Help!!

I am a Spanish teacher to 2nd grades and we are coming to the end of our unit. I would like to cook something that is from a Spanish speaking country. The only problem is it has to be quick and easy. I am also a full-time student and don't have much time. Can someone please help me?! Thanks, Anne!

Make a heaping quantity of rice for each plate...........dump a heaping amount of red or black beans on top..........take a machete and splinter the appendages of a chicken then fry it in a ton of oil being careful not to drain any from the chicken before serving and toss it either on top of the heap or to the side if you wish a better presentation and you will have a typical Dominican meal for the little ones!

Bill,

You make Dominican food sound like it just thrown together. There is a technique to making dominican food and you dont just "dump" food on a plate. Obviously you have never cooked dominican food or you've never tasted good dominican cusine.

Have a great day!!

Please help me!! I have till Sunday!!

Dear Joyce,

After 10 years of dining in D.R. I know cuisine and Dominican should never be used together.

Buen provecho!

Bill

Hi Anne...I wish I had a recipe for you...Dominican food is terrific (don't listen to Bill!). If someone could post a recipe for the bean sauce that is wonderful over rice (habichuela?) I would be eternally grateful.

Good Morning Bill,

WEll Bill after living in the DR for 10 years, I think your wrong.

Have a nice day!!

Joyce

We suggest you try making a simple Dominican drink:

"Morir Soñando" (Orange milk-shake) This is the recipe from María Ramírez de Carías Dominican Cookbook--

(Makes 4 servings)

Ingredients: 2 cups milk, 2 cups orange juice, 2 cups cracked ice, 4 tablespoons sugar, or to taste.

Directions: Combine all ingredients in an electric blender until smooth. Serve immediately.

For more complex recipes see: http://www.dr1.com/English/TRAVFood.html http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/3348/creolefood.html

That won't work due to the fact that I have to make it ahead of time. The Spanish teacher at my college mentioned someting called "puddin de pan" does anyone know how to make this?

Pudin de pan translates to Bread Pudding.
