A. The way that I make arroz con pollo is: Take some chicken thighs and boil them with salt, pepper and a couple bay leaves for a an hour or more. In a rice pot, pour a little bit of veg. oil and 2-3 tablespoons of sofrito; add 1 packet of Sazon and 1 can of tomatoe sauce and a can of pinto beans(optional)and some green olives; add the rice and chicken then use the stock from the chicken to just cover the rice and chicken. Taste to see if you need to add more salt and let this simmer on medium-low heat, so you don't burn the rice, until the rice absorbs the water. After the rice becomes "dry" then stir the rice and chicken and form a mound in the pot. Put the heat on low and cover. Stir rice every 10-15 minutes until the rice is tender. I… [cont.]

Q. not disgustiong food, something that you would want to eat!
Asked by JJ - Fri Dec 7 22:32:45 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Try going to the international aisle at the supermarket and find easy to make dishes that have all the ingredients in one box. This is not, strictly speaking, the Puerto Rican way, per se...but it will do. If you don't get things that are packaged together you might find yourself spending money on seasonings and herbs you might never use again. Try Goya rice and beans in the box. I LOVE it! It's as close to the real thing as you can get. If you were to make a rice and beans (arroz con habichuelas) dish similar to this boxed one you would need two separate pots, lots of time boiling beans, cilantro, green bell pepper, crushed garlic, minced onions, olives, an herb called oregano, a seasoning in an orange box called Sazon (con achiote)… [cont.]

A. It's called pastelon. It's sort of like a lasagne type dish. The original version has you beat an egg and pour it over before you bake it. (which is GROSS) I make it without the egg. Make sure the plaintain isn't deep green or too ripe should be yellow but firm or it will be mushy and won't hold it's shape.

A. Tostones are very easy. Can you buy green plantains where you live? If so, then just cut & peel the skin & then cut the plantain into about 1 inch pieces. Fry them in hot oil for about a minute. Take it out (use paper towels to soak up oil) & smash it flat like a pancake. You can use a plate or something to smash it. Then fry them again until they are crisp. Sprinkle on salt (some people add garlic too) Or you can always make a dessert like Besitos de Coco (coconut cookies)

Puerto Rican rice dish (mopestito?)?
Q. I was recently in Puerto Rico (Laquillo and Fajardo to be exact) and ate at a restaraunt named Madre Tierra and had a side dish. I can't remember exactly how to spell it but I thought it was called mopestito. It was a rice dish with red beans, peppers, onions and they said they sometimes put sausage, pork or ground beef in it. I am looking for the correct name and a recipe for it. The owner said they cook the rice and beans separate and then serve them together to keep the dish moist. He said usually when people cook it at home, they cook them all together.

A. I believe that Peurto Rican food is seasoned mostly with Adobo and Sazon. They also use liquid based seasonings called Reciato and Sofrito. They eat a lot of grains, Rice and Beans, Empanadas, Pastalillos, and things like this. My stepson is Puerto Rican so we cook these things in my house all the time. I love them.

If anyone could help me with detailed instructions of how to make this delicious recipe or any other good Hispanic style rice and beans recipe I'd be so grateful. It's my favorite dish and I no longer can get it unless I figure out how to make it myself.

Puerto Rican cuisine Diet Tips please help?
Q. Oh please come to my aid here. I want so to help this lady out who only eats Puerto Rican food. She asked that I give her my opinion of what she should eat. I know all the lean proteins, carbs, and veggie portions---but I have no idea of what to tell her to eat. I mean I myself might substitute ground beef with turkey--but can you think of just one dish that has all the nutrients and is low in fat? Thanks.

A. Lay off the sugar. Watch intake of oil in cooking and stay away from fritters or anything deep fried. Your friend is going to really need to change her thinking about eating if she wants to lose weight and stay healthy. A lot of Puerto Rican food looks great. If she could just modify some of the recipes to make them better for her, that would be ideal.
