INSTRUCTIONS
I love Puerto Rican Food!... It's usually simple, yet rich with lots of
cilantro and garlic!!. Enclosed are examples of 4 dishes that can be
simplified to taste. I always add mucho mas cilantro, peppers and garlic
with fresh ingredients (I never used canned foods).
I prefer to also add a pinch of red chili powder just to make it
interesting (not a traditional ingredient in Puerto Rican food).
In a large heavy kettle, brown meat in oil.
Add green pepper, sweet chili, onions, cloves, cilantro, vinegar (or lime
juice), oregano, tomato sauce, bay leaves, and salt. Mix and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 1 hour.
Add carrots to kettle. Drain liquid from peas into kettle and mix (reserve
peas) Bring rapidly to a boil, reduce to low, cover and cook about 1 hr
until meat is almost fork-tender..
Add potatoes, olives, capers, raisins, and 1/2 tsp salt, bring rapidly to a
boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook about 1 hour, or until meat is
fork-tender and vegetables are done.
Ad reserved peas and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning (uncover, and boil to
thicken sauce to taste).
