMM! I love plantains, especially sweet ones. This is a lower fat method of making "maduros" without the use of oil and frying in a pan. -- posted by Ang11002

Porotos Granados

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 20:00:33 -0400

"Porotos" is Chile's word for "beans". This is a native Chilean dish. My mother-in-law gave me her version, but I like Ruth Van Waerbeek- Gonzalez' (The Chilean Kitchen) version as well, so this is my own, which is an adaptation of the two. Serve Chilean style with fresh bread and a salad of sliced tomatoes and onion drizzled with olive oil. This is a typical autumn and winter dish at our house.(prep time does not include soaking time for beans.) -- posted by Sernarama

There are many interpretations of this Chilean chicken and corn casserole. In this one, corn cooks with milk until it is slightly thick, then whirls in the food processor until smooth. Serve this slightly sweet dish with pebre, posted separately. -- posted by Sharon123

Cazuela- Chilean Chicken Stew

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:14:03 -0400

This is another variation of Cazuela, a simple chicken stew my bf remembers having when he lived in Chile for a couple years. We'll try it when it's soup weather. I found this on another website. The person who posted it there says it's from the Bountiful Harvest Cookbook. -- posted by darthlaurie

Porotos Granados Con Mazamorra (Chilean Vegetable Stew)

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:28:14 -0400

Translated from a Chilean cookbook. This is a great hearty vegetarian recipe made with navy or white beans. Plus, I like stews with squash. In Chile, the common squashes sold in the market places are very large gourds and pieces of it are sold instead of the entire gourd. The spices listed don't have quantities listed. I usually start with small amounts and add more later, when I can taste it. -- posted by jennyrs

From Food & Wine April 2009. According to Food & Wine "Theyre great with a crisp Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Try the peppery 2008 Root: 1 or the 2008 Montes Classic Series." -- posted by Queen Dana
