What’s on the stove today? Chicken stock. One the great foods in this part of the country is roasted chicken. It’s great and you can find it everywhere! During last Sunday’s walk-about, I found 4 places that sold roasted chickens with prices ranging from 60-120 pesos for the chicken, including salsa, chilies, papas, y tortillas. ($4.50-$9.00) A nice reasonable priced meal for 3 personas. (see photo)
But what do you do with the bits and pieces that are remaining? Answer: chicken stock. Sure it’s cheap to simply buy chicken bouillon, but with a simple recipe, you can fill your kitchen with the wonderful smells of stock simmering on the stove. And if this blog could impart those odoriferous scents wafting from the kitchen, that is exactly what you would be enjoying.
So what’s it going to be used for? The goal is to make my Rustic Chicken & Corn Chowder, Mexican style. It calls for: chicken stock. Chicken (pollo), potatoes (papas), peppers, onions (cebolla), garlic (ayo), peppers (pimientas rojas, verdes, y amarillas), and roasted corn (maiz tostado) are easily found in Bucerias.
Back to the stove y kitchen.
Bon Appetite
