Blog - Roman Daniel Baranek (blog.sme.sk) Receptov, ktoré by boli inšpirované mexickou kuchyňou u nás na blogu veľa nemáme. Občas niečo s fazuľou a paradajkami, ale fakt je toho málo.

Toto mexické kura nás oslovilo pri prezeraní webu. Najviac sa nám páčilo použitie dvoch pre mexickú kuchyňu veľmi typických ingrediencií, a to horkej čokolády a chilli. A spojenie to je naozaj veľmi vydarené. Okrem jedného kuraťa budeme potrebovať aj dve väčšie cibule, dve farebné papriky, päť strúčikov cesnaku, jednu paradajkovú konzervu, pasírované paradajkové pyré, päťdesiat gramov horkej čokolády, jedno malé maslo, olej a chilli podľa chuti, či už vo forme papričky, alebo hotovej omáčky. Jedlo okoreníme lyžičkou kurkumy pre ešte krajšiu farbu, lyžičkou červenej papriky, rímskym kmínom, čerstvo mletým čiernym a bielym korením a soľou. Kura naporciujeme (...ak chcete vidieť ako, pozrite si tu.) cesnak, cibuľu a papriku nasekáme. Naporciované kura osolíme a okoreníme čerstvo mletým korením.

Privedieme k varu. Do omáčky vrátime kúsky kuraťa. Salsa chicken casserole. I’m still all about these easy, one dish dinners.
