    "ENFERMERA CON ROLOS" COLORING PAGE

    Thank You to everyone that supported the "Enfermera con Rolos" release a couple of weeks back. We raised over $4000 and donated the funds to the Cover-19 Emergency Relief Fund by the Mayor of NYC last weekend.   The image of the nurse has been spreading around and has even made the cover of our local newspaper, the Manhattan Times

    As a gesture of appreciation, has converted the enfermera into a line drawing and is offering it as a colouring page for kids and adults as a free download. To download the page you can click here.  Please tag Peralta on social media, IG & Twitter @peraltaprjct, so he can see it. We would love to post it on a future blog post.

    Instructions

    • Seasoning the meat: Place the beef, pork and goat meat in a large bowl and season with lime juice, cilantro (or parsley), oregano, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt. Coat meat w./ the seasoning. Marinate for at least half an hour, better an hour.
    • Cooking the meat: In a large pot heat the oil over high heat, add the seasoned meats and stir (be careful with hot oil splattering). Cook stirring until browned. Add the remaining meats and corn, and cook stirring for a couple of minutes. 
    • Add water: Lower heat to medium and pour in the water. Simmer until it breaks the boil.
    • Add vegetables: Once the water breaks the boils, add auyama, chopped plantain, and root vegetables (ñame, yautía, yuca). Grate, or scrape with the knife the remaining plantain to make it into a pulp, add to the pot. 
    • Cooking: Simmer covered over low heat until the last ingredients you added are cooked through, it should have thickened a bit too. If it dries too much, add water as necessary. Season with salt to taste. Remove from the heat.
    • Serving: Serve hot accompanied with white rice (arroz blanco), avocado, and hot sauce on the side (best if you have agrio de
     
    COLOMINICAN VEGGIE SANCOCHO
     
    Ingredients 
    2 stalks celery 
    2 carrots 
    1 small yellow onion 
    1/2 kabocha squash aka ayuama 
    1 of any and all root veggies of your choice(potato, sweet potato, yuca, radish, yautia, etc.... I've also used 1/4-1/2 of a butternut squash)
    1 bay leaf 
    Salt and pepper
    3 cloves garlic 
    cilantro
    lime
    1 carton bone broth or vegetable stock ( you can also use water) 
    1 green and/or yellow plantain 
    cooking oil of your choice (Preferably one with a high smoke point but whatever you have can work) 
    Instructions
     
    In a soup pot under medium heat, add enough oil to create a thin coat on the bottom of the pot. Once oil is hot, add chopped up celery, carrots and onion for about 4 minutes or until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add chopped up garlic and cook for another minute. Add salt/pepper ( I have no idea how much I add, I eyeball this.... Maybe 1 tsp? lol... soup is very forgiving. I usually add some salt now and then add some more later when I taste test and adjust). Add carton of bone broth/stock and a couple cups of water, depending on how much soup you want to yield. Add chopped up kabocha squash (no need to peel the skin yet, you'll be removing it later and It'll be much easier to take off once cooked), and all the chopped root veggies you will be using. Throw in bay leaf and let soup come to a simmer and cover. Taste test the broth to check desired salt/pepper level and adjust as desired. After about 15-20 minutes, remove kabocha squash and cut of green skin. add squash to blender with some of the soup broth and blend. Add squash blend back into soup along with any plantains you want to add and let simmer for another 15-20 minutes, covered. Turn off heat and let soup cool for 10 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Other side options are hot sauce, avocado, rice, and/or a banana if you wanna be real Colombian. Good luck finding and removing that bay leaf, lol.

    Side note: the kabocha squash part is not totally necessary, you can also replace this with another squash and/or extra root veggies to thicken up your soup. You can also skip the entire process if you want a thinner broth.

    La Bodega is back!!!!

    So much has been going on in our lives lately.  Covid-19 has changed out lives forever. Peralta a few weeks back was inspired to create a piece of artwork as a "Thank You' to all the health care workers that are on the front line. Seeing footage of the nurses pleading on the news for help and other health care workers being pushed to the brink inspired Peralta to create "Enfermera con Rolos" where 30% of the proceeds go to the Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund established by the mayor of New York.  Today and interview with Tony aired on the local new Pix 11. Check out the interview with Marysol Castro below.
