Every culture has it's favourite chicken recipes, and this Spanish-inspired Dominican Pollo Guisado, is festive, fabulous and absolutely delicious. Given the colonial history of the Dominican Republic, with its European, African, and Taíno Indian influences, this former Spanish colony has adopted many Castilian recipes and reinvented them as their own, but with a uniquely Dominican twist like this Pollo Guisado with Chorizo, Peppers and Potatoes. Dominican cooking varies region to region, with most dishes in the country's Creole menu based on rice, meat, beans and vegetables, and to a smaller degree, fish and seafood. Meat dishes tend to be very well cooked or even stewed, a tradition stemming from the lack of refrigeration on the island. Dominican cuisine, compared to other parts of the West Indies, includes milder spicing and use of native ingredients such as onions, garlic, cilantro, cilantro ancho (culantro), ají cubanela (cubanelle pepper), and oregano, that when mixed together, take on their own unique personality, culminating in a uniquely rich, festive and flavourful cuisine. Braised Spanish Chicken with Chorizo, Peppers & Potatoes Serves 4 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges 1 medium red onion, cut into 8 wedges 1 lb new potatoes, quartered 8 whole garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 8 plum tomatoes, quartered 8 oz chorizo Spanish sausage 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika 1/2 tsp fresh or dried oregano 1 tbsp orange zest 1/4 cup sliced or halved pitted green olives 1 green pepper, seeded and julienned 1 red pepper, seeded and julienned 1 tsp Maldon sea salt freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish - optional Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the onions, new potatoes, garlic and tomatoes into a large roasting pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give the mixture a gentle toss and roast for 20 minutes. While the vegetables are roasting, skin the chorizo and cut into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Place the chicken thighs on a cutting service and lightly score the tops with a sharp knife 2 or 3 times. Season with black pepper. Mix the paprika, oregano and orange zest in a small bowl and set aside. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, sprinkle the chorizo over the vegetables and give the mixture a good stir. Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with the olives and paprika mixture. Season with a little salt and return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and using an oven mitt, tilt the pan so all the juices run to one end, then spoon the juices over the chicken. Then arrange the sliced peppers around the chicken and vegetables, turn the oven up to 425°F and bung the pan back into the oven for another 20 minutes, or until the peppers are just softened and the chicken is crisp and golden brown. To serve, arrange the chicken, peppers, chorizo and potatoes on a large platter, drizzle with the pan juices and garnish with a flurry of chopped cilantro if you wish. This dish is wonderful served with Saffron Rice or a warm baguette to sop up all of the juices.

Mangu is a traditional Dominican breakfast item of mashed green plantains and topped with pickled red onions. This would typically be eaten with a fried white cheese and fried salami, but you can also eat this as your side dish to bacon or sausage and eggs.

dir. Melitta Tchaicovsky, Pepe Ozan, 2004, U S A, 54 min. Screening at 10th International Latino Film Festival - San Francisco Bay Area on 11/16/2006 @ 6:00 PM - @ Dominican University of California (San Rafael) Shot in the homeland of the Gypsies, Rajasthan, Northwest India, "Jaisalmer Ayo! Gateway of the Gypsies", captures the lives and journeys of vanishing nomadic communities who are believed to share common ancestors with the European Roma. For a period of seven months, the filmmakers followed the lives of snake-charmers, dancers, storytellers, salt-traders, metalworkers and musicians travelling from village to village in their struggle for survival. From the open roads of the desert to their temporary encampments, the film documents their pre-medieval way of life, weddings, shamanic rituals, music and dance. A camel cart journey of snake-charmers and singers on their way to Jaisalmer serves as a thread to the story connecting the various episodes on the different nomads found along the way. The images, supported by minimal narration, carry the viewer through the intricacies of the Hindu caste system and the groups endogamous professions, similar to those practiced by the Gypsies in Europe. The remarkable sound track of emotional Rajasthani music merges with the rare visuals to take the viewer through the ancient ways of the last generations of nomads remaining in the region.

A couple of months have passed since my last blog, and several things have happened. Beginning in April and ending in June, I taught a business class under the Peace Corps youth entrepreneurship curriculum of Construir tus Sueños (Build Your Dreams). There was a lot of interested youth in my community, so I formed two classes at the request of students, one section held on Sunday afternoons for four hours in the community center and the other section for two hours on Tuesday and Thursday nights in a community church space. The Sunday class was much calmer, with only six students sticking it out to the end from the initial 14. The Tuesday and Thursday group was a much rowdier bunch, with 15 remaining from the initial 25 students that showed up on the first night. Through hours of working through 14 sessions exploring different business themes from entrepreneurship to feasibility studies, business plans, marketing, basic accounting, budgeting, cost and pricing analysis, etc. In the end 21 students graduated from the course on Monday, June 13th. We had our last session followed by a party, giving out certificates, playing a common game El Secreto, lots of photos, soda, salami, cheese and crackers. After completing the course, they now have the option to work on their business plans individually or in groups to enter into a national competition that will take place over three days at the end of September. If their plans are selected they will compete to win various prizes including the opportunity to have their business fully or partially financed. Many are up to the challenge and excited for the competition, and are working out the details of their plans that they started while in the course. (Photo: Class of 2010, Constriur tus Suenos) Another happening in June is the Mango Festival/Expo, that takes place annually in Bani. Sun Fruits Cooperative, Inc. (Fruticoop) was there selling their products, along with many other producers and stands. It is incredible I had no idea that there were so many varieties of mango—well over 25 (not sure how many exactly)! The festival was inaugurated on a Wednesday night, with traditional dance and costume performances by youth, as well as colorful modern dance performances featuring booty shaking provocative routines ‘fit family fun’. Workshops, food, free coffee, mangos to your hearts delight, and live music. And let us not forget the inescapable heat of Bani! I worked three of the four days and we moved a fair amount of product, our new and improved mango marmalade was a big hit. Photos: Band with traditional dance; Mango Madness at Mango Expo 2010; Mangos (photos by Gabriel Socias): It is Patronales season in Villa Fundacion, and the town is alive with nightly live music, DJs, dancing, and fritura (fried foods) on the central plaza. Patronales is an annual 10-day celebration honoring the town’s patron saint, San Juan Bautista. Every town has one that all fall on different weeks of the year. There are nine days of prayer or novena, starting two days before Patronales begins. So far we’ve had an array of musical guests, including Dominican singer Juliana, los Pepes, infamous for their hit single repeating Pepe over and over again with illicit undertones and double entendres. Still to come is Alex Bueno, who sings bachata, salsa, merengue and more, Los Años Dorados, Los Hermanos Rosario (merengue) and and bachatero El Chaval. Relatives living afuera (outside) in the US in NY, Boston, Florida and elsewhere sign into live video chats and feeds of the party, with a camera scanning the crowd and relatives greeting each other via live feed. All is featured on a large screen in the park. Besides that, I have the usual trips to Santo Domingo to multi-task and get everything done at once. Beach trips to Juan Dolio and Derrumbao, which is the Caribbean side of Punto Salinas that has beautiful snorkeling. Tarantula hunting in my house (they like to kick it at my place), this usually consists of me grabbing a stack of four or five books for the battle and hurling them across the room. Just living that relaxing campo life, reading, listening to the chorus of farm animals and working on projects. My project is up on the Peace Corps Partnership Program website, check it out and make a tax-deductible donation today to support the women of Fruticoop, Inc. working in dried fruit and marmalade production using solar technology: https://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.donors.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=517-386. Most of all right now I am looking forward to my visit to California in just one week! Cannot wait for a break and two weeks with friends and family!
