🇸🇻 Plato Típico Salvadoreño (simple + cozy)
This is far from authentíco but not bad for a white guy. 🤭😂
White rice 🍚
• Rinse rice
• Cook with water + salt until fluffy
Frijoles 🫘
• Simmer cooked red or black beans
• Add onion, garlic, salt
• Mash slightly for a creamy texture
Pollo guisado 🍗
• Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic, coriander, onion powder, cumin, and oregano
• Brown in avocado oil
• Add onion, bell pepper and let simmer before adding tomato sauce or paste, a splash of water or more if using tomato paste
• Add the same seasoning to the tomato sauce
• Simmer until tender
• Add the beans to this mixture
Maduros 🍌
• Slice ripe plantains
• Fry in coconut oil until golden
Plate it up, rice + beans + chicken, plantains on the side.
Simple food, real comfort. Make it much healthier by swapping out seed oils for more stable oils like coconut or avocado.
