Rose's Chamorro Chicken Kelaguen image

Provided by ChamoritaMomma

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens, split in half
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, adjust according to taste
2 teaspoons salt, adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
2 -4 habanero peppers, chopped, adjust to your taste
3/4 cup freshly grated coconut meat, NOT THE SWEET BAKING KIND (optional)

Steps:

Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.

Rose's Baby Back Ribs Estufao image

Provided by ChamoritaMomma

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs baby back ribs, cut into individual riblets
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, freshly ground
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 -3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 bay leaves
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)

Steps:

Season the ribs liberally with kosher salt, then place the ribs in single layer in a large baking dish.
Combine the peppercorns and garlic in a small bowl and mash together with a spoon to form a coarse paste. Rub the pepper and garlic paste onto the ribs.
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and jalapeno. Pour this mixture over the ribs, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning ribs halfway through marinating.
When ribs are ready to cook, transfer the ribs and marinade to a large heavy pan. Bring the mixture and the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
Serve over steamed rice.
