Lechon Asado: Top Secret recipe: add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, cumin, culantro, fresh recao, and mix as a paste. The key in making a buen Lechon Asao is to tajar el lechon bien tajao. Also be sure to marinate the pernil in salt and water at least one full day. Use a regular brine concentration. Avoid any citrics or sweets in this recipe. Broil and then lower heat. The Lechon takes a long time to cook evenly, and is generally eaten above medium well, to well done. If you marinate and season the Lechon properly the meat will not end up dry. Promise!

Pasteles de Yuca: Pasteles is a broad technique of enveloping foods in a root mash mix. In mexico a corn paste is used to make tamales. In the caribbean platanos, yucca, name, yautia, and batata , the common roots are blended in different proportions and stuffed with any meat. Many variations add acid olives, peppers, sweet raisins, or chickpeas. The key to the pasteles artistry is the enveloping and wrap-tying in platano leaves. Pasteles are tied in pairs called yuntas and take 30-40 minutes to boil in high. PLEASE DON'T ADD KETCHUP. It is a common disagreement between pasteles lovers to include the ketchup. I know you'll agree in the purest form of this great dish.

India is extremely large and its cuisine is a broad spectrum from vegetarian to coastal with English , Muslim, Portuguese and Endemic Influences. SSFF will name a couple of spices and dishes you should at least try many times.

Ingredients: saffron, pured nuts, coconut, curry, Naan bread, nargisi kaftas (meatballs), biryani ( layered rice and meat), rogan josh...Dosa (rice pancakes), Idli (steamed rice cakes), Many different types of Chutney (chutney is an Indian version of sofrito/sauce in latin countries. sort of a base flavor composed of many spices).

Plates and Recipes:

dry-cooked Kebab (Tandoori Jhinga, Chicken Tandoori, Shami Kebab, Seekh Kebab, Paneer Tikka, Tandoori Aloo, Murgh Malai Kebab)

Dal Bukhara (creamy black bean soup)

deep-fried foods (Samosa, Pakora)

Papad (a round toasted paste made of dried-beans and spices)

Gajar Halwa (Carrot Cake) and Kheer (Rice pudding).

Vegan and Vegetarian    

Turmeric Rice

1.5 cups of rice, 2 tsp turmeric, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 yellow onion, 2 inches of ginger, 2 cups of vegetable broth per cup of rice, 2 tbsp of oil. 5 inches of carrot natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent anti-inflammatory, anti arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis detoxifies the liver; shown to be affective in fighting Alzheimer’s ; natural painkiller

- may help in weight management; used to treat depression; used to treat multiple cancers

- antioxidant; can be used as a Saffron substitute

Arroz Verde: Many latin countries have this recipe involving the green spices of tropical caribbean cuisine. Green color is brought about cilantro, perejil, romero, oregano, and spinach. This rice's green hue can be from light to very heavy green. Here's a recipe:

per 3 cups of rice, use two handfuls of cilantro and two other of perejil, add a tablespoon or two of romero (slight green and bitter hint) add 3 garlic heads and half an onion into a blender. Boil rice as you would but substitute water for broth. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the blender and blend until a watery paste results. Add the paste to the rice when cooking and be sure to mix as the greens float. In the end it would be necessary to mix the green layer up top. SSFF takes more than 40 minutes to set the rice. The longer you let the rice set at low heat the looser the grain will be. Serves 8-15 persons. Enjoy.

Take 8 pounds of carne molida. 2 cans of beer. Put in a bowl and cover the entire surface of the bowl with a salt pepper mix, visibly cover. Add the beer and mix with your hands. Add 1/2 an onion per pound of meat OR add onion until the meat mix is visibly constituted with onion. Take a full ramo de cilantrillo and cut in small pieces, not too small. You can leave the cilantrillo in leave sized size. Mix by hand. Marinate in the beer for 1 full day. During this time the meat will absorb all the juice you add to it. So if you would like add another beer or until you start seeing meat to separate in its consistency. Before cooking, remove all juice. Add 2 eggs to the meat and mix by hand. Then enjoy the best burguers you'll ever enjoy.

Alter the recipe by adding 1 tbs of red pepper per pound. Also add more culantro, peppers, recao, even spinach, romero and lemongrass to taste, to make a green burguer. Serve with two couple of cups red wine and a glass of water.

Pina Colada: 2part Bacardi, 1part Coconut Cream, 3parts Pineaple juice.1 cup of ice per 6 oz of mix. The viscosity of the mix can be lowered with added ice. Texture and feel can be changed with ice quantity. Most people enjoy Pina Colada between a frozen and a daiquiri, in that sweet middle spot. Normally the Coconut Cream comes in a 1.75 cup can. So use 6 oz of Pineaple juice. Add the Bacardi for flavor. 2oz

Sangria

Andrajos

White Sangria Recipe

White Sangria is just that - sangria made with white wine instead of red wine. It is a style of sangria with a ton of flavor and a much cleaner palette than the red version.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups of water
  • 1 cup of of fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2 sticks of cinnamon
  • 3 1/2 cups of dry white wine, such as an Albarino
  • 2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  • 2 pears, cored and cut into chunks
  • 2 oranges, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 3 cups of sparkling apple cider

Directions:

  1. Combine the water, mint leaves, sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce the heat and simmer for ten minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and allow it to cool down.
  3. Strain out the mint leaves and cinnamon sticks.
  4. Transfer the remaining mixture to a large bowl, and add the wine and peaches, pears, oranges and lemons.
  5. Mix everything together, and refrigerate the drink until it's chilled. Just before serving, mix in the apple cider.
  6. Serve the drink in rocks glasses with ice.

Tinto de Verano Recipe

Tinto de verano translates to "red wine of summer". This drink is served throughout Spain during the long, hot summers. While it is similar to sangria, it has less alcohol; this makes it a much better drink to sip while sitting in the sun.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of dry red wine, such as Rioja
  • 2 cups of lemon-lime soda
  • 4 lemon slices

Directions:

  1. Mix together all of ingredients in a pitcher with ice.
  2. Serve the drink in tall glasses filled with ice, and garnish them with more lemon slices.

Bowtie pasta exists solely to escape from whatever eating utensil you are using, plop down on a plate, and throw a single red dot of sauce onto your otherwise clean shirt.

Because bowtie pasta is a f*** turbo d+++ of the highest magnitude. You can't even stab it to death because it will just slide all over the place such like a William Nilly and in the end you will scoop it up in the manner of our cave-ridden ancestors and glomp it down angrily before you realize everyone is staring at you and your labored breathing, rage boiling beneath your surface

Shrimps Scampi  

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound large (16-20 count) raw shrimp, shelled* and de-veined, (if you want, keep the tail on for an attractive presentation)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 Tbsp butter
  • Salt
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, slivered, or 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (less or more to taste)
  • 1/2 cup white wine (I recommend a dry white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

* Shell on? or Shell off? It's really up to you. Shrimp cooked shell on are more flavorful because the shells infuse more flavor into the shrimp while they cook. But, shell-on is fussier to eat. If you remove the shells before cooking the shrimp, you can save them for making shellfish stock. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/shrimp_scampi/

 Heat a sauté pan on high heat then reduce to medium high heat. Swirl the butter and olive oil into the pan. After the butter melts it will foam up a bit then subside. If using unsalted butter, sprinkle a little salt in the pan. Stir in the slivered garlic and red pepper flakes.

Sauté the garlic for just a minute, until it begins to brown at the edges, then add the shrimp. Add the wine and stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce of butter, oil, and wine. Move the shrimp so they are in an even layer in the pan. Increase the heat to high and boil the wine for two to three minutes.

Stir the shrimp and arrange them so that you turn them over to cook on the other side. Continue to cook on high heat for another minute.

Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper, and toss to combine.

Serve as is, or with crusty bread, over pasta, or over rice (for gluten-free version).

Grilled Octopus with Ancho Chile Sauce

http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/grilled-octopus-ancho-chile-sauce

PREPARE THE OCTOPUS Preheat the oven to 300°. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add half of the octopus and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until lightly browned all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining octopus.

Add the shallots and garlic to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the pimentón and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Carefully add the sherry and bring to a boil. Return the octopus to the casserole, cover and braise in the oven until very tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let the octopus cool completely in the liquid.

MEANWHILE, MAKE THE SAUCE In a medium saucepan, toast the chiles over moderate heat, turning, until fragrant and pliable, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, honey and garlic and bring just to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand until the chiles are softened, about 20 minutes. Transfer to 
a blender and puree until smooth. With the machine on, gradually add the grapeseed oil until incorporated. Season the ancho chile sauce with salt.

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan and brush with canola oil. Grill the octopus over high heat, turning, until lightly charred all over, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and immediately brush with some of the ancho chile sauce. Serve with the jicama salad, passing the remaining sauce at the table.

 

Clams

Almejas

Palourdes

 

1 libra de almejas o un poco más (25 almejas aproximadamente.)

3oz. de chorizo

½ taza de vino seco blanco

2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

1 cebolla blanca

6 dientes de ajo

2 cds cilantrillo

Sazon de sal y pimienta.

Temperatura mediana alta sofria en orden de espesor: cebolla, ajo. Cocer cebolla y ajo a gusto. El orden de sofreir es importante ya que la variabilidad del sabor entre ajo y cebolla y otros vegetales es grande ya que el calor y el aceite liberan mucho el sabor o si se sofrie poco se puede obtener un sabor mas natural del ingrediente. Tradicionalmente el ajo se sofrie hasta rostizar y lograr la carbonizacion del ajo que le anade caracter al sabor. Añade el chorizo y mueve todos los ingredientes para que la sazón del chorizo se incorpore bien.  Sofríe por unos 5 minutos más. Por último agrega el vino y mezcla mientras esperas unos minutos hasta que el olor fuerte a alcohol pase (Reduccion ~2 minutos). Aqui puedes espesar la salsa con una cda de mantequilla. Echa las almejas y revuelvelas 1 vez y las tapas por varios minutos hasta que empiecen a abrir. Luego agrega el cilantro, sal y pimienta y muévelas de nuevo. Decorar.

White Rice   Perfect White Rice: 1cup of water per cup of rice. It doesn't matter if the rice is long grain or short. The important detail is that water is covering the level of rice. Bring water to a vigorous boil, add salt 2tbs or to taste. Add the rice and let boil. Watch the rice water level. When the water level starts to disappear and you see pores in the rice (convection pores), immediately lower the heat and cover. THE TRICK IS IN LEAVING THE RICE STILL FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN WITHHOLD EATING. The longer you cook the rice Lo mas suelto lo ecuentras. Que lo disfrutes.

Arroz Guisado

Arroz al Curry

Arroz con Almendras

Arroz al Coco

Arroz con Limon y Cilantro

 

There are many different ways to make rice. Guisado or sauted, with Coconut or Curry, Green rice with cilantro, sage, or thyme or any other green spice. The trick with these recipes is to make the sauce or add the ingredient in the key moment.

Arroz Guisado: Create the sauce and then add rice.

Arroz con Almendras: Crunch the Almonds and add before simmering.

Arroz con Coco: Add the coconut milk at the end of the simmering time, mix by hand and let simmer for more time.

Arron con Limon: the Lemon can be added before simmering or during the simmering. The longer the lemon stands with rice the more acid the lemon flavor will be. You can add the lemon in the end of the simmering time and cover the pan to simply aromatize the rice. Otherwise lemon flavor will sink in the rice and give it a straight acidic cut.

Pollo Asado  

Sabes cortar un Pollo? Te orientamos rapido. Haz una incision entre el muslo estirado y la pechuga de pollo. esta incision es para separar el muslo del la cadera.. Hazla en ambos lados. El pollo no debe punzarce antes de cocinar. Cocina el pollo y cuando este cocido sacalo del horno. Corta por el mismo corte anterior hasta separar el ala y muslo de la cadera. Toma el pollo por el roto del centro y estiralo lo mas que puedas. Te daras cuenta que si cortas transversalmente en ese plano podras separar las dos pechugas de los muslos y las caderas. (debo incluir fotos). Terminaras con "el pecho" en un lado y las caderas en el otro. Para picar las pechugas ten un cuchillo bien afilado y corta hasta el hueso por el mismo centro. (aqui me detengo para una aclaracion... es como todo animal, tiene hueso en el pecho protejiendo los organos. Hago la aclaracion porque, confesamos, hemos comido miles de pechugas sin saber como se obtienen). No debe ser sorpresa, ahora, picar la pechuga. Aunque quede asimetrica se podra comer.
