Mango Mojitos With Ancho Chili Salt
It was another summer Friday in the neighborhood and that called for another festive cocktail. Riding high on the success of last session’s passionfruit mojitos, I decided to make mango mojitos. The drink itself followed much the same construction, but the mango was decidedly sweeter than the passionfruit, so I decided that it needed a […]

Passionfruit Mojitos by the Pitcher or Glass
Summer evenings in the neighborhood can be wonderful. Occasionally on a Friday some of us neighbors bring out folding chairs and sit together in one front yard for a bit of happy hour while the kids go mental on someone else’s lawn. It’s pretty much BYO, but we do mix up a pitcher of experimental […]

KID IN THE KITCHEN: Tembleque (Tropical Coconut Pudding)
We spent the better part of last summer in Puerto Rico, and among the tasty things that my little guy fell in love with was tembleque, a jiggly (temblar means to tremble) dessert that falls somewhere between pudding and flan. I promised him we’d make it back in New York, and this weekend, for a […]

SangrÃa Tropical (and rainforest paradise pictures)
When the heat gets tropical, so should the drinks. On a recent trip to the mountains of Puerto Rico, I was inspired by a wonderfully cooling and exotic sangrÃa I had up around and about El Yumque (Caribbean National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest Service system) at Noelia’s, recommended to us […]

Salmorejo de jueyes (Land Crab Stew)
There are a number of land crab species skittering about Caribbean coastlines. Some are edible and the one we eat most here in Puerto Rico (although I am told they mostly are imported from Venezuela these days) is Cardisoma guanhumi which we call juey and — if you are English-speaking — you might call the […]

Reblogged this on Hot, Cheap & Easy and commented:
Note to readers: The enten season has begun for Christians around the world and part of Lent is Fish on Fridays! So here are some super-easy, super-tasty Fish on Friday ideas from the Hot, Cheap & Easy archives.
I love fish, but seldom eat it unless I can see the sea, it is a strange rule I made years ago and i think i need to revisit it! These dishes look very good.. c
I can understand your “strange” rule. When I lived in Prague, I decided I was too far inland to be able to eat seafood and as much as I love it, I just didn’t eat it for the better part of two years. And come to think of it, I had done the same during the two years previous in Northern Italy! And then I decided I would never, ever, ever, live landlocked again. And I haven’t.
That’s funny, I noticed your post email as I left this morning. Later I had to wait for prayer to finish before the food stalls, in the Moroccan section on Goldbourne Road, reopened for lunch – so I could get the hot aladass soup with extra harissa (it was cold today).
While I waited, I bought dorada for dinner. Now I’m looking at your post and wondering if something subliminal happened… 😉
God works in mysterious ways…
All of them look delicious and as someone who loves fish but never knows how to make it I am dying to try the cod and capers as well as the Salted cod. Can’t wait!
I’ve had very good feedback on that cod recipe. Friends have made it and were very happy about it. Let me know what modifications you make. And with fish like this, go easy on the heat. Less is more!
DifÃcil quedarse con sólo uno para hoy… Todos se ven deliciosos 🙂
Gracias, Giovanna! Dejame saber si hagas uno….xoxoxox feliz finde!
Lots of good ideas for a wonderful seafood meal.
Thanks Karen….I had fogotten about my cod dish and am so glad this post helped me to remember. BTW, you are back in my Reader! So I am getting notified of your posts again. Hurray! and Happy Weekend!
