Dominican Food Recipes

Making this article about the top 10 Dominican Foods has certainly made me gain 4 pounds at least

As I could not resist but to venture out and get me some home cooking after writing it. While the Dominican culture has many tricks up its sleeves when it comes to food, certain things are just universally a must in any REAL Dominicans bag of cooking tricks, here I give you the top 10 foods that all Dominicans know about, as well as should know how to make, along with some Dominican republic recipes.

SANCOCHO:

Oh and its all downhill from here panita (friend), as sancocho is the end all be all of the Dominican culture, this right here is what turns enemies into friends, friends into closer friends, and cousins into lovers… wait what? Never-mind that part.

I pride myself in being a great cook, and have never attempted to make this, it a great undertaking to make usually in large quantities as everyone you know will want some. It was the center of many a family gatherings when I lived in the Dominican Republic and the reason for many feasts in my youth. Now living in the United States, it is not as often as we get to enjoy this wonderful meal, so when the time comes it makes the event even that much more special. Serve it with rice and avocados and BAM, got yourself heaven.

Here is a link to the recipe for this, if you make it please let me know how it turned out. P.S. we are not affiliated to this site, nor make claims to anything they offer, but we do like their focus on the island and culture! We make love not war over here check out the directions here:

KIPES (QUIPES):

If there was ever a snack like finger food that I could eat every single day of my life, this would be it. I mean every single day, ever. I have also not tried to make this, but I do plan on it soon as it is something that after making you can freeze and simply drop on a deep fryer or over when you are ready to enjoy nirvana.
Its origins are actually middle eastern, who after migrating to the Dominican Republic brought along this wonderful Dominican food with them and it is now part of our culture. Also known as Kibbe or Kibbeh.

For the actual ingredients etc just check out the link I will give in a second, but for my description of it in a non-scientific way read this:
