My first ever Puerto Rican habichuelas and Woww 🤤 here’s the recipe 👇🏼✨👩🏽‍🍳

Ingredients for the beans:
-2 cans of pink beans (habichuelas rosadas)
-1 onion, chopped
-1 tablespoon of oil
-½ Puerto Rican pumpkin diced
-1 tbsp of minced garlic or garlic paste
-1½ tbsp of sofrito
-1/2 tsp salt and oregano
-1 packet of sazon with culantro and achiote
-1 can of tomato sauce (8 oz)
-2 cups of water
-A handful of fresh cilantro

 Instructions for the beans:
1.Start by chopping the onion and cutting the pumpkin into small cubes.
2.In a pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
3.Add the chopped onion, garlic, and sofrito. 4.Cook on medium-low heat for a few minutes until the ingredients come together into a flavorful base.
5.Add the tomato sauce, water, diced pumpkin, cilantro, and pink beans. Stir everything well to combine.
6.Let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft and the stew thickens slightly.

Note: Once the pumpkin is cooked and the sauce has thickened a bit, it’s ready! Just make sure not to let all the broth evaporate.
 
Pork Chop seasoning:

Tostones (Fried Green Plantains)

Ingredients:
-2 green plantains
-Salt (to taste)
-Oil

Instructions:
1. Peel the plantains and cut them into thick slices.
2. Heat plenty of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is bubbling, carefully add the plantain slices.
3. Fry them on both sides for a few minutes until light golden (but not browned).
4. Remove from the oil and flatten each piece with a tostonera or any flat kitchen utensil.
5. Fry the flattened pieces again until crispy and golden.
6. Place them on paper towels to remove excess oil, sprinkle with salt, and they’re ready to enjoy.
