Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated in the United States between September 15 and October 15. It pays tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have influenced our society in a positive way. To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, I partnered with Rumba® meats and will be giving away twenty wonderful cookbooks! The books are comprised of a collection of traditional recipes from twelve different Latin American countries, created by twelve influencers, all featuring Rumba® Meats products.
My Lengua en Salsa Criolla (Colombian-Style Tongue in Creole Sauce) recipe is one of the recipes in the cookbook titled “Recetas con Raices” or “Recipes with Roots”. There are many variations of Lengua en Salsa Criolla, depending on the region and even the family that prepares it. This is my grandmother’s recipe and it’s very easy to make and full of flavor.
Best of all perhaps, you can make a difference! By purchasing Rumba Meats® during Hispanic Heritage Month, you will be supporting La Cocina, whose mission is to help low income food entrepreneurs by providing them affordable commercial kitchen space, technical assistance and access to market opportunities.

Colombian empanadas! I can't find anywhere in Manhattan that makes Colombian empanadas, and I don't love deep-frying at home, so I'm usually beside myself when I go home and my mom makes a batch of empanadas with some of my dad's homemade pique =)

I grew up in the US, though I was born and raised by Colombian parents. Unfortunately I don’t cook nearly as well as my mom does but I give it my all to try to impress my equally Americanized salvadorian husband. My all time favorite recipe is Sudado De Pollo from this web site. I know it’s kind of simple but it’s so authentic and it takes just as good if not better then my moms version. And the great thing is that it’s SO simple even my husband learned to make it, which is always a plus for my busy schedule

I haven't had lengua in so many years that I can't remember what it tastes like My favorite dish is Peruvian Lomo Saltado. My mom used to make the best homemade french fries to add to it and the steak was so flavorful. I might have to make some soon.
Ashley Marin
Ajiaco is my favorite! My Colombian husband is so happy that I found your page several years ago and love to make some his favorite recipes even here in the states!

So hard to pick one out of so many wonderful options! It'd say AJIACO. which is somehow mild, rich and flavorful if that makes any sense. This is one of the dishes I make to introduce Colombian food to my friends in the US.
