Roasted Salmon with Pineapple Marinade

     The combinations of flavors in the marinade pair nicely with the salmon. You'll love the rich flavor and firm texture of the salmon. I place it on a bed of fresh green beans flavored with a butter garlic sauce.

Empanadillas de Harina de Maiz

Image
     In  Puerto Rico we called empanadillas.  Many other countries in the world have them as well, but they are more commonly known as empanadas in the United States. No matter what they are called, empanadillas are one of those treats you dream about it.  Made with plain flour, precooked cornmeal (masarepa) or fine yellow cornmeal they are a pleasure to eat.    I made two recipes using 2 different types of corn flour to see which one was tastier and easier to make.   This is my version of a recipe, from a very old cook book I brought  from Puerto Rico many years ago. In this recipe I use yellow cornmeal and the result is a crispy empanadilla with a strong corn flavor.                              Recipe #1 Ingredients: 1 cup corn flour 2 cups of water 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon unsalted butter 2 cups of oil for frying 1 baking sheet covered ...
