Arroz con Pollo Arroz con Pollo
Theres a woman run latino restaurant near me thats run by woman. Im sorry, but the latino ladies always seem to make the best food. Needless to say, they make an incredible Arroz con Pollo, and I asked for the recipe. They wouldnt give me everything, nor would they give me the amounts, so I did my best. Turned out delicious in my opinion. I hope you try this and enjoy it as much as I did. Chez Ryionn -
Carnitas Carnitas
I concocted my carnita recipe from a few other recipes. All ingredients can be adjusted to your taste. I usually put it in crockpot but I have been known to put in on the grill as well. Some recipes call for added fat but I feel the pork produces enough on it's own it's not needed.Stephanie
