Last week, I had my last of the seven cooking courses. Since I have last written, we have made chilaquiles verdes, tacos dorados, guacamole, sopa poblana y sopa de frijol, esquites, enfrijoladas, arroz rojo, tortillas, and the famous mole poblano. Throughout the course, my favorite dishes were probably chilaquiles verdes and sopa poblana, followed by the churros, as I am sucker for anything with cinnamon and sugar! Chilaquiles verdes are basically nachos, but the green salsa that we made and the chicken, cheese, cream, and union that we added to them, created a scrumptious combination. Sopa poblana (soup originating in Puebla), contains chile, onion, garlic, bacon, mushrooms, pumpkin, corn, pumpkin flower, cheese, cream, and chicken. It has a very distinct flavor, but one that I have grown to love!
Although I don’t think I have mastered Mexican cooking at all, I believe that with the right kitchen utensils and Mexican foods and flavors, I can certainly whip up a few of the above dishes. : )
