DECEMBER 2008EL BORICUAAs a child in the 40’s in Vieques, el Día de Reyes was asimple but festive occasion. At around noon we took oursmall rickety fishing boat to Fajardo to visit with Mami’sside of the family. The boat was a sight for sore eyes, filledwith our family and with flowers, gifts, food, guitar, tambor,güiros y maracas. I still remember Papi’s beautiful toothlessgrin as he loaded all of us – 10 children into the small boat.Once in Fajardo we had to walk about half a mile toAbuela’s house carrying everything that we brought on theboat. Mami always made her delicious Arroz con Coco andthat is now part of my own family’s Christmas Dinnertradition. The gifts were simple as was the food, but we hadthe best time ever – and we never thought of ourselves aspoor. Those are the sweet memories of my youth .Ana Díaz, OrlandoEL BORICUA, the monthly cultural publication, makes agreat holiday gift for family, friends, neighbors, teachers,and acquaintances.Don’t miss giving the gift that lasts the entire year.

Yum!!!PAGE 6Feliz NavidadA Puerto Rican AguinaldoModern, but still Puerto Rican, Feliz Navidad, a Christmassong by Boricua José Feliciano has made it to the top and isnow considered one of America’s favorite Christmas Songs. Infact, it has become a top iTunes download and ASCAP(American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) hasplaced it among the 25 Greatest Holiday Songs of the Century.This Puerto Rican song is also considered an aguinaldo(Aguinaldo a Puerto Rican Christmas song) and is sung atmost parrandas by Puerto Ricans around the world. When youhear this song at the malls – remember who wrote it – JoséFeliciano, a Boricua.José was born blind, to humble beginnings on September 10,1945, in Lares, Puerto Rico. One of eleven boys, his love affairwith music began at the age of three when he first accompaniedhis uncle on a tin cracker can. When he was five, his familyimmigrated to New York City. Young José learned to play theconcertina at age six, using a handful of records as his teacher.Venturing beyond the accordion, he taught himself to play theguitar with undaunted determination and again, with nothingbut records as his teacher, practicing for as many as 14 hours aday. Exposed to the rock-n-roll of the 50's, José was theninspired to sing. At 17, José quit school. His father was notworking at the time and he needed to help his family. Heplayed in coffee houses in Greenwich Village and for his salary-- as was customary during that time period in small clubs -they'd "pass the hat". The rest is history . . . .Feliz NavidadFeliz NavidadFeliz NavidadFeliz Navidadpróspero año y felicidad.Feliz NavidadFeliz NavidadFeliz Navidadpróspero año y felicidad.I wanna wish you a Merry ChristmasI wanna wish you a Merry ChristmasI wanna wish you a Merry ChristmasFrom the bottom of my heart.
DECEMBER 2008Octavas and Octavitas are ancient CatholicChurch traditions going back centuries,brought to the island by our Spanishancestors. The celebrations are in honor ofLos Reyes Magos.EL BORICUAPAGE 7Los ReyesA Puerto Rican TraditionThree Kings Day is celebrated on January 6th. That means that on LaVíspera de Reyes, the evening of January 5th – Puerto Rican childrenwill head outdoors with a pair of scissors and a shoe box to cut grassfor the kings camels. That night they will place their “wish list” ontop of the grass and place the box carefully under their bed.Los Reyes in ChicagoPlacement is very important, push it in too far and los Reyes mightmiss it. Leave it out too much and it might get accidentally shovedaway. Los Reyes must find the box and read the list while theircamellos eat the grass. In the morning of the 6th – children wake up tofind their gifts under their beds.Papi and Mami celebrated Christmas the “PuertoRican way.” They especially liked to celebrate LosReyes – it was a magical time in my life.January 6th is a Holiday and kids won’t have returned to school yet.They will spend the day much like Christmas Day is celebrated.Playing with toys while Mom cooks a great traditional holiday meal.On the Víspera de Reyes (the ‘eve’ of ) they wouldthrow a big party. Papi had fixed up the garage sothat it looked like a ballroom at a fancy hotel. Hehung shinny wallpaper on the walls, hung velvetdrapes over the garage doors, and laid large ceramictiles on the cement floor. There were two Christmastrees in the garage with just white blinking lights andlots of blinking lights on the ceiling. Mi parentscooked for several days and roasted several pernilesand even made pasteles for that night. Family andfriends came over and they danced and sangaguinaldos.Just before the party we followed PuertoRican tradition and filled our shoe boxes withstraw for the camels - our wish list on top.In the morning gifts from Los Reyes were under ourbeds. We were the only kids in the block withChristmas gifts in January. If it was a school dayMami kept us home to celebrate. She also invitedour neighborhood friends to play with our new giftsand served Christmas cookies and eggnog. Then sheexplained to them about our Puerto Rican Christmas.All our friends were jealous.

JANUARY 2008EL BORICUAPAGE 8The Rican ChefAsopao de PolloQuick RecipeMore than a soup, not quite a stew. Comforting, fragrant asopao de pollo,chicken and rice stew, is one of the best loved island criollo recipes.Carmen Santos de CurranThe Rican Chefelboricua.com/recipes.html6-lb. chicken, cut into small pieces½ cup sofrito2 tbsp. Adobo1 tsbp. salt1 tsp. black pepper10 cups water1 cup green peppers, finely diced (cubanelle or bell peppers)2 medium onion, minced3 tbsps. olive oil4 oz. smoked ham, diced1 8-oz can tomato sauce2 cups medium grain rice½ cup peasStuffed olives, capers, pimiento strips, peas and diced avocado for garnishBoil the chicken in water with sofrito, Adobo, salt and pepper, for about 20 minutes or so until tender. Use a fork to separate some of the larger piecesof meat and remove any bones.While that is cooking stir fry the onions and peppers in oil for a few minutes,add the ham and cook until ham is a bit brown (just a few minutes). Add thetomato sauce and bring to a boil. Set aside.Once the chicken is done add the onions and pepper mixture to the chicken.Add the rice and cook another 25 minutes or so. Once it is done add thepeas, olives and capers. Garnish with pimientos and avocado.A las dos de la mañana – noscomimos un sopón, y se nos pegóun dolor – allá por la madrugada.How to make this recipe even faster? Make it ahead without the riceand freeze it (don’t add the rice until you will be serving because therice will keep expanding). Heat, add the rice and serve. I like tocook the chicken in a crockpot or pressure cooker (30min). Then Ifreeze this until I need it. This will be like a thick soup or a stew.You might have to double the recipe for a large party.Our on website we have the recipe for Pasteles.Check it out.

DECEMBER 2008EL BORICUAPAGE 9The Rican ChefTemblequeA traditional dessert2 14-ounce cans coconut milk2¼ cups sugar½ teaspoon salt1 cup cornstarchground cinnamon for dustingPernilEasy recipe10 lbs pork roast with skin4 tps. each coarse salt, coarsely ground black pepper, groundoregano.12 tps. garlic powder, or diced/mashed garlic½ cup vegetable oilRemove skin from the meat and set aside. Cut deep gashes onthe meat with a sharp knife – lots of them. Mix the seasoningtogether with the oil. Season the meat using all the seasoning.Season the underside of the skin only. Place the meat on aroasting pan. Cover it with the skin – skin side up and salt iton top. If you want ‘cueritos’ don’t cover the meat.Roast at 350 degrees for 5-6 hours. Don’t turn the meat. Testfor doneness using a fork. If the side of the meat is tender,then it is done – the juices should run clear.This is even better if seasoned the night before.Serve with boiled guineítos verdes.To boil the guineítos verdes . . .Buy them just before you need them. Cut off both tips and cuta slit down the middle – from one end to the other. Boil withskin for about 10 minutes in salted water. They should be softin the center. Serve immediately. You can drizzle them witholive oil. Yum! (Boiled guineítos can be frozen for later use.Just reheat them in boiling water.)Order green plantains and bananas from the localwholesale produce vendor. Tell them not to ‘gas’ them– that you need them very green. They should be reallycheap and you will have to buy a whole case, which isnot too much, really. You can split the case withsomeone else if you can’t use it all.In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk with the sugar and salt.Bring to a full boil and cook for about 6 minutes, stirringoccasionally.In a bowl, combine the cornstarch with ¾ cup of water and, witha whisk, mix well into a slurry.Immediately pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook,continuously whisking until it thickens into a pudding, about 2minutes.Remove from the heat.
