Just wanted to thank Ms. Evette for posting this wonderful and delicious family recipe. I am not PR but I LOVE PR food and this is one of my favorites, Pernil!! I’ve made it about 5 times now and will be making it once again for our Christmas Eve dinner. Gracias Evette, Feliz Navidad y Prosero Ano nuevo! Saludos desde California!

Susan,

I married a Puerto Rican so I have learned how to cook many PR recipes. This website has puerto rican recipes and also sells and ships to the States many puerto rican items if you can’t get them locally (Goya products are great).

I need some more help regarding Puerto Rican dishes. My son-in-law is Puerto Rican and he misses the dishes that his family made. I’m Scotish so I need help. Please offer more Puerto Rican dishes. I want to do a PR Christmas for my son-in-law.

VIVA LA RAZA

I found these posts by accident and Aye, Padre!!! You are taking me back home!!! I’m a mix of PR, with twists of the Netherlands Antilles (Aruba/St. Maarten), French Antilles (St. Martin, Guadeloupe), Anguilla and the Dominican Republic!!! We are definitely having Thanksgiving a la Caribbean, arroz con gandules y platanos included. Now if I would just start planning my Christmas dinner early, I could really do a fully traditional Caribbean one…….with some sorrel, guavaberry, coconut tarts, a “ti punch”, mauby, black cake, roast pork, ham and so on, and so on ……

Thanks for wonderful memories!

These recipes are bringing back those fine memories from when I lived in Bayamon. I now live in North Carolina where my husband, not PR, and his family always have me cook something on thanksgiving. I think they like that latin flavor I add to the dishes. Just remember, before you start cooking, make some homemade sofrito. My grandmother sends me some every year, so I haven’t made it in a very long time, but I am sure some one here knows the recipe.

Thanks for the memories…I haven’t had Monfongo stuffing in years
