A few dishes you might learn to cook are a main such as pollo en salsa criolla (Caribbean style chicken stew) or churrasco (skirt steak) with chimichurri, two side dishes such as arroz con gandules (traditional rice in Puerto Rico with green pigeon peas) or Caribbean style rice and beans, mofongo or yuca al mojo with sofrito (Puerto Rican seasoning), and a dessert. Your meal is served with a fresh salad. The menu varies and is created based on the season, availability of ingredients, and guests' dietary restrictions.
