I have a friend who is Puerto Rican and I am Italian,and he is always making me food.I would love(really) someone who could give me a web site or recipe for some down home Pureto Rrican food
Oh Thank you!
Tostones (fried plantain chips)
Pollo en escabeche (pickled chicken)
Pasteles (dumplings filled with pork, chicken, shrimp, etc.)
Remember, if you want to cook Puerto Rican, you must have sofrito and recaito. If your grocery store doesn't carry them, just go to the rough part of town. This is why I hate shopping in the 'burbs, no one knows what posole is or plantains for that matter. The other option for securing recaito/sofrito is to check community bulletin boards in grocery stores and gas stations in the rougher part of town. Often you can find someone who is selling home made and it is killer.
