Puerto Rican Mango Salad

Cuban Black Beans

Cuban Ropa Vieja (means “old clothes,” or shredded flank steak stew)

Mojitos

When making mojitos, please do yourself and your guests a favor and use GOOD Cuban rum; that means NO BACARDI. Get the good stuff, folks!

Caipirinhas

For a Brazilian mojito (a Caipirinha), use cachaça instead of Cuban rum and omit the mint, as you will see in this video:

Flan Dessert: How it’s Made in Spain

I assume most people know what flan is, but for the clueless, it’s sort of a Latin
crème brulée with a caramel sauce instead of crunchy burnt sugar.

This video illustrates how flan is made in Spain, which is not poured into individual ramekins, but is rather served as one large custard dessert to be sliced. Yum!

Enjoy your Latin food this fall. I sure will! :-D
