The Best Dominican Dish has to be....

[Mirador]

My old time favorite is boiled lobster sautered in slightly piquant creole sauce, accompanied with fried green plantain slices smothered in salty garlic sauce. Of course, you have to enjoy it sitting by the beach overlooking the Bahía de Neiba. And if you don't believe me, just ask Mr. KFC himself...

I picked my mother on my way home Friday night so she could spend the weekend and continue our ritual of making sancocho at least once a month. She and my wife spent the better part of Saturday morning driving around buying the freshest ingredients available; I didn't get home early enough Saturday to kill a fresh chicken from our flock so Foster Farm fowl was used. White rice and aguacate were present at the table along with Salsa Maya from Yucatan(xxx-hot from chiles habaneros). I slept soundly last night and will have sancocho for lunch in about an hour from now.
My neighbor has some goats for sale and I'm thinking of getting one for a weekend of "chivo asao y guisao". My next challenge is getting a case of Presidente our here in the sticks and getting some Dominicans to drive out here from LA. Life is good!

I never said there were exclusive of the DR. What I did said was "we all love at least one Dominican dish."

The extra taste must be attributed to regional rivalries.

Only a sureño would say such thing Mirador, oh I forgot, you are a sureño.

M.A.R,

You used to eat the ahuyama boiled like potatoes?

I have to go back there and boost my immune system back up by eating up some ahuyamas and castanas.

When I go there I always get my aunt to make me another dish that enjoy soooo much. Spaguetti con habichuelas....mmmmmmm that with some white rice is all you need to tickle that tummy.

Or at Esperanza a freshly caught and bbqed fish with some yucca, lemon and a presidenté

Oh yes ahuyama cut up into 4-6" pieces and boiled they added a little salt back then but when I make them now I don't add any salt, cooked for a few minutes covered cause squashes don't take long to cook, their own sweetness comes out and its awesome.
I remember as a little girl we ate a lot of a particular produce cause when it was in season everybody had them.

La Bandera Dominicana is the best

Chivo guisado with totones(el diablo que hambre tengo)


Mogondo is good

Asopao is nasty
