Cilaquiles Verde
From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
Whilst we sell a ready-made version of this particular recipe (La Sierra Chilaquiles Verde), here at Mexgrocer we know you can't beat homemade:Ingredients:
- ¼ onion, chopped
- 1½ green serrano or jalapeno chillies, stems removed, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 125ml chicken stock
- 380g tin tomatillos
- 2 tbsp corn oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 300ml vegetable oil, for frying
- Mi Adelita Stone Ground Tortilla Chips 150g
- 4 eggs
- 75g Lancashire or feta cheese crumbled
- 1 shallot, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp coriander, roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp sour cream
Recipe:
- Put the onion, chillies, garlic, stock, and tomatillos in a blender and blitz to make a sauce.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons of corn oil in a saucepan, add the sauce, then season to taste with salt and simmer for 5 minutes. Cook the sauce for longer if it’s too watery to reduce it a little, or add more stock if it’s too thick.
- Heat the 300ml of oil to 190°C in a separate large pan. Fry the tortilla triangles until barely golden and crisp, then drain them on kitchen paper.
- When the sauce is ready, fry the eggs.
- Stir the fried tortillas into the sauce, folding lightly to coat them but taking care not to break them up.
- Divide the sauce and tortillas between 4 warm plates and top each one with a fried egg.
- Add crumbled cheese, sliced shallot, a sprinkle of coriander, and some sour cream. Serve immediately.
