Roasted Chicken

Sweet Plantains

Black Bean Risotto

Smoked Mushrooms

Method

Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.

  4. 4

    Rest

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Sweet Plantains

  1. 5

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into diagonal slices about 1 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Fry Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the plantain slices in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 7

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried plantains and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Black Bean Risotto

  1. 8

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Cook Rice

    Add Arborio rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat the rice with oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  3. 10

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  4. 11

    Finish Risotto

    Stir in the cooked black beans and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Smoked Mushrooms

  1. 12

    Prepare Mushrooms

    In a medium bowl, toss sliced mushrooms with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 13

    Cook Mushrooms

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
