My dad was 75% Puerto Rican. Hes mother came over to America when he was 2 & my uncle was 4 years old. So we was raised on Puerto Rican food. Thats kind of the only food hes mother (my grandmother) knew how to cook. Dad didnt cook very much but when he did this was hes go to dinner dish. I dont make it a lot, but tonigth when I was going thru some papers I came to my dads recipe for this. It is yummy we all loved dads Hekka. It's times like this I miss daddy the most.
