You ever go to a Mediterranean restaurant and you’re left in awe at all the sauces, dips, and spreads? I mean, I worked at one spot in high school, back when I wasn’t very savvy with too many cultural cuisines, and I’ll never forget how shocked I was at everything. From the hummus, to the tabbouleh, to the baba ghanoush, I could not believe I had been deprived of all these great things all that time. So, let me put you on to one of my favorite Mediterranean sauces: Tzatziki.

Pico de gallo, also known as salsa fresca, is one of my favorite sides when enjoying a classic Mexican dish. The flavors are fresh and balanced, and it adds a spunk of flavor to tacos, quesadillas, and even tortilla chips. Well, there’s going to be a tiny bit of cooking in my recipe. Instead of chopping up raw tomatoes, with the guts and all that involved, we are going to be making tomato concasse. What’s that you may ask? Well it’s French for “crushing” and refers to a cooking technique that involves scoring, boiling, and peeling. Once peeled, the seeds are removed to eliminate any bitter tastes, and then the tomato is diced. And what you’re left with is a perfect tomato that’s ready to be enjoyed raw.

This is mango habanero chicken wings recipe is my favorite because it is a combination of sweet, fresh mango and spicy, earthy habanero. The flavors get perfectly balanced with the addition of lime and honey, so be sure not to skip that part! But seriously, as someone who is not the biggest fan of buffalo wings, this is the next best thing. The heat is there, but it’s contrasted so well with the mango! Now all I have to do is find a bomb dipping sauce recipe to pair these wings with… Stay tuned for that. The best part about this recipe is that once you get your hands on a pack of wings, a mango, and a couple habanero peppers, everything else you need is probably already in your pantry.

Pastelón is a dish traditionally found in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. However, just because the recipe is the same doesn’t mean the techniques are. In a traditional Puerto Rican pastelón recipe, you’ll find that they don’t mash their plantains. Instead of boiling and mashing the plantains, they slice the plantains long ways and fry them. I’ve actually tried that technique once before and though it was unique in texture and delicious, I prefer the Dominican technique. The plantain is smoother and it holds together a lot easier. Pastelón is meant to be the Caribbean version of the Italian dish Lasagna. Plantains plays the role of the pasta, beef plays the role of the beef, and mozzarella plays the role of the parmesan and bechamel. For the full recipe go to: https://breakthrukitchen.com/2021/04/06/pastelon-recipe/ For more recipes like this got to: https://breakthrukitchen.com/ Pastelón What do I need to make pastelón? Ripe plantains. Plantains are practically the straw of the show in this amazing lasagna remix. Make sure they’re nice and ripe! Ground beef. Whether you choose turkey, beef, pork, or chicken it’s up to you! You could even make this vegan by substituting the beef with lentils, mushrooms, and literally so much more. Pretty much anything ground works. Onion. Garlic. Green Peppers. Necessary for flavoring the ground beef and for adding a fresh touch. Mozzarella. Creates the gooey top layer that we all love. Seasonings. Caribbean flavors are a must in a pastelón! Butter. Needed to yield smooth, buttery mashed plantains. Can I make this with green plantains? This recipe is intended to be made with ripe plantains for the flavor contrast of the sweetness in the plantains and the saltiness in the beef and mozzarella. So, you could definitely make it with green plantains, but I don’t know if you could still call it a traditional pastelón. Can I make this with the Puerto Rican technique? Of course you can, and if you’ve already tried my technique I strongly encourage you to try out the other one! Just make sure you add a scrambled egg to your pastelón to make sure the layers stick together. With that addition, you can use my recipe for that technique too!

Tres leches is a notoriously delicious cake. Click here for the full recipe https://breakthrukitchen.com/2021/03/03/tres-leches-cake-recipe/ Click here for more recipes like this https://breakthrukitchen.com What is Tres Leches? It’s simply a sponge cake soaked in three different kinds of milk, and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. And given the name, it’s no surprise that this is a very popular cake in Latin cultures. It literally translates to “three milks” in Spanish. What are the three milk? The three milks are condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. They make the cake sweat, moist, and light. Each bite is like a delicate, spongey cloud. And no I’m not exaggerating. Before I ever had tres leches, I kinda thought it was over-hyped. But i remember the first time I ever tried it, and I was stunned. It gave me tiramisu vibes with the soaked cake, but it carried it’s own uniqueness. It doesn’t have any bitter contrast in flavors like tiramisu has, but it does have a lightness to it, that doesn’t make you want to stop eating it. Like, it’s not overly sweet or rich to the point where it’d be painful to finish one slice. This is the type of cake that makes you want more. The frosting A big factor in the lightness of this cake is the frosting. It’s a light, mildly sweet whipped cream frosting that works excellent with soaked cake. Top it with fresh fruit and you’ve got yourself an A+ cake right there. Will all that milk fit into my cake? It may not seem like it will, but the cake will soak up every last drop of milk. Just pour slowly and evenly along the entire cake, and don’t forget the edges! Thank you for watching my Tres Leches recipe, if you decide to try it out tag me on instagram @breakthrukitchen.
