ingredients:
1 big chicken
1 big onion
2 red bell peppers
2 jalapenos
2 roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
2 bay leafs
cayenne
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup sour cream, or mexican crema (cacique)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
fresh chopped cilantro
basically you throw the whole chicken in a pot.. add the water, chicken broth, and cream.
then add all other ingredients.. the tomatoes, onions, peppers, jalapenos, and garlic can all be roughly chopped..
anyway.. add everything but the cilantro..
cover and simmer for an hour and then flip the chicken over to simmer for another half hour of however long it takes to fully stew.. then remove the chicken and break it down..
carve out the breasts and legs.. wings.. also.. pick out whatever meat there is and add it all back to the pot.. discard the bones and fat or skin and turn up the heat to bring the pot to a high boil.. then add the chopped cilantro..
give it a minute and serve.. it'll be steaming on the plate.. but it's worth blowing on.
have fun. (as is said by our good friend)
my all time favourite spice..
braised short ribs, glazed root vegetables and potatoes fondant
Loved braised short ribs excellent.
those potatoes are beautiful.. are they yukons?
I agree with Otto regarding a "dinner thread." The wife and I just finished an amazing dinner off the grill...a couple of beautiful filet mignons, bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a couple of sides, paired with a 2006 cabernet sauvignon.
Nothing special really, just fresh steamed green beans with butter and sea salt and garlic mashed potatoes.
