« Previous | 1 | 2 | 3

From the beachfront kioscos of Puerto Rico come rich, flavorful recipes that bring the tropical tastes of the Caribbean home.

Puerto Rican Recipes

It’s true that Puerto Ricans love to fry things but there’s also plenty of simple, healthy food like habichuelas, the slow-cooked red beans we now serve back in Minneapolis. When I cook them I always measure them against the ones I tasted at the very first kiosco I visited. ”

I bring these cooking lessons home in my head and in my hands, and when we make bacalao either from salted, dried cod or fresh fish, I can see my cute Puerto Rican friend working over her iron pot that sits on smoldering wood coals. If I close my eyes I can almost see the ocean and taste the food of the Isla del Encanto, the Island of Enchantment, even in Minneapolis.

—Scott Rosenbaum is the executive chef at Wilde Roast Café in Minneapolis. He’s interested in food from around the world and is always looking for new flavors and culinary experiences. “Food is a common experience we all share in an uncommon way.
