Los Tres Golpes: Dominican Breakfast

Time: 60 minutes

Servings: 2

In Baní, the Dominican Republic, Los Tres Golpes is plátano, salami, eggs, and cheese. Most people make this food for breakfast. In my family, we make this food when we wake up sometimes on the weekend. This food looks nutritious enough. This food tasted great: like in my case every time I eat this I feel like I’m in my country. This food always makes me think about my life when I was in the Dominican Republic. A memory that I have that is very special is when I moved here to Boston, I missed this food and tried it here in Boston and it was not the same as how they did it in my country. After a year I decided to go to my country and the first food that I found when I arrived at my mom’s house was this food Los Tres Golpes. This food makes me feel connected to my mother because she knows that I love this food for breakfast. My family’s recipe is unique because many people use the same water they boiled plantains in to mash them. When you try this recipe, you will feel good that you are trying a different culture’s food. This food is delicious, it looks great and is nutritious
