Marinated Chicken

Corn Salad

Fried Plantains

Stewed Yellow Beans

Method

Marinated Chicken

1

Prepare Marinade

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.

2

Marinate Chicken

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

3

Grill Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Corn Salad

4

Prepare Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

5

Dress Salad

Drizzle lime juice over the salad and season with salt and black pepper. Toss well to mix and serve chilled.

Fried Plantains

6

Slice Plantains

Peel and slice ripe plantains diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

7

Fry Plantains

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Stewed Yellow Beans

8

Prepare Beans

Rinse and soak the yellow beans in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

9

Cook Beans

In a pot, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add soaked beans and vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until beans are tender.

Rice

10

Cook Rice

In a pot, combine long-grain rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
