Directions
- 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).
- 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).
- In a large heavy kettle, brown meat in oil.
- 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.
- 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..
- 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.
- Ad reserved peas and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning (uncover, and boil to thicken sauce to taste).
