请客请客，活泼热闹的内陆墨西哥菜

(2014-06-03 20:16:37) 下一个

长周末请了最好的两家朋友来家里晚餐。其中一家朋友指定要吃“interior mexican”内陆墨西哥菜。我去图书馆借了一本“Pati's Mexican Table”http://www.amazon.com/Patis-Mexican-Table-Secrets-Cooking/dp/0547636474，是我非常喜欢的墨西哥犹太妈妈Pati Jinich的菜谱书，挑了一些有代表性又喜欢的来试试看。

泡红葱丝Pickled red onion

http://www.patismexicantable.com/2009/12/pickled_red_onion/

泡过的红葱不再有辛辣，入口甜丝丝，脆生生，非常美味！重点是一定要新鲜现榨的葡萄柚，橘子和青柠檬汁。这道小菜是大鱼大肉的清新好搭档。

Bitter orange juice (or substitute: 1/4 cup each grapefruit juice, orange juice, lime juice and white distilled vinegar)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground

1/4 teaspoon allspice, or pimienta gorda, ground

1/2 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt, or more to taste (I add more... but I am keen on salt)

1 large red onion, or 2 cups, thinly sliced (cortada en pluma)

1 banana pepper, roasted, broiled or charred (may substitute for Jalapeño)

2 bay leaves

Directions:

Place the bitter orange (or its substitute or plain vinegar) in a mixing bowl along with the black pepper, allspice and salt. Mix well. Incorporate the red onions and bay leaves.

Char or broil the banana pepper. Incorporate to the onion mix.

Toss well and let the mix pickle at room temperature anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours, cover and refrigerate. It will keep in the refrigerator in great shape for 2 weeks.

酸辣甜鸡Chicken With Tamarind, Apricots And Chipotle Sauce

这道也是最初从苏姐姐的武功秘籍看来的，原作者就是Pati Jinich。细嫩柔软，而且无敌香－－酥烂的鸡肉酸甜微辣，还有杏子果味，是老公当天的最爱，说这道菜入口就如"party in my mouth"，很有火花很好吃。

http://www.patismexicantable.com/2010/09/chicken_with_tamarind_apricots_and_chipotle_sauce/

ingredients

1 whole chicken cut into pieces, plus two more pieces of your choice, with skin and bones

1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or more to taste

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste

1/2 cup safflower or corn oil

4 cups water

1/2 pound dried apricots, about 3/4 cup, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons apricot preserves

3/4 cup tamarind concentrate, can be store bought or substitute with 3 tablespoons tamarind paste mixed with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup boiling water

1 can chipotles in adobo sauce, or more to taste, add chiles if you please

to prepare

Thoroughly rinse chicken pieces with cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a deep extended skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add chicken pieces in one layer, bring heat to medium-low, and slowly brown the chicken pieces for one hour. Turn them over every once in a while, so they will brown evenly on all sides.

Pour water over the chicken, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring it to a simmer. Incorporate the apricots, apricot preserve, tamarind concentrate, chipotle sauce and salt and stir, and keep it at a medium simmer for 35 to 40 minutes more. You may need to bring down the heat to medium.

The sauce should have thickened considerably as to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Taste for salt and heat and add more salt or chipotle sauce to your liking.

辣巧克力酱燉鸡 Chicken Mole Poblano

http://www.patismexicantable.com/2010/03/mole_poblano_de_los_angeles/

虽然样子其貌不扬，Mole Poblano可是经典墨西哥国菜－－巧克力酱燉鸡。Mole的起源也有一个很可爱的故事。发明这道菜的竟然是Puebla修道院的修女。传说西班牙殖民早期，大主教要到修道院参访，贫穷的修女们没有什么好料，只好祷告，把仅有的一点辣椒，巧克力，坚果，和香料熬制成酱汁，淋在火鸡上，没想到被主教大赞。只是那个酱实在太繁复了，我用的是名厨Rick Bayless的Mole Poblano酱，whole foods有卖。把鸡肉用平底锅煎香，放入酱汁，小火焖个30分钟，最后洒上芝麻就大功告成。虽然偷懒，但这道温润香浓的特色菜是当晚两位客人的首选呢，超爱。

为了配合当天的墨西哥主题，买来的Tres Leches蛋糕，也是whole foods的，很柔润细致，奶香十足。
