Bodega food

[strife]

I work in a predominantly Latino area and I hit the bodegas frequently which probably explains my current girth issues. I'm looking for recipes, I love the roasted pork and the baked sweet platanos. The arroz amarillo con habicheulas kicks ass. Everything seems to be cooked with lard and the same spice base. The lard I can substitute for but I can't figure out the seasoning.

Thanks

Don't. It's one of the reasons it is so bloody rich in flavour! Just dance the night off afterwards to loose the love handles. :thumbsup:
Now, for recipes; which latin cuisine would ye like?

The seasoning is called mojo criollo. Look it up on the net for some recipes. That is the key.

Aaach! I just smoked a CAO criollo! The marinade looks tasty but the pork I'm referring to doesn't have a citrus flavor. I will give it a go though, it does sound tasty.

Leave it alone, splurge. Now I'm heading to my favorite bodega on grand for dinner.
