Pair this meal with radishes, avocado, queso fresco, a lime wedge, and you’ll have very happy guests. Chopping onions and peppers can irritate your eyes, so keep Manzanilla Sophia with you to soothe and rest your eyes after those long cooking sessions.
3) Pernil
This tasty Puerto Rican barbeque is a delicacy amongst Latinos. The tricky part about Pernil is mastering a tender inside while having crispy skin. To achieve that, bake it at a low temperature for 2 hours in a covered baking dish with some broth or water. Remove from the oven at the 2 hours mark, add more water to the baking dish if needed, then bake again for 2 more hours. After that, bake on high to obtain that crispy, tasty skin. Some great sides include; tostones, guacamole, rice and pigeon peas (another Puerto Ricans staple), pickled onions, baked beans, or green salad. Pair with any sides you want. We wish you good luck making this deliciously complex dish and hope you can impress your guests.

5) Arroz con Leche
An absolute delicacy from Latin America and Asia, also known as rice pudding in the United States, arroz con leche will have your guests licking their spoons. The difference between rice pudding and arroz con leche is that in Latin countries, the rice is cooked directly with milk and a few cinnamon sticks instead of adding milk after. This technique yields thicker and richer rice. All you need is rice, milk, cinnamon, whole cloves, and a few other ingredients. Here is a complete list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions on how to make this mouthwatering dessert. Do not let your family and friends down this Christmas, and prepare some delicious arroz con leche.
