Aunt Marys Pollo en Crema Sorta Salvadorian Chicken Stewed in Cream
Aunt Marys was a popular brunch restaurant here in San Francisco that served a wonderfully homey array of Mexican and Salvadorian dishes. Michele and I used to go every Sunday for a late breakfast (thats what brunch used to be called). She would always get the Huevos Rancheros, and my usual was the Pollo en Crema, which is the subject of todays video recipe.Sometimes its fun to cook a recipe that ignores the standard techniques that usually rule the production of my food. This recipe is a simple boiled chicken - no browning, no deglazing, no reducing, and no layering of flavors. As youll see, you just toss all the ingredients into a pot and simmer it until tender and delicious.
My standard ethic recipe disclaimer applies; Im not, nor have I ever been, Salvadorian. This is what I used to get at a restaurant that claimed to serve Salvadorian food, and they called it Pollo en Crema. Im sure those of you in the know will point out if, and how, this varies from the "real" authentic recipe, but what I can tell everyone is that this simple pot of chicken is great food. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 big chicken
1 onion
2 red bell pepper
2 jalapeno
2 Roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 bay leaf
cayenne
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup sour cream, or Mexican crema
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
fresh chopped cilantro

En Route ReRun Potato and Cauliflower Mash
I will be posting from New York as soon as possible, but in the meantime here is a random video recipe rerun for your viewing pleasure.This is from one year ago, and stars potatoes and cauliflower in a timeless love story. People said they shouldnt be together, that they came from two (too?) different backgrounds and starch contents, but in the end their love overcomes. Who can forget the scene when the cauliflower says to the potato, "I knew wed be great together ever since the first time I looked in your eyes."
This should fit in well with all your various New Years "eat lighter" resolutions. Im not saying you wont stick with it, but you may want to try these soon just in case. Enjoy!
