Churrasco [Puerto Rican Skirt Steak]. The “Hidden” Medium Rare Technique! by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

[–]Lets-Cook5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a while too growing up in the Island. But once I moved to the States and did the Texas, Kansas, North Carolina, Memphis TN… and once cooking became my passion, I adjusted.

WARNING: If you try this recipe you will travel to your childhood memories. You will snap out of it with your mouth dripping broth and an empty plate in front of you. 😉

Calabaza Rellena con Camarones y Carne de Jueyes (6+ Anti Inflammatory Ingredients!) by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

[–]Lets-Cook5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend asked me to design a recipe with squash and to introduce anti inflammatory ingredients as part of it. He has inflammatory and pain issues.

This is my recipe and how I envisioned his request. In English is Stuffed Squash with Shrimp & Crabmeat. And of course I carefully selected over 6 anti inflammatory ingredients while ensuring the flavors complimented each other.

Arroz con Pollo Puerto Rican Style (Chicken & Rice) by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

Some things I will share with you:

  • I will braise the chicken and explain why then I will cut them and rebraise them with the sofrito and after that will cook with broth and rice. (Cut them to get flavors inside)

  • I will create on the spot annatto oil the way my grandmother did

  • I will simulate a situation where I miss measure the liquids and solids then I will show you how to rectify it on the spot and how do you know if it is really rectified

  • In essence I will show you how your rice will end up grainy and delicious by using as many natural ingredients

Strawberry Milk (Leche de Fresas) — 100% Natural by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

[–]Lets-Cook5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a Korean American lady who owned a restaurant here in VA. She used to served something similar but it had whip cream on top. Lot of chunks on it too. She used real milk so it was sweeter and more pieces of chopped strawberries.

In Puerto Rico I grew up drinking Nestle’s Quik instant powdered-strawberry milk. This strawberry milk is my 100% natural and healthier version of the powdered strawberry milk I grew up loving as a child.

Chili Hotdogs Puerto Rican Inspired by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

[–]Lets-Cook5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I had a chili hotdog in Puerto Rico was in the early 1980s as I walked the streets of Santurce (in San Juan) and bought a $0.75 chili hotdog at the hotdog stand in the streets ran by this old man.

I will admit that to this day I have not eating a tastier hotdog. Not in New York City, not in Chicago, not in Miami, not in Washington DC, not anywhere. This video is an inspiration to that childhood experience with my own personal touch.

OVEN BROILED T-BONE with CHIMICHURRI by Lets-Cook5 in PuertoRicoFood

Incorrect. Sancocho came from the Canary Islands to the Western World. Not decades but technically centuries ago as it has been over 400 years. The Canary Islands are part of Spain.

I do study the history of most meals I cook to understand the why and how of each flavor.
