Cuban Chicken and Rice Recipe


Image
There' nothing I love better than Arroz con Pollo. When I'm home in Miami my guilty pleasure is this fast food joint called Pollo Tropical. It's kind of like the Arby's of Latin food. You can go in there get some chicken, black beans and rice, tostones y garlic seasoning fast. I saw this recipe on the Hispanic Food Network and it reminded home of the Magic City. Enjoy!

How To Make Flan


"This is the best flan you will ever taste. The cream cheese takes away the "egginess" that most flan's have. The water bath ensures that the custard does not burn and that the caramel turns into a wonderful sauce."

Check out this recipe on The Hispanic Food Network

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 (14 ounce) cans condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ounce cream cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Select 2 oven safe containers, one that can easily fit inside the other.
  3. The large one will be used for a water bath and the smaller one will actually house the flan.
  4. Fill the larger container a little less than half way with water and place in the cold oven to heat up while you prepare the caramel and the custard.
  5. In a large pan, using a wooden spoon caramelize the sugar until it turns a light golden brown.
  6. While still hot, transfer the melted sugar to the smaller container, swirling it around until the entire bottom is covered then set aside.
  7. In a blender add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
  8. Open up the oven where you have placed the water bath and then place the small pan with the caramel inside the large water bath pan.
  9. Pour the custard into the pan being careful not to splash it.

El Mojito A Taste of The Island In Seattle

On a rainy Tuesday night in Seattle I found a little slice of Sunshine at El Mojito, a little Cuban/Venzuelan restaurant in Northeast Seattle. I was greeted by the sounds of Cuban music and the smell of tostones. For just a moment, it felt like being on Calle Ocho (Eighth Street) in Miami. I was greeted by a young server named Carlos Ganz. The 18 year old told me how his father Juan opened the restaurant 9 years ago with the Island theme.
 
        Sweet Maduros                                             Arroz con Pollo Cuban Style

When Carlos handed me the menu my eyes and taste buds delighted at the  thoughts of Arroz Con Pollo, Camorones, Tostones and Black Beans that would soon hit my taste buds.
Besides the smells and the music my favorite part of El Mojito was the atmosphere. It's just a tiny place but it's very comfortable. The music from the islands dance from the speakers and after a few minutes you want to get up and Salsa. In fact there's bongos, tamborines and other instruments that kids are encouraged to play. And needless to say my son took full advantage of it. He played the bongos until his food arrived along with the other kids and adults who cared to join in.
 
                 My Son Deano bangs away on the Bongos
 The food was amazing. My Arroz con Pollo reminded me of the times in Kendall, a suburb of Miami where you could find a Cuban deli on every corner. The taste of the tostones were like a trip to Miami Beach. And the maduros made me feel like I was sitting in Abula's kitchen. If you hadn't guessed by now I really liked El Mojito.
Fridays and Saturdays are their busy days according to Carlos. You can visit them at 7545 Lake City Way NE Seattle, WA 98115

Taberna del Alabardero Offers Great Food From Spain


The Hispanic Food Network takes a look inside Seattle's Premier Spanish Restaurant.


For the first time in over 19 years, Grupo Lezama, one of Spain’s leading restaurant groups, is proud to announce the launch of its second venture in the United States. , a legendary fine dining restaurant renowned for its elegant old world décor, dignified high standard of service and traditional Spanish cuisine in Washington, DC, has just opened a second location in the bustling Belltown area of Seattle, Washington. Grupo Lezama’s first endeavor abroad was Taberna del Alabardero in Washington, DC on March 27, 1989.



The bar features Sangria and many other great selections.

The first Taberna del Alabardero was opened in Spain almost 35 years ago in 1974, when Father Luis de Lezama began an adventure, charting a new course for himself in Madrid. He quietly rented a 16th century townhouse near the Royal Palace in Spain’s capital city and, with no prior training in the restaurant business, began serving meals. Taberna del Alabardero or “Tavern of the Palace Guards,” named for its location on the Plaza De Oriente, outside of the Palace gates of the capital city, quickly became a fashionable and critically acclaimed locale.

 
 Manager of the Seattle Taberna Juan Jose Del Valle
Lezama followed his Madrid success with Taberna del Alabardero restaurants in Marbella and Sevilla, Spain, and Washington, DC, garnering tremendous praise and recognition, and now – Seattle, Washington. Taberna del Alabardero’s goal is to educate people on the rich diversity of traditional Spanish cuisine and the unmatchable wines the country has to offer.
