| CATERING DINNER MENU Mains Carne Chorizada (Spiced Beef and Vegetables)
This is the quintessential Nicaraguan Dish, consisting of ground sirloin beef which is slowly simmered in a stew of onions, garlic, tomatoes, Latin spices and tropical vegetables, and is served with rice, black beans and a host of specially prepared condiments and side dishes: fried plantains, sour cream, Picante sauce and Encortido (a salad of shredded cabbage, green onions, tomatoes and herbs). Pollo Chorizada (Shredded Herb Chicken and Vegetables)
Very similar to the Carne Chorizada from above, but uses herbed shredded chicken in place of beef.

cabbage, green onions, tomatoes and herbs). Costilla de Cerdo (Marinated Pork Short Ribs)
These ribs are marinated in a host of spices for over 24 hours and slowly braised in their own juices until they become lightly crispy on the outside and remain tender throughout. Served with rice, black beans, fried plantain chips, Picante sauce, sour cream, and Encortido (cabbage, tomato and green onion salsa/coleslaw). Camarones a las Brazas (Grilled Marinated Shrimp Wrapped in Bacon)
The shrimp is marinated over night in a citrus and jalapeño marinade then wrapped in bacon and grilled in the broiler.

Arroz Con Pollo (Spanish Style Chicken and Rice)
The most typical of all dishes, and one that is found in one variation or another in every Latin Country, this is a rice dish made with a sauce of tomatoes, olives, petite peas, and shredded herb chicken. Once all is cooked and combined, it is slowly baked in the oven until light and flaky. The chicken in this dish can be removed and replaced with more seasonal vegetables, and makes for an excellent vegetarian alternative. Served with fried plantains and a shredded cabbage, tomato and scallion salad. Oven Roasted Mojito Chicken
