SALBUTES - in Belize

6/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Tortillas
2 c. masa harina
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. achiote paste or recado rojo (dissolved in 2 Tbsp. water)
3/4 c. water
1 litre cooking oil for frying

To Make Your Tortillas - Place the masa harina and salt into a mixing bowl. Using your hands, rub the achiote water through the masa until it's no longer lumpy. Gradually add the water, mixing with your hand until a dough forms.  Divide the dough into either 12 or 24 pieces, then roll these into perfect balls. I've used the smaller size, as pictured. Flatten each ball between two pieces of plastic, using a tortilla press. I don't have a press so I used two plastic bags and a flat-bottomed saucepan, pressing down evenly to form 10 cm disc with a 3 mm thickness.  Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium flame. When hot enough, drop 2 to 3 pastry discs into the oil and let it cook for about 2 minutes before flipping over. Drain well on kitchen towels as you cook the rest.

Topping
Stew Chicken, shredded (recipe below) 

Picado
Red or green cabbage, finely shredded
Red onion, very finely chopped
Tomato, finely chopped
Cilantro leaves, chopped
Fresh lime juice
Salt to taste
Red chili & jalapeno, to taste


To Make Your Picado - Measurements aren't all that necessary with the picado, as you can regulate the ratios as you please; depending on your tastes. Simply toss all the pieced ingredients together and make sure the lime and salt flavour is well balanced.

How To Assemble - Simply lay the fried tortillas on a plate or board, top with some of the shredded chicken, and make sure it's moistened well with the gravy. Top this with with the picado, then eat!
STEWED CHICKEN
Picture
1 whole chicken
1/4 c. lime juice
2 Tbsp. achiote paste
1/4 c. water
4 cloves garlic, finely sliced
¼ tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 small green capsicum, chopped
4 coriander roots, finely chopped
1 tsp. cumin
1 bay leaf

3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 c. water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon

Stew chicken - Place the chicken pieces into a bowl and pour over the lime juice. Dissolve the achiote in the water, pour over the chicken, add the garlic, salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The following day, take the chicken out of the fridge and dust each piece with the flour, reserving the marinade.  Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and pour in the oil. Brown the chicken on both sides in the oil, a few pieces at a time, then set the chicken aside. It the pan you've just used, toss in the chopped onion, capsicum and chopped coriander roots. Stir it around frequently for 5 minutes, scraping off any browned bits on the bottom of the pan from the chicken.

Stir through the cumin and bay leaf. Return the browned chicken to the saucepan, add the salsa, water and chicken bouillons.  Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, covering the pot almost completely with a lid. Cook for 45 minutes, check for seasoning, then turn off and set aside.  Allow it to cool, and then shred your meat.
BEANS & RICE
Picture
1 c. dried black beans (or kidney)
1/2 c. pancetta, cut into thick slices
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 green sweet pepper, chopped
4 c. water
2/3 c. coconut milk
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. thyme
2 c. long grain rice

Rice and beans - Soak the beans in water overnight.  Drain the beans and put them into a large saucepan with the pancetta, garlic, onion and water. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 18-20 minutes until tender.  Add the coconut milk, sweet pepper, pepper, salt and thyme and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add the rice, stir well, cover and simmer very gently on low heat until the water is absorbed (about 25 minutes). Give the rice a stir from time to time to stop it sticking to the bottom. Add a little water, if needed.

Mayan Brownies - in Belize

2/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Mayan Brownie Recipe - These brownies combine the taste of chocolate and cinnamon together. 
Picture
Mayan Brownies
1/2 c. 1 stick unsalted butter
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa (Hershey's)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 c. all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. espresso powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. mini chocolate chips

Ganache
2" stick of cinnamon (broken into pieces)
3 oz. heavy cream
1-1/2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla
6 oz. chopped good quality, dark chocolate

For the Brownies - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or spray a 9" square baking pan. (I like to line mine with foil and then spray for easy removal and cutting.)

In a medium bowl melt butter in microwave. Don't boil it, just heat it until it's melted. Set aside to cool for a minute. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, salt, espresso powder, cinnamon and cayenne together until thoroughly combined. Stir in chocolate and cinnamon chips to coat them in the mixture. Set aside.

Whisk sugar into melted butter then add cocoa and whisk to combine. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to whisk until thoroughly combined.  Add flour/chip mixture to butter mixture and stir until combined.  Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs attached.  Allow brownies to cool completely.

For the Ganache - Place cinnamon stick and cream into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover and allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain the cream to remove cinnamon pieces and pour back into sauce pan. Add corn syrup, stir then return to heat until the cream is just starting to simmer. Stir in vanilla and chopped chocolate and remove from heat, continuing to stir until all chocolate pieces are melted.  Spread evenly over brownies and allow to cool. Cut into squares. Because of the ganache, I like to store these brownies in the refrigerator.  Makes 16 brownies.

Dorado is a Game Fish Found in the Waters of Belize
Picture
1. Grilled Dorado (aka Mahi Mahi)
This is one of the most popular ways to cook Dorado, and people will be calling you the next "Top Chef” after they taste this outstanding Dorado recipe. 

MARINADE
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root

DORADO FISH

  • Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately.

Picture

This is a great grilled fish recipe, with an added kick of flavor.  Spice up your dorado, with spicy chili mango sauce.

Picture
3. Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) Fish Tacos
Who doesn't like fish tacos?  Our family is a big fan of these, and if you get the fresh made corn tortillas (made on island), they simply are the best. 
 
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 (3 oz.) fillets Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) fillets
  • 6 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
  • To assemble, place a cooked Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) fillets into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.

Picture
4. Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) Ceviche
This Dorado is one of the best seafood appetizers you can make to impress guests.  The only bad news is that it takes upwards of 1 hour and 30 minutes to have fully ready to serve, but trust me, the wait is well worth it.

  • 3/4 lb. Dorado (Mah-Mahi) fillets, diced or more to taste
  • 1/3 c. lime juice
  • 1/3 c. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. minced jalapeno pepper

  • 1/2 c. fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. radishes, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and press plastic wrap down so that it is touching the fish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours.
  • Stir avocado, cucumber, orange, chives, radish, cilantro, and olive oil into mahi mahi mixture until completely coated. Season with salt.

Picture
5. Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) Rockefeller
Although it might be one of the heavier Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) recipes in terms of calories, you can’t go wrong with this combo of oysters, bacon, butter, and cheese.

DORADO FISH
  • 1 lb. bacon, diced (set aside)
  • 4 (6 oz.) Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) fillets
  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic & onion powder
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
CREAM SPINACH SAUCE
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1/4 c. evaporated milk, plus more as needed
  • 2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop. Set aside. Season Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) with garlic salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook mahi mahi until it flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from skillet and place each filet on a baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • While the fish is cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet. Stir in the green onions, garlic, and spinach. Cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chopped bacon, hot pepper sauce, and evaporated milk. Bring to a low simmer, then add the Monterey Jack cheese a little at a time until fully melted. Stir in more evaporated milk, if needed, to create a sauce. Divide the spinach mixture evenly over each Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) fillets. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.

6. Sesame Crusted Dorado w/ Soy Shiso Ginger Sauce
Pan seared and nothing but delicious!  This is what happens when Dorado fuses with Japanese cooking!  I use to work in the chicken of a Japanese restaurant.  This was one of my favorites.

SOY SHISO GINGER SAUCE
  • 3 shallots, minced
  • 2 tsp. fresh ginger root, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 c. dry white wine
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 4 shiso leaves
  • coarse kosher salt
  • ground white pepper
FIX & SESAME COATING
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 6 (6 ounce) Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) fillets
  • 4 Tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 4 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
  • In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine shallots, ginger, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook until liquid is reduced to approximately 2 tablespoons. Stir in heavy cream, and bring to light boil. Reduce cream by half; do not burn. Stir in soy sauce, then transfer to blender. Blend on low while slowly adding butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter is emulsified. Roughly chop or tear shiso, add to sauce, and blend for about 10 more seconds. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season both sides of the fillets with kosher salt and white pepper. Mix together white and black sesame seeds, and place in a plate or flat dish. Press the TOP side only of each fillet into the mixture, and press seeds into fish so it sticks. Make sure that the crusted sides are evenly crusted with the seeds. When oil is smoking, add fish, sesame seed side down to pan, and be careful of oil splatters. Pan sear fish for about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Place pan into oven, or transfer fish to baking sheet, and cook in oven for about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve sesame crust side up with ginger butter sauce.

Picture
7. Pecan Nut Crusted Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
I am a huge fan of anything with pecan nuts.  We really enjoyed this recipe.

NUT MIXTURE
  • 2 ounces pecan nuts
  • 4 ounces plain bread crumbs
CARIBBEAN SAUCE
  • 2 ounces shallots, diced

  • Add shallots to skillet, and cook until translucent. Stir in chicken stock. Mix in pineapple, papaya, mango, coconut, and habanero peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Simmer until sauce is thick, about 30 minutes. Strain to remove peppers, fruit, and shallots. Reserve sauce in a pan over low heat.
