Chilled Coconut Milk And Pineapple Drink
(Refresco De Coco Y Pina)

What You Need:

2 cups coconut milk, made from 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh coconut and 2 cups hot water
(or use canned coconut milk)
2½ cups coarsely chopped fresh pineapple (can also use canned pineapple)
2 tablespoons sugar
Almond extract (optional)

Method:

1. Combine the coconut milk, pineapple and sugar in the jar of an electric blender and blend at high speed for 30 seconds, or until the pineapple is completely pulverized and the mixture is reduced to a smooth puree.

2. Pour the entire contents of the blender jar into a fine sieve set over a deep bowl and lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth.

3. Press down hard on the pineapple with the back of a spoon to extract all its juices before discarding the pulp.

4. To make the drink by hand, rub the chopped pineapple through a fine sieve set over a deep bowl or force it through a food mill. Stir in the coconut milk and sugar.

5. Taste the "Refresco de Coco y Pina" and add more sugar and a drop or two of almond extract if desired. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

6. To serve, pour the drink into tall tumblers with or without ice cubes.

To Make: about 3 cups

Answer 4

Hello im from the DR and like native things a 14 year old can do? lets see there are platanos or maybe Asopao but platanos are easier you just cook them in a steaming pot for like 2 min.
For Asopao you make a soup and add some rice (enough rice) and chiken and potatoes. Also you can make Coco RIce. You make rice and then you mix it with coconut sauce dunno if you have it there its the easiest to do. Also there is something we call Chimi which kinda like a hamburger but with everything on it... beans, onions, tomatoes, and some sauce but you have to make it look bad cuz its mostly made on the streets. There is also street corn which is normal corn but you make it in a big can with hot water from the ocean its really good and easy to do. I know im not very helpful but we dont really eat native food.

Answer 5

Do you have to cook it your self? Have your parents pick something up from a Spanish/Caribbean restaurant like fried plantains or Rice and beans. Google search!

Answer 6

here are a couple of recipes. the chicken recipe has red wine, but I imagine that it burns off in the cooking process..

Chicken - Crazy Dominican Chicken ~ Pollo Loco

INGREDIENTS:
.
6 chicken breasts (cook as per instructions and cut into ½ inch portions)
½ chicken broth cube
1 teaspoon of seasoning (Use complete season or what you like)
3 Tablespoons of Corn oil
¼ cup of Raisins
½ Cups of Mayonnaise
1 small onion (chopped)
2 teaspoons of powdered curry
1 Tablespoon of tomato paste
½ cup of red wine
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons of fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon of thyme
¼ teaspoon of oregano
Salt and ground pepper to taste.
.
PREPARATION:
.
Prepare a hot frying pan for frying the chicken breast. Place 2 Tablespoons of corn oil In the frying pan over a medium to high flame.
.
Coat or Dress the chicken breast with powdered seasoning (not bread-crumbs). You can use Maggi complete seasoning, Adobo or similar powdered “all season”.
.
Fry the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes each side. Add ½ cup of water and the ½ chicken broth cube by breaking it into a powder with your fingers over the pan. Place a lid over you pan and cook on a low to medium flame for an additional 8 minutes. Turn off and remove chicken breasts (save the broth or liquid contents that is in the pan for later use). You may want to place the chicken on a paper towel covered plate to drain off the oil. Cut the breasts into portions or ½ inch cubes / strips.
.
In a new frying pan add the other Tablespoon of Corn oil and place over a low flame.
.
Fry the chopped onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the curry, thyme, oregano and the liquid you have reserved from when you fried the chicken breasts. Also add an additional ¾ cup of water, red wine and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime-juice. Cook or simmer on a low flame for a few minutes, sufficient to blend and integrate everything in the pan and evaporate some of the water. Turn off and allow to cool down.
.
In a mixing bowl, add the ½ cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, raisins and salt & pepper to taste.
.
Strain off the liquid from the frying pan. If it is more than ½ cup, then use about ½ cup only. Add this broth or liquid to the mayonnaise mixture in your bowl (just the broth and not the onions). Add your chicken to the bowl containing the mayonnaise-raisins and toss together with the other ingredients.
.
Your crazy Dominican chicken is ready.
