After number 10 of the series I will make the leadership board and add the numbers up.
Anyway.... in the second installment I introduce to you Puerto Rico. An exotic island that's home too over 471 thousand Afro Ricans and more off the island. I love my Afro Boricuas and the food.
Country (U.S. Territory): Puerto Rico
Tostones
What it is: Often served as an appetizer, this dish is made by thinly slicing plantains, coating them in a batter, and frying them.
Why it's awesome: Tostones pair perfectly with mayo ketchup, a mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, and other spices.
Arroz Con Gandules
What is it: It's white rice cooked with pigeon peas, olives, capers, tomato sauce, seasoning, and sofrito. Sofrito is a cooking base made from cilantro, onions, peppers, and tomatoes. The sofrito is what gives the rice its unique flavor. Sometimes pork is also added to give the rice more substance.
Why it's awesome: Arroz con gandules is actually considered the island's national dish. Arroz con gandules is the first food every Puerto Rican abuela teaches her grandkids to cook.
Empanadillas
What is it: Puerto Rican empanadallias are savory fried pastries traditionally filled with ground beef, although now you can find them stuffed with chicken as well.
Why it's awesome: All Puerto Ricans seem to enjoy it.
Mofongo
What is it: In Puerto Rican cuisine, instead of mashing potatoes, they mash plantains and call it mofongo. Mofongo is made from green plantains seasoned with garlic and salt and often stuffed with chicken, beef, shrimp or vegetables.
Why is it awesome: Mofongo is a classic Puerto Rican food that's fairly versatile. My personal favorite way to enjoy this dish is topped with veggies and a side of arroz con gandules. Café Berlin in San Juan, Puerto Rico makes amazing veggie mofongo.
Pernil
What is it: Pernil is roasted pig.
Why is it awesome: Puerto Rican families often roast an entire pig at family celebrations and parties. Pernil is enjoyed alongside a variety of other Puerto Rican foods including: arroz, mofongo, tostones, and more.
Platanos Maduros
What is it: Maduros are fried plantains; however they're different from tostones. These are sweeter because they are made from riper plantains. They taste similar to a caramelized banana.
Why is it awesome: Because it defines what Puerto Rico is all about.
Asopao
What is it: Asopao is popular across the Caribbean. It's essentially a blend of rice and soup. This dish is similar to gumbo and is often paired with seafood, chicken or pork. There are many different variations of this dish.
Why is it awesome: The most popular in Puerto Rico is asopao de pollo, which is made from broth, rice, chicken, oregano, tomato, olives, onion, garlic, and other seasonings.
