Tony 'The Marine' Santiago, editor of our Military History Channel and an Editor with Wikipedia, also contributes general articles for our site. Tony shares the following with us . . .

Since ABC's sitcom stated that Puerto Ricans are great drug dealers, I wrote an article about two young Puerto Ricans who did not deal in drugs and became giants in the business industry. Read more click here.

 


Alcapurrias hints. When processing the guineitos and yautias in the food processor, make sure to simply grind them. If they are over processed the masa becomes too soft and moist. Take out any large lumps and put them back in the processor with the next batch. I grease my left hand, add half a cup of masa and spread that a bit, then add the stuffing, and begin to close my hand to close the alcapurria. Usually I end up having to add just a bit more masa here and there to close completely. Practice makes perfect. The more often you prepare them, the easier and faster it will go. Peeling the veggies is the hardest part. But hey, you only have to peel 5 green babanas and about 2 medium size yautias and you're done. Not that hard. Go easy on the salt.

Puerto Rican 101

      
Is it true that Puerto Ricans point with their lips?

Hey, I read that Bacardi Rum is not really Puerto Rican? Please explain?

You can find fresh recao in most cities in the mainland US.
