Guayaba-Glazed Churrasco con Ajo Mofongo
Historia
When Don Luis was a young man, he saved up para a special dinner at a tiny restaurant tucked away in the mountains de Puerto Rico. He still remembers the sizzling sound de the churrasco hitting the grill y the chef brushing a guayaba glaze over the steak like it was a secret ritual. That first bite? A flavor explosion! 💥 Sweet, smoky, garlicky, y a little tangy. Years later, Don Luis recreated that magic in his rustic kitchen para his grandson, using guayaba paste y a touch de vinegar to balance the sweetness. He paired it con ajo mofongo — mashed plátanos verdes con crispy cerdo y aceite de oliva, just like abuela used to make. 👴🏼🥄 “This,” he said, handing over the fork, “is how you remember who you are con every bite.” Time & Nutrition
