Further exploration of Plantain Dumplings, aka Asopao de Gandules, version 2.

I’m considering this a failed recipe, shared to document my journey, not because I think you should try it. I set out to look at plantain dumpling recipes, but there’s several different types of plantain dumplings and I didn’t focus in on a specific one, so my recipe wound up kind of tough and chewy. On top of that, the soup recipe I came up with lacks seasoning.

Asopao de Mariscos

Asopao de Mariscos is a seafood and rice stew popular in Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean. I made several errors in my cooking process, but even so the dish was tasty, and I’ve tweaked my recipe so hopefully you won’t make the same mistakes!

Puerto Rican Asopao de Pollo

Asopao de Pollo is a chicken and rice soup from Puerto Rico. It’s full of tasty vegetables and Caribbean flavors, good for warming up on a cold day, but just as tasty any other time.
