Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally inept in the kitchen...it's just that Edgar's mom is
that good. She knows how to add a pinch of this and a flick of that to make cardboard taste like filet mignon. It's incredible...magical even. I, on the other hand, am a champ when it comes to following recipes. That's why when Edgar cooked up some traditional Dominican fare the other night (feeling pretty lucky) I documented the ingredients for future purposes.

In case you're curious, it's super easy. Simply saute the onions until they burn (whoops! forgot the oil in my illustrated menu) and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook over medium high heat, covered, until the rice is nice and done (about 20 minutes). It's really quite terrific.

What a cute idea - an illustrated recipe. I'm so jealous of your drawing skills! My life in IARC would have been so much easier if only. Hahaha!
Okay....now I think two have to do a cookbook!!! If anything maybe a downloadable ebook we can pay you via Paypal!
Great recipe documented and a really cool recipe card for the files!!!
this is exactly how i cook. i saute onions until they burn, and then throw everything else in. and as long as rice is involved, it always turns out!
My grandma taught me to make this. I never knew what it was called. I thought it was a Puerto Rican thing...
the foodie in me is in love with this sketch!!! I could just see several like this hanging in my kitchen :) plus, it sounds delightful...am definitely going to try it!
