	Simple Cuban Black Beans & Rice in a Rice Cooker by John Spottiswood I've loved cuban black beans and rice ever since I lived in Weehawken, New Jersey and ate at the Unica Cafe. This recipe takes some short cuts and uses a rice cooker, but I still think the results are delicious. Try this under any caribbean grilled meat, fish or stew and you won't be disappointed!	5 votes 2 reviews 5 comments 65067 views
	CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style by Amos Miller My buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche! He tells endless tales of trying ceviche, which is seafoods 'cooked' in nothing but citrus juice. Ed always said that the ceviche he would eat by the gallon, if he could get it, was that he had in Costa…	7 votes 4 reviews 8 comments 113597 views
	Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime Marinade by John Spottiswood These steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called…	5 votes 4 reviews 7 comments 58860 views
	Honey and Sea Salt Plantains by Sean Kervin The humble plantain seems to be one of the most misunderstood fruits in the grocery aisle. Most people pass over these green bananas in favor of their more popular yellow cousins, yet they are wonderful to cook with. Treat them just like a potato and boil, fry, or mash them for a slightly unique experience. This recipe is very…	3 votes 3 comments 37664 views
	Cuban Pork by John Spottiswood I adapted this recipe from a very popular cuban pork recipe on Allrecipes. I used boneless country style ribs instead of pork roast, because they were on sale and easier! I also boiled instead of roasting, because I find it makes the pork even more tender. I was very happy with the results. Incredibly flavorful and wonderful over…	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 20824 views

	Grilled Pork Chops with Caribbean Wet Rub by John Spottiswood We served these pork chops over black beans and rice. It was a great combination. We took the wet rub from a recipe for pork tenderloin in Cooks Illustrated. I'm not sure it's powerful enough for a tenderloin unless it's butterflied, but it was wonderful on the pork chops. Normally we brine our pork chops before putting on the rub.…	4 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 16179 views
	Dutch West Indies Chicken Kebabs - Boka Dushi by John Spottiswood This dish offers an amazing collage of flavors blending Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish and West African flavors. Personally, I prefer the marinade and dipping sauce on these kebabs to traditional Indonesian satay. The heavy sweetness of the Indonesian peanut sauce is replaced by a tangy, spicy and slightly sweet mixture of peanuts,…	3 votes 2 reviews 12131 views
	Spicy Cuban Ropa Vieja by John Spottiswood I wanted to serve a slightly more flavorful version of Ropa Vieja, the classic cuban beef dish, over black beans and rice for a friends' pre-christmas dinner. I paired it with a pork stew and both were hugely popular. I used tri-tip and it shredded wonderfully. This can be made with a cheaper, tougher piece of meat, but when Tri-tip…	1 vote 1 comment 7403 views

	Cuban Style Curried Turkey by Denise Sherin I got this from a Crockpot Cookbook, its low fat and easy to prepare. Serve over rice, couscous or noodles. Leftovers are good mixed with scrambled eggs and served in flour tortilla for a quick breakfast burrito.	1 vote 6834 views
	Cayman Johnnycake by Parsley Sage An old staple recipe in Cayman is the johnnycake. Oh man, they're good. They're also mix-and-matchable. You can go savory or sweet by serving it with something like garlic butter or even honey. Johnnycakes are pretty easy to make too which sparks a big thumbs up from me. Thumbs up from Mrs. Herb Garden too who is currently…	1 vote 1 comment 5312 views
	Jamaican Chicken by John Spottiswood Jerk chicken (and pork) is so famous in Jamaica, it's easy to forget that the island has other barbecued dishes. Among them is this incredibly flavorful, fall-off-the-bone-tender chicken. It's probably best cooked with a whole chicken, but I've only done it with chicken pieces. Also, if you're in a rush you can skip the marinade…	5 votes 1 review 7211 views

	Papaya Pie by Parsley Sage I've mentioned before that Clark Kent and I volunteer with Cayman Wildlife Rescue. Every few weeks, we drive out to Savannah to clean the cages, change out the toys, provide showering services and lavish with treats the six rescued Cayman Parrots that are currently in recovery. They love papayas! If they could eat it in pie, they…	1 vote 4878 views
