Well, not really but I made a bunch of food from those two countries last week in class. Here are a few pictures for you to drool over.   The picture above is a chicken and rabbit paella….it was pretty amazing.  Walked Tyler through the process and he made an amazing Paella!

This is a Filet de Porc Farci Lyonnaise a.k.a. Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Ratatouille.   Give a Puerto Rican some Pork…..this is what happens! Look at those rings in the middle….rolled the meat like sushi….yes!

This Fabes con Almejas a.k.a. Asturian Bean Stew with Clams.  I couldn’t bring myself to puree the beans. I liked the look of the contrast between lima beans and cannellini beans…..also, I like clear soups….

Coming soon……Italy and India

Tapas Time!
