8 May

Note on reblog: This is one of the most-searched-for recipes on my blog, so I am reminding regular readers that it is here!

Hot, Cheap & Easy

Finally!

Piled high in a platter and garnished with roasted red pepper and peas, this is a Puerto Rican classic!

Puerto Rican food is not as widely known as some other Caribbean cuisines (think Cuba and Jamaica), but when it comes to arroz con pollo — chicken and rice — you know what I am talking about. And I know I should have blogged this one for you a long time ago. Here, finally, is the one you’ve been waiting for.

More delicious loveliness from you! A very, very happy Mother’s Day to you and your handsome Leandro, with a year of love and joy ahead! I will be thinking of you extra in the coming time, as we head to PR for “our kids'” wedding (near Dorado) and a few days after in San Juan Viejo. 😀 Can’t wait.
xoxoxo,
Kathryn

  Oh I wish you a wonderful, wonderful trip! (Eat at El Jibarito on Calle Sol and make sure you go to the Market Square in Santurce)

    Guess where we had supper tonight! I had bacalaitos and tostones, as we’d eaten lunch late and still gone to meet friends for coffee & sweets at Cafecultura after that, so a couple of smaller bites with a cold Coco Rico were just the thing to end the day. Having such a great time it’ll be hard to leave, of course, but I’ll certainly get home with a good Foodie Tues post or two in mind!!! xoxo, K

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 […]
Sangría 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 sangría 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 […]
