Hello everyone!,

Today I bring you another of the big classics of the Dominican and Caribbean cuisine: the “patimongo”!

What is a patimongo? As we might be able to deduce from its name, it is a dish born from the combination of “patica de res” (beef feet) or “patica de cerdo” (pork feet) and guts (mainly intestines) Both are very traditional and popular foods in the Dominican Republic, but the mixture is without a doubt one of the favorite plates. Excellent for a day of rain or a cold day, but we can find it in the famous cook offs (“cocinaos”), along a Domino playing party or even as breakfast, accompanied by a noble yucca or green boiled plantain.

The quantities will vary depending on the number of diners. This recipe’s good for 6 good eaters.
