VIVA LA PANTRY! Chefs say to stock up on these items to add Latin flavor to your cooking. DULCE DE LECHE. It’s caramelized cow’s milk, often sold in a jar or can. Drizzle it over ice


cream, use it to flavor cakes or eat it by the spoonful. SOFRITO. A blend of onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro and more, it is sold in jars. Use it on rice, beans and chicken. GUAVA PASTE.


 Try this thick spread, made from the tropical fruit, instead of fruit jams, or serve slices with cheese. COCONUT MILK. Add this to stews and include it when cooking rice, preparing


desserts, and making alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. MASA HARINA. It’s a form of corn flour in which the corn kernels are first soaked in an alkaline solution. Use it to make tortillas


or to thicken stews. _—Marisel Salazar_
