Guava with Fried Cheese / Guayaba con Queso Frito


Hello! So today I made my son guayaba (guava with fried cheese).  How can you fry cheese, you say?  Well I used to think that was crazy until I found out that there is a special cheese that you can fry. It is made by Tropical. The label says 'A fresh white cheese for frying.'  I found that in the supermarket and VOILA!!!  Below you will find images of what you will need for this quick simple and delicious appetizer.
 

Ingredients:

Tropical Queso de freir
12oz. guava paste (Any brand)
1/4c water 

Procedure:
* Cut up the guava paste into small pieces.

* In a small sauce pan add the water and the guava squares.  Stir with a wooden spoon until all the guava is dissolved.

* Cut cheese into one inch squares, then cut them diagonally.

* In a frying pan (or any fryer that you have), fry the cheese triangles until golden brown.

*Serve the fried cheese hot to dip in the guava. Mmmmmmmmm.


DELICIOSO!

Pernil (Pork Shoulder)

Image
                                                                          Pernil is a delicious slow cooked piece of pork shoulder or pork butt. It is usually eaten during the holidays. Puerto Ricans make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve or Christmas  dinners but it is also eaten for celebrations. When I was growing up, my mother made it for Christmas Eve. I make it randomly.  If I have time I make it during the day but if I'm taking it as a dish somewhere, I make it over night in the oven.  Two years ago I was making it for a luncheon at the school where I worked and my oven broke down. I panicked! I didn't know what to do. I took out my two slow cookers and put one pernil in each at about 8:00p.m.  At 5:00 a.m. my pork was completely cooked and totally delicious. (No crackling skin though.) Here are two ways to make pernil.  Ingredients 1/4 cup sofrito 10 garlic cloves crushed (divided) 2 Tablespoons adobo 1 Tablespoons, garlic powder 2 teaspoons, achiote or 2 packets of
