Sara’s Weeknight Meals: Season 10
Episode 1010: From the Latin Kitchen
On this show I tour Latin America by way of it’s kitchens when I cook with two amazing Latin American cooks. First up, Chef Letitia Morenos Schwartz takes me to a Brazilian café to taste some of the unique flavors of her native country; then we shop for some ‘only in Brazil’ ingredients at a specialty market. Back in the kitchen, we put a Brazilian twist on salt cod, or bacalhau with a Salt Cod Stew. Later, a superfan by way of the CIA (and not the cooking school) joins me to make an essential dish of her native Puerto Rico – Pigeon Peas with Rice (Arroz Con Gandules) or Arroz Con Gandules, followed by her addictive Tostones (fried plantains).
