Did you mince garlic and mix it with olive oil and salt to drizzle over them??

No, the water that I soak them in initially & in-between has the garlic. Then they're salted at the end. I don't know about olive oil...wouldn't that make them soggy???

NO NO NO...actually, I don't really drizzle them, I put the olive oil with the garlic/salt in little dipping bowls and dip the tostones as we eat them.

If drizzling you'd do that when serving/about to eat them, not during any part of preparation.

Will consider that for next time.

Although that sounds suspiciously like a Cuban mojo...aren't you boricua? If so, does your MOTHER know the blasphemy you're causing?!?!?

Yes I am boricua.

That isn't at all like mojo. Mojo has lemon or orange and stuff no? And it's a marinade (I thought).

I'm talkin about ajillo or mojito de ajo, not mojo.

Next you'll tell me you don't drizzle olive oil on your Yuca when you eat it. Who's suspect here??

FYI - my wife is boricua...I'm catracho. I can tell that in Honduras they have a dish called "Yuca con tajaditas" which has the boiled(?) yuca with thin-sliced green plantain and a side of some type of cabbage slaw with beets. I had it when I was little.

My godmother (RIP) was Cuban, and the only way I REALLY know how to eat yuca is with mojo. Neither my wife nor my mother-in-law cook cook yuca so I don't know how boricuas make it.

However, my sister-in-law's BF is Colombian and he cooks yuca by slicing it through a mandolin slicer and deep frying it. Yuca chips are GREAT!

We boil it and drizzle it with olive oil (galric powder/salt).

We also use it in Pasteles (I'm so hungry now!!!)

Peruvians fry it and it's

Pretty much all Hispanic food is just

I make pretty decent ham and bean soup, delicious chicken in cilantro sauce, and my chicken and rice porridge always gets compliments.

I love ham and bean soup. Or most soups.

What's Chicken in Cilantro Sauce???

[Edited 8/20/10 19:52pm]

1 bell pepper, 1 jalapeno, 1 tomato, 1 onion, and 1 bunch of cilantro blenderized.

chicken pieces marinated in a blend of black pepper, red wine vinegar, salt, and minced garlic for an hour or so, then pan fried in a bit of oil with a chopped onion until the onion pieces are translucent.

pour the blenderized sauce over and cook for about 5 minutes, then add water till it covers the chicken, stir, and cover and simmer for about 35 to 45 minutes.

Serve with rice.

OOH I might have to try that! Might leave out the jalapeno for personal taste. Thanks!

My Caribbean friends always knew how to throw a bunch of shit in a blender and make an amazing sauce. It's a skill I want to learn.

Yes he's Trini. Funny thing is that most men there just eat at fast food places pretty much every day though .

I never cooked for him yet, but just assisted him when he cooked .
