The plans
- Puerto Rican · porkPuerto Rican Wednesday Family Supper
A home-ready Puerto Rican supper built around golden, achiote‑kissed breaded pork cutlets with classic arroz con gandules, crisp twice‑fried tostones, and a bright avocado‑tomato salad—balanced, family‑friendly, and easy to execute within a single two‑hour window. The menu showcases Puerto Rican sofrito and sazón flavors, keeps the shared spice level mild for children, and offers rum for adults plus a kid-friendly pineapple agua fresca.
- Puerto Rican · vegetarianSan Juan Family Mofongo Supper
A warm, family-style Puerto Rican supper built around freshly fried green-plantain mofongo mashed with garlicky mojo and filled with sautéed champiñones al ajillo, balanced by classic arroz con gandules and a crisp cabbage-carrot ensalada. The meal is homey, bright with sofrito and achiote, and finished at the table so textures and flavors are immediate.
