On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Lizbeth Muller, and today we're going to make Congri.
Now let me tell you about the selection of pork that we're going to need. We need pork
fat, and sometimes it's hard to find in the stores, but you want it where it has a lot
of fat; a little bit of meat, but more fat than anything because we're going to use the
oils, the fat from this, the juices to make the rice and the Sofrito for later. We're
going to need, of course, the fat from this bacon. And you want all types. It doesn't
matter what type of bacon you get, just as long as it's plain bacon. You cut it up. OK?
So let's talk about also needing tomato sauce. We're going to need tomato sauce for this
ingredient. Just very little of it. You don't want a lot. Just a dab of tomato sauce for
the Sofrito. The Sofrito is going to be a red-based Sofrito that's going to be added
to this black rice.
