Directions

  1. I love Puerto Rican Food!... It's usually simple, yet rich with lots of cilantro and garlic!!. Enclosed are examples of 4 dishes which can be simplified to taste. I always add in mucho mas cilantro, peppers and garlic with fresh ingredients (I never used canned foods).
  2. I prefer to also add in a healthy pinch of red chili pwdr just to make it interesting (not a traditional ingredient in Puerto Rican food).
  3. In a large heavy kettle, brown meat in oil.
  4. Add in green pepper, sweet chili, onions, cloves, cilantro, vinegar (or possibly 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.
  5. Add in 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 till meat is almost fork-tender..
  6. Add in 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 possibly till meat is fork-tender and vegetables are done.
  7. Ad reserved peas and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning (uncover, and boil to thicken sauce to taste).
