Pal Corillo Recipe

Marinate the meat

Cut the pork shoulder and chicken thighs into chunks. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the meat and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the meat

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated pork and chicken until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Prepare Cheese

Cut queso blanco into slices. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cheese slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Prepare Guava

Once the cheese is done, spread a layer of guava paste on top of the fried cheese and serve warm.

Slice and fry plantains

Peel and slice the green plantains into thick pieces. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Fry the plantain slices until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Season with salt.

Prepare Mofongo

Fry the green plantains until golden brown. In a bowl, mash the fried plantains with garlic, pork cracklings, olive oil, and salt until well combined. Form into balls.

Prepare filling

In a skillet, cook ground beef with diced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, cumin, and salt until the meat is browned. Let it cool.

Assemble Empanadas

Take empanada dough and fill with the beef mixture. Fold over and seal the edges. Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Mix the salad

In a bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, hot sauce, diced celery, diced red onion, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until combined.
