MMM casi puedo sentir las palmeras y la arena. Pescado con arepas, un clasico de la costa venezolana,  o pescado con tostones de platano verde, pescado con alguna ensalada verde las opciones de acompañamientos son variadisimas. Para hoy arepa,platanos  maduros fritos  y pescado. Sin falsas modestias ,El publico aplaudirá  creanme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredientes:&lt;br /&gt;Un pargo entero,limpio, abierto y desvicerado , alguna pescadería de confianza puede hacer ese trabajo por ti,en este caso estoy cocinando un pargo de 1 1/2 kgs,  para unas 4 o 5 personas.&lt;br /&gt;Cebolla 1 mediana&lt;br /&gt;cebollin 2 tallos&lt;br /&gt;ají dulce 4 medianos&lt;br /&gt;ajo 1 cabeza  pequeña ( pelados)&lt;br /&gt;limón  y sal al gusto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzCu2YzzSI/AAAAAAAAAug/a7d_79G0L0Q/s1600/IMG_5528+ytk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzCu2YzzSI/AAAAAAAAAug/a7d_79G0L0Q/s400/IMG_5528+ytk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525004953006099746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparación y Cocción.&lt;br /&gt;Picar los vegetales en julianas finas  y cubrir el pescado con  jugo de limon y un poco mas de sal al gusto , tambien puede sazonarse con pimienta negra si les gusta.precalentar el horno a 350° C&lt;br /&gt;Sofreir los vegetales en aceite neutro como maiz o girasol .Una breve cocción apenas para que las cebollas se blanqueen y el cebollino se cocine un poco.&lt;br /&gt;Una vez cocidos estas vegetales rellenar con este salteado el pescado  , muy especialmente la zona de la cabeza cuyo vacio los ayudara a hacer el espacio necesario. Bañar todo el pescado con un poco más de jugo de limón.La cantidad de vegetales y el tiempo de cocción del pescado va a depender del tamaño del pescado, si se usa un pescado mas pequeño tambien debe recordarse que por muy suave su carne esta variedad tiende a tener más espinas, o por lo menos se hacen mas evidentes.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzEU0MbjlI/AAAAAAAAAuo/7T-_Nwa7UMc/s1600/IMG_5529+ytk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzEU0MbjlI/AAAAAAAAAuo/7T-_Nwa7UMc/s400/IMG_5529+ytk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525006704763965010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzErz71oeI/AAAAAAAAAuw/I0LYteirrOc/s1600/IMG_5530+ytk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzErz71oeI/AAAAAAAAAuw/I0LYteirrOc/s400/IMG_5530+ytk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525007099831362018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cubrir el envase  donde se va a hornear con papel de aluminio o papel parafinado para hornear de manera de que no se escape la humedad del pescado y ayude a hacer pareja la cocción. hornear , es enste caso el pescado estaba muy fresco y apenas demoró unos 25 minutos al horno, tiempo despues del cual retire cuidadosamente el papel y  volvi a colocar en el horno por otros 5 minutos para que la piel del pargo se dorara un poco. Retirar del horno dejar reposar unos 5 minutos adicionales y servir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzIa3wXnGI/AAAAAAAAAu4/mg3r2QoXlaI/s1600/IMG_5533+ytk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TKzIa3wXnGI/AAAAAAAAAu4/mg3r2QoXlaI/s400/IMG_5533+ytk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525011206845733986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not  writing about my recipes, does not mean not cooking, at all,but returning to this neglected but loved blog is a must with this recipe, a meal from the sea, a gift from Neptune any sort of deep  sea deity.A very imperative meal for those like me with  my family roots, linked to te seaside and it´s meals. In my country the  east  towns are very comon with fishing and fish as meal and such as for a way of living.The taste of summer.&lt;br /&gt;Honestly I can remeber where or when  I  firts cooked this dish, and 3 of my mother´s sibling got they very personal recipe for this same dish. A meal reminding me of holidays at the beach, sea breeze, and the palms sourrounded by sand.... Even making this dish on a grill or barbeque near the  beach .&lt;br /&gt;Typical  coastlands menu fish with arepas, fish with salad, fish and fried potatos, fish with  fried plantain chips..... mmm  yum! so many options as many tastes.You choose. for Me this time make fish with &lt;a href="http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/2008/09/arepa-and-venezuelan-brands-i.html"&gt;arepa.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True to be told you´ll get good compliments on this one.&lt;br /&gt; Ingredients&lt;br /&gt;a Whole fresh Red Snapper, cleaned, and opened in the midlle, no scales, no guts, only the inner bone, any reliable fish market will help you with this  task. this time  I cooked a 1 1/2 kg.  fish, serving abour 4 or 5 people.&lt;br /&gt;1 medium onion&lt;br /&gt;2 red onion branches or you can use celery instead&lt;br /&gt;4  medium chiles in this case those are not hot chiles a very comon chile or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aji_dulce"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;AJI dulce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   used both in colombian and venezuelan cooking. if you can not find this use as well a yellow bell pepper, similar in taste.&lt;br /&gt;lemmon or lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.&lt;br /&gt;Preparation and Cooking&lt;br /&gt;preheat oven at 350° c&lt;br /&gt;Slice finnely julienned  all the vegetables, and stir fry them in a bit of corn or sunflower oil, barely cooking them , just letting the onion get a clearer cooked color. Put salt and lemon juice all over the fish, inside out.Once this step is done proceed  to fill the fish with this stir fry mix, and carfully fill every space available, fish´s headd and mouth incluided. Add a bit more of lemon juice, and cover the fish (placed in a oven safe recipient) with aluminium foil or parchment paper, to avoid the moisture  to scape and to letting the cooking proceed in same temperature range in the whole fish.The size of the fish wil determinate the time of cooking as much as the ammount of the vegetables filling, if the fish is bigger you´ll need more fillin and more cooking time. you do the math. this one was ready in 25 minutes, afterwards i removed carfuly the paper and place for another 5 minutes in the oven to let the fish sking get a bit  golden brown.&lt;br /&gt;Take out from oven the fish and let it cool  for other 5 minutes. Enjoy you meal you deserve this fresh delight.&lt;br /&gt;the pictures are placed in order of preparation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5902580311497606175-431550099948809518?l=yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/431550099948809518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5902580311497606175&amp;postID=431550099948809518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/431550099948809518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/431550099948809518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/10/grilled-red-snaper-1-pargo-relleno-al.html' title='Grilled  Red Snaper  .

I`ll add you a few links  to read more about the history and references, http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arepa&lt;br /&gt;http://www.venezuelatuya.com/cocina/arepa.htm&lt;br /&gt;http://www.consulvenenap.com/gastronomia.htm&lt;br /&gt; I`m sticking to personal memoires of arepas for this blog. You make arepas for breakfast, you eat arepas with lunch, you have arepas for supper, you eat arepas after party or in the beach, in the lunchbox, with cheese, with leftovers, plain, with your soup, in every possible way you can imagine, that make you VENEZOLANO.&lt;br /&gt;The  easiest  way to make arepas is using precooked  corn flour, wich is a succes of venezuelan food industry, helping about 40  years ago to not loose the culinary tradition of making arepas, wich in its most tradtional way gives a little  effort to make,  the favorite brand is also the biggest corporation food in Venezuela , but  for Venezuelans, here , and  those venezuelan spread worldwide, the mere mention of the brand is a sinonimuous os AREPA, and the taste of Venezuela Bread.&lt;br /&gt;The corn flour is  similar to the polenta  corn flour, (tough i havent tried to make arepas with polenta flour),The Arepas have a few variations that i`ll do and explain in future post.&lt;br /&gt;I did arepas last night for supper and remembered one of the first  time when as a kid me and my cousins make arepas ; and a mess, cooking  for grandpa  Pepe, in one of our summer trips.Put your keds in the kitchen and teach them, it give them self confifence and  a good sense of responsability, As we get that  time, 3 girls a bunch of corn dough and a proud Grandparent... sure was a fine supper as the a fine summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arepa es el pan de Venezuela, es de todos los días, en cualquier lugar, a cualquier hora. Dicen que los Indios Caribes las inventaron, aun antes de que Colon llegara a América. Agrego aquí&lt;br /&gt; http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arepa&lt;br /&gt;http://www.venezuelatuya.com/cocina/arepa.htm&lt;br /&gt;http://www.consulvenenap.com/gastronomia.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; algunos links de historia y referencias de la arepa, pero me quedo con referencias e historias personales de arepas , en este blog. Se Hacen arepas para desayuno, arepas con el almuerzo, comes arepas de madrugada después de la rumba, en la playa, en las loncheras, con queso, con sobras, solas, con las  sopas, en cualquier forma posible  y te hacen sentir tan venezolano.&lt;br /&gt;La Manera mas fácil  de hacer arepas es usar harina precocida de maíz , la cual es un éxito de la industria venezolana de alimentos, , que hace mas o menos 40 años atrás consiguió impedir  que se pediera la tradición de  hacer arepas , que e su manera tradicional es laboriosa. La marca  Favorita del pais es parte del conglomerado industrial mas grande del país , lo cual no es de extrañar. Y la simple mención de esa marca  es sinónimo de arepas paras los venezolanos y habitantes de Venezuela y los venezolanos regados por el mundo., es arepas y el sabor del PAN  de Venezuela&lt;br /&gt; La harinas de maíz es muy parecida a la que se usa para hacer polenta, (confieso que no he intentado hacer arepas con masa de polenta). Las  arepas tienen muchas variantes que explicare en post posteriores.&lt;br /&gt; Hice arepas anoche y me recorde una de las primeras veces que me toco hacerlas, cuando era chica y mis primas y yo nos toco, en uno de los viajes de vacaciones,   hacer arepas , y un desastre, para mi abuelo Pepe. Buena prueba de que si pones a tus chicos en la cocina de cuando en cuando les da un buen sentido de responsabilidad y mejora su autoestima .  Asi fue  ese día con solo un poco de masa de maíz , 3 niñas y un abuelo orgulloso. Seguro que fue una cena rica, y unas  buenas vacaciones .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Arepas 4 to 6 &lt;br /&gt;Following the instrutions on the product. &lt;br /&gt;2 cups of corn flou, precooked&lt;br /&gt;about  3 cups of water&lt;br /&gt;pich of salt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;add the water to the flour and mixin by hand , and knead till the dough becomes soft, but not sticking to the palm of you hand.. divide the dough evenly in 4 or  six balls and using a  hot skillet or pan flatten slightly each ball trying to not loose re disc shape, and put each one in the skillet, wait about 8 to 10 minutes and using a spatula  flip them to brown both sides , ionce the daow soide is ready, place ¡each arepa in the oven for other 5 to 8 muinites or cover teh sillekt  with a lid  for 8 to 10 minutes.  VOILA! Your arepas are ready .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5902580311497606175-4112574496946459504?l=yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/4112574496946459504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5902580311497606175&amp;postID=4112574496946459504' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/4112574496946459504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/4112574496946459504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/2008/09/arepa-and-venezuelan-brands-i.html' title='AREPA AND VENEZUELAN BRANDS (I)'/><author><name>Nanay !</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02666073406241965382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TQbnpEXNV0I/AAAAAAAAAy4/PLyrKRByuhA/S220/foto%252814%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/SNvVb81clwI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Dca3VIf3F0U/s72-c/arepona+tag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902580311497606175.post-7380441999788771453</id><published>2008-09-21T18:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T11:33:50.790-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='decorated cakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chocolate'/><title type='text'>Choco Rock`n Cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/SNbyuM-lQaI/AAAAAAAAAM4/CJ0dfcQCg7c/s1600-h/choco+rock%60n+cake+edited.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/SNbyuM-lQaI/AAAAAAAAAM4/CJ0dfcQCg7c/s400/choco+rock%60n+cake+edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248649291318509986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  main ingredient of a  faboulous decadent, even cute  chocolate cake  is LOVE.

In my household the usual is eating them for lunch as i always have , like when i lived in my grandparents  house, (i lived here till age 11)and  a little  bit more after that... one of the most expected meals in the  house was the day  when my granny  have to buy the groceries  for the whole month, because that particular day cachapas were made. Leaving home early and buying the vegetables and fruits in different vendors  was fun and  unforgettable  experience  for me as a child. I remeber  that ,   In  that time we were a lot of people  to feed in that house so the amount of  corn  to buy was huge  and they were sold  by dozens ,  but grandma used to buy a big sac .  And  of course  she bought a bunch of  white cheese , or queso llanero, other local  special, to add  to her wonderful cachapas. Today I  probably will  use about  one dozen corn kernels or  a little more, and a little bit of  cheese,  for  feeding three or four people  in one meal, but no matter how much people eat here ,  thinking about those crowded,  noisy lunches always  make me smile. Cooking with a smile will this be .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 9 or twelve pancakes i´ll use :&lt;br /&gt;6 or 8 kernels of  fresh sweet corn,   pick the  freshest sweet  corn, like the one you´ll use for barbecue .&lt;br /&gt;¼ cup of  sugar&lt;br /&gt; 1 tsp salt&lt;br /&gt;water &lt;br /&gt;2 or 3 tsp of  flour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; remove the leaves of  kernels , and scratch the kernels  to remove  all the grains using a knife and being very carefull, if the kernels are fresh  the corn will be moist . after you are done with all the kernels, put the corn in a food  processor or a blender. Make a puree until you can not see or feel grains  .Put it on a  bowl and season with sugar and salt, and add as much water  as needed.  That  depends on how dry or moist   the corn is. Same goes  for the flour you might use it or not.The mixture  should be  not  too thin or too thick.&lt;br /&gt;If  youre familiar with making pancakes this step  will be no  problem.In a very hot oiled pan  put the mix , about 1/4cup mix for each  one, spreading a little  to make a round cake,   when one side is  cooked  flip to cook the other.&lt;br /&gt;Serve hot with butter and shreded cheese.  Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El maìz es una constante en todos los paises y culturas de Amèrica entera y Venezuela no es la excepciòn siendo las cachapas una de las muchas caras del maíz en la mesa venezolana.Una tortita de maìz tierno,  al que aca se le conoce como jojoto,  y que puede comerse como desayuno, brunch, almuerzo o cena con los mismos deliciosos  resultados, lo mas frecuente en nuestra casa es hacerlas de almuerzo tal y como se hacían desde cuando vivía donde mis abuelos , que fue como hasta los once años , o  hasta un poco mas de tiempo despues... y  una de  las comidas más esperadas era el dia de la compra del mercado para todo el mes, dia en que mi abuela hacia cachapas. Salir temprano de casa,  y comprar cada fruta o vegetal en un puesto del mercado diferente  era toda una experiencia para un chico de mi edad en ese entonces,lo que nunca he olvidado. Y además recuerdo que cocinar para  tantas personas qur en ese entonces vivìamos en la misma casa , requerìa de una cantidad  bastante grande de maìz que se compraba por docenas  tantas que era necesario comprar un saco completo. Y por supuesto compraba un montón de queso  blanco llanero, hecho de leche de vaca una  especialidad  local, para ponerle  a las deliciosas cachapas. Hoy dia si uso una docena de maices  y un poquito de queso es bastante para los dos o tres gatos que comemos en casa pero no importa  cuantos comamos , este plato siempre me recuerda los  concurridos y ruidosos almuerzos de casa de mis abuelos , robandome una sonrisa del rostro, asi que con sonrisa  y todo voy a cocinar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cachapas: para unas 8 o 9 tortitas&lt;br /&gt;6 u 8 mazorcas, dependerá del tamaño y de cuan tiernas esten  las mazorcas que puedas usar mas u obtener mas  cachapas.&lt;br /&gt;1/4 taza de azúcar&lt;br /&gt;1 cda de sal&lt;br /&gt;harina de trigo  3 cds  (ninguna o mas  si es necesaria)&lt;br /&gt;agua si es necesaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deshoje las mazorcas y desgrane cuidadosamente ayudandose con un cuchillo, hasta obtener todos  los granos de las mazorcas, posteriormente  coloque el maíz desgranado en un procesador de alimentos  o en la licuadora y trabaje hasta que no vea o sienta granos enteros  y la consistencia de la mezcla sea bastante homogenea, coloque en un bowl,  donde  sazonara con la  sal y el azúcar, la mezcla debe ser consitente pero debe tener algo de liquido y dependera de la textura del maíz si agregas el agua y el harina que necesites para darle esa consistencia,  ahora si estas  familiarizado con hacer  panquecas  este paso no sera problema por que es muy similar, poner  en una sarten muy caliente o una plancha aceitada  porciones de mezcla de aproximadamente  1/4 de taza  y se extiende formando una tortita, cuando un lado este cocido  se voltea para  cocinar por el otro, y se sirven calientes  con matequilla y el queso de su elección.Disfrutalo!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5902580311497606175-6131435038849609804?l=yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/6131435038849609804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5902580311497606175&amp;postID=6131435038849609804' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/6131435038849609804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902580311497606175/posts/default/6131435038849609804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yellowtiledkitchen.blogspot.com/2008/08/cachapas-or-sweet-corn-pancakes.html' title='CACHAPAS or Sweet Corn Pancakes'/><author><name>Nanay !</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02666073406241965382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/TQbnpEXNV0I/AAAAAAAAAy4/PLyrKRByuhA/S220/foto%252814%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RgmUGCBjq2E/SJkxW8KNJlI/AAAAAAAAAIc/sHDo4mxGnr8/s72-c/a+food+008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902580311497606175.post-8183767254346248378</id><published>2008-08-04T13:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-06T04:25:29.130-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='meat stew'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='meat.

This  dish can found some similarities in all latin america , like the Gallo Pinto in Nicaragua, or Moros y Cristianos in Cuba.I found in Wikepedia this brief explanation about Pabellon.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabell%C3%B3n_criollo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabell%C3%B3n_criollo"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tough is a very elaborated dish,cause  you cook black beans , the white rice, and the pulled meat stew as  individual recipes the results are worthy, the taste of homeland as many say.Like, Two weeks ago chatting with  good friend of mine now living in California, he told em about being homesick and craving Pabellon for killing the blues of being in other country. So for the migrant friends and  family,  here we are... Love You. Nanay&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pulled Meat Stew or CARNE MECHADA.&lt;br /&gt;Beef  meat about 1 pound&lt;br /&gt;Tomato Paste 1/3 cup&lt;br /&gt;Diced onion 1/2 cup&lt;br /&gt;Choped garlic 1 or 2 tsp (as much as you like garlic)&lt;br /&gt;Yellow, or green, pepper Bell,1/2 cup diced&lt;br /&gt;Worcestershire  sauce, 2 tsp&lt;br /&gt;Sugar 1tsp&lt;br /&gt;salt and pepper to taste.&lt;br /&gt;Boil the meat, long enough to get it  fully  cooked, remove from water and let it be completely cool, so you can begin pulling al meat shreads.usinf a fork for this purpose mught be useful.&lt;br /&gt;When you finish shreading the meat, in a  big pan or your favorite pot  fry , at low heat, the onions yellow bell pepper, and  the garlic  then add all the meat, stirring all togheter.&lt;br /&gt;Add the  tomato paste , worcestershire sauce, an  additional  1/2 cup of  water, sugar and seasoning with salt and pepper, let it stew covering the pot  for about 10 or 15 minutes, remenber the meat is already  cook and the sauce stew doesent take  to long.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Cuando tu le preguntes a un venezolano por el plato típico por excelencia, la respuesta seguramente serà Pabellon.El cual es el resultado del mestizaje de Los  gustos europeos, indigenas y africanos a traves de la historia de  nuestro pais.Pero los ejemplos de platos similares se consiguen  por toda latinoamerica, como  en el el Gallo Pinto Nicaragüense o los Moros y Cristianos de Cuba. Encontrè en Wikipedia una breve reseña  sobre el pabellon, tanto en inglés como español: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabell%C3%B3n_criollo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabell%C3%B3n_criollo"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aunque es un plato bastante elaborado por que hay que  cocinar como platos individuales los  granos, (caraotas negras), el arroz blanco, y la carne (carne mechada) el resultado  lo vale, o como dicen algunos, el sabor del  hogar. Como Cuando hablaba unas semanas atrás con un buen amigo, quien ahora vive en California, y me contaba de los altos y bajos del  vivir  afuera y el anotojo de Pabellon que tenía, para mitigar el guayabo de emigrar de pais.Asi que para los Amigos y familiares emigrados aqui`ta.
