Puerto Rican
Arroz amarillo y frijoles con alitos de pollo frito.
Easy to do with the presure cooker. Brown some onions, garlic, green pepper, cumin seeds, oregano,paprika, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Add fresh or can tomatoes, dried kidney beans or other. and pour in chicken stock or water till beans are just covered. Add a splash of white wine and a splash vinegar. Close up the pressure cooker lid and bring to temp until the pressure release valve is rattling. Then turn to med-low for about twenty mins a half hour.
For the rice while the beans are in the presure cooker. Just brown some onions, and garlic in oil, add chopped green peppers, chopped tomatoe, chopped carrot, peas cumin seeds, ground anato seeds, salt pepper, oregano, a little tomato pasteand stirr. Add the washed rice toss a little and then add water. Bring to a boil,cover and then simmer on low till all of the water is absorbed. Uncover right away and let it breath for a little while before serving.
For the chicken wings. De-articulate them and discard the tips or cut them prior to making beans and make a chicken stock with them. Thats what I do. Wash the wing pieces and pat them dry now sprinkle them liberally with Anato seed powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
Pan fry over med heat in a half inch of oil till crisp, turn over and do the same.
Man, I really really love Puerto Rican food. I dont know why it gets such a bad rap.
