This is one of my favorite dishes! My mom does it the same exact way! Especially the “sofrito”! Great to have Cuban roots

This is awesome I made it with Chicken Thighs and I used this recipe for the Mojo:

Mojo Ingredients
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 garlic cloves, pressed
salt, to taste
black pepper, fresh ground, to taste
Directions
1 Add all ingredients to a small jar, cover and shake for 2 minutes (I used a blender).
2 Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

I did not use the 3/4 cup olive oil for the Pollo Asado as the Mojo marinade had plenty of oil. I also added 1/4 cup of white wine (Chardonnay) to the Mojo

I served it with rice and cuban style back beans from Trader Joes and squeezed fresh lime on top of it all.

Ben, are you kidding me???You’ve never heard of chile colorado? It’s so common here along the border and in Juarez. Anyway, it’s delicious and I hope you try it. Maybe you know the dish by another name. BTY, who won the bake-off? I know I probably didn’t, but was wondering who did.

Yellow rice is nice and fragrant. I have eaten Indian yellow rice and look alike but may taste different

I was born and raised on a farm. The same thing happened as you. Up early and start dinner early. We always had fresh food on the table. Our food was french canadian. I learned a lot from my mom cooking with her at a early age.

I love anything “asado”. I bet cardboard asado would be delicious. I’ve always found “asado” meats to have a simple but perfect spice blend. Good stuff Bren and Ben. Very odd how close your names are. And is Herrera a common last name? It’s my girlfriends last name too.
