Dominican Flavours

👇🏽 A little secret for cooking meats from a Dominican mom!
After marinating chicken or pork, we brown a teaspoon of sugar in a pot and then add the meat. We leave it untouched until it develops a deep golden-brown color, then flip it and repeat on the other side.

This simple step adds color, depth, and richness to the dish. It’s the foundation of many traditional recipes, from chicken and rice to hearty soups, stews, and sautéed meats.

It’s one of those small techniques that makes a big difference in our cooking.

Have you ever cooked meat this way, or is this your first time hearing about it? 👇🏽
