One of my favorite foods to cook
and to eat is arroz con pollo. When I was little,my family used to cook a lot
of this food for family reunions. This dish was my grandmother’s favorite food.
I used to go into the kitchen when I was little and watch my grandmother cook.
When my grandmother saw me there, she told me that I cannot cook with her
because I was too little. As a result I stayed there until she finished. Later
on, I said to my grandmother “when I grow up I will be cooking with you.” Now I
will show you how to prepare this food.
The ingredients for this food are; coriander, garlic, pepper, red
pepper, peas, oil, onions, carrot, salt, and chicken. Now that we have the
ingredients, we can start cooking. First, we put a little bit of oil in the
pot. Second, cut the onions in cubes and place them in the pot. Afterwards, add
garlic, pepper, and red pepper. Next, we wait 3 minutes and add slices of
chicken .Than we tossthe peas and 4 cups of water. After the chicken is cooked,
we add 4cups of rice and a little bit of salt. Finally, we wait for the rice is
cooked and ready to eat.
When the food was ready all my
family sit in the large table to eat together , they all start to talking
stories about when they were kids. For
me cooking with my family is very important and fun because every day I learn
something new from them.
