When I lived back in Florida there was this little Puerto Rican restaurant that had “El Jibarito” sandwich. It was delicious and one of Hubby’s favorites. It is a steak sandwich between two huge tostones, which are fried plantains. After church yesterday I was trying to figure out what to make for lunch and this popped into my head.
Jibaro is a term that refers to the people of Puerto Rico that lived in the heart of the island. They were the backbone of agriculture in Puerto Rico, working sugar cane and coffee fields.
Is this “good” for you…..no. Is is delicious….YES! I mean look at it, I know you want to eat it.
