Tostones con Turkey y Ajo Sauce
Historia
There was a special day in Don Luis’s kitchen where the rain danced gently on the windows, y the smell de ajo filled the air like a warm hug. Little Nico had just come back from soccer practice, his shoes muddy y his smile wide. “Abuelo, I’m starving!” he declared. Don Luis chuckled, tying his signature jean y leather apron tight. He looked at the ripe plátanos verdes y leftover turkey from the night before. *“Perfecto,”* he whispered. He knew exactly what would satisfy a growing boy’s hunger—a crispy batch de golden tostones con savory shredded turkey, all drizzled con a creamy ajo sauce that had been passed down para generations. By the time Nico took the first bite, his eyes lit up brighter than the kitchen light. “You made magic, Abuelo.” y just like that, another memory was sealed in the rustic walls de Don Luis’s kitchen.
