Hurricane season has started, and with it the uncertainty that comes with this annual visit of weather events to the Island. While you wait for the winds to pick up, why not experiment in the kitchen?
Here are recipes from TikTok and Boriliciouss that you should add to your menu.
Did the power go out? No problem. Many of the recipes are easy to make with ingredients you probably already have in the pantry.
1. Chicken sandwich
A classic for when you have no power. The most important things are having a gas stove and keeping track of what's in your refrigerator so you can use it before it spoils.
2. Plantain soup
Another classic of Puerto Rican cooking, and for good reason. Any event, weather-related or not, is always easier to get through with a good plantain soup (for the stomach and the heart).
3. Puerto Rican canoas
Before the wind carries the plantains off your patio, turn them into some good canoas. Bori also put together a vegan version, which you can watch here.
4. Mangú con los tres golpes
For those looking for something more international, what better way to put plantains to good use than to follow the lead of our Dominican neighbors with a mangú con los tres golpes.
5. Macaroni salad
If you're feeling that traditional Puerto Rican spirit, you can also go with a simple macaroni salad. An option good enough to eat on its own.
