Barbecued Jerk Chicken

Tue, 28 May 2002 20:33:04 -0400

I recommend that you try to avoid letting the wind blow the aroma of this chicken on your grill into the neighbour's yard, unless you are prepared to cook a second batch. -- posted by Mille®

Sofrito-Marinated Steak

Tue, 21 Dec 2004 20:00:01 -0500

I found this delicious recipe in the 'Dinner Tonight!' column in the Chicago Tribune. You can marinate this for as little as 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best. I've included the 30 minute marinading time in the prep time. If you don't have a food processor just chop the vegetables as small as possible and place in a blender with the olive oil and puree. -- posted by Hey Jude

Island Pina Colada

Thu, 04 May 2006 20:15:29 -0400

Ever wonder why the Piña Coladas you make at home taste nothing like the ones served at your favorite tropical destination? Most recipes simplify the colada into a mixture of rum, pineapples & ice with a splash of coconut milk. A flavorful Piña Colada has two kinds of rum (light and dark), cream and even bitters added which make the concoction a true tropical delight. Use high quality Puerto Rican rum in this recipe for the best result. Enjoy! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Recaito

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:50:35 -0400

There really is no translation for this mixture of onion, garlic, peppers and green herbs. Recao is culantro in Puerto Rican-speak, so this seasoning is called recaito, or "little culantro." You can buy it in bottles in some ethnic grocery stores but why? when it's so simple to make. Use in dishes like Cuban black beans or Puerto Rican style pot roast, where you want the flavor but not the color or extra liquid that you have in a sofrito. Culantro is the defining flavor. -- posted by SusieQusie

Coquito - Puerto Rican Eggnog

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:50:56 -0400

Who says eggnog is only served at Christmas? This creamy, smooth concoction is good all year long and is as complicated as grabbing a can opener and turning on your blender. -- posted by SusieQusie

Puerto Rican Cabbage Salad

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 23:57:32 -0400

Cooking Light magazine, Aug. 2007. This from Olga Fuste who wrote "Diabetic Cooking for Latinos" published by the ADA. This recipe goes well with rice and beans and fish tacos according to the blurb in the magazine. A serving size is 3/4 of a cup according to the recipe notes. If you use pre-shredded carrots and cabbage, this comes together in a snap. -- posted by Oolala

Frescavena-Like Oatmeal Drink Mix

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 01:00:16 -0500

Similar to the popular Latin American drink from Quaker "Frescavena". This oatmeal based beverage is nutritious and refreshing. My 18 month old daughter loves it and after not finding it anywhere in stores I had to come up with a way to make it myself EASILY. I love this because I can keep it on hand and scoop it into a glass of milk and its ready to go! -- posted by Chef #502806
