Pollo Al Chipotle – Central Highlands Pollo al Chipotle – Central Highlands (Chicken with Chipotle Chiles) This recipe is a great example of a different style of using the ever present tortilla is Mexican cuisine. This recipe is essentially a soup, but it would typically be eaten by taking some of the components in the soup (in this case chicken and potatoes as the main components) and placing them into a soft fresh tortilla and then dipping them into the broth to add flavor and moisture. This is a family style meal that may not necessarily be suited well to a dining situation as it is served traditionally, but certainly could be adapted to make it more appropriate for the customer. Yield – 16 portions at Approximately 12 ounces (with Broth)/Portion Ingredients: For Poaching Chicken 1 gallon Chicken Stock 2 quarts Water 8 ea Whole Chickens Legs, divided into legs and thighs 2 lbs Red Bliss Potatoes, quartered 1.25 lbs Yellow Onions, sliced thin 1 oz Garlic cloves, sliced thin 6 ea Dried Chipotle Peppers 2 ea Dried Ancho Chilies 4 ea Tomatoes, peeled and seeded 2 ea Key Limes, whole limes and juice added 1.5 Tbsp Salt (taste poaching liquid to determine if more is needed, once simmering for a few minutes) To Taste Salt and Tabasco or other chile sauce as desired For Service 32 ea 6 inch Corn Tortillas (see chapter for recipe to make fresh) Procedure: For Poaching the Chicken 1. Combine all of the ingredients together (except tortillas) in an appropriate sized pot and place over a medium high flame to heat until mixture reaches poaching temperature (160 -180 degrees F) 2. Once the mixture reaches poaching temperature range adjust and monitor the temperature by adjusting the flame to maintain the gently poaching temperature, also taste the poaching liquid and add salt if needed to achieve lightly seasoned poaching broth. 3. Poach the mixture until the chicken legs are very tender and falling off of the bones (should take about 1.5 -2 hours depending on chicken leg size – your not looking to just cook the chicken but really to breakdown the connective tissue in the legs) 4. Once the chicken has cooked enough to become very tender remove the pot from the heat and again taste the poaching broth to check for seasoning, adjust seasoning with salt if needed and if spice level is not as desired then Tabasco or other chile sauce could be added to adjust. For Service 1. Traditionally this would be a family meal which would be served with freshly cooked tortillas on the side of bowls of this soup/stew. When served in this manner serve each guest two tortillas, 1 piece of chicken, 8-10 ounces of the broth along with vegetables, along with napkins and perhaps an additional bowl for them to place the bones as they eat. The guest will need to pull meat off of the bones from the legs and place the chicken meat and vegetables into the tortillas to be dipped in the broth. The meal is finished by drinking/sipping the remaining broth. 2. This could be served alternatively by removing the meat from the bones before serving and then returning the bones to the broth and serving the resulting stew, along with 2 tortillas/person, making for an easier assembly for a dining environment. .

  • A Baseline Analysis of Poaching in Chiquibul National Park
    A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Fisheries and Wildlife ABSTRACT A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF Illegal hunting of wildlife, also known as poaching, in Chiquibul National Park (CNP) may be contributing to decreasing wildlife populations. Management strategies are limited due to a lack of information on the extent of poaching and motivations of poachers. The objectives of this research are to assess the extent of poaching, to address Guatemalan border community residents’ understanding of wildlife in CNP and what animal species are targeted by hunters, and to investigate factors affecting poaching in CNP and Guatemalan border residents’ perceptions about poaching in CNP. These objectives were addressed by (1) synthesizing information found in CNP Ranger field notebooks and reports, (2) interviewing Guatemalan border community residents, and (3) interviewing authorities in Guatemala and Belize. Guatemalan border community residents perceived a lower level of poaching in the CNP than CNP rangers, but both thought that poaching has decreased over the years. CNP rangers considered poaching to be a danger to wildlife in the area, and they thought that wildlife numbers have suffered due to poaching. This research demonstrated little support for the hypothesis that legal regulations and the enforcement of regulations are factors that contribute to whether respondents view other community members as contributing to poaching. However, the subsistence needs of hunters and their families is an important factor affecting residents’ decision to poach.

  • Kōji-Poached Chicken
    麹漬け鶏肉の酒蒸し Kōji-zuké Toriniku no Saka Mushi KŌJI-POACHED CHICKEN The Japanese cooking technique known as SAKA MUSHI literally “saké steamed” is the equivalent of poaching. The technique is most often used to cook fish, shellfish or chicken; it keeps the food moist as it gently cooks in a limited amount of saké and broth. Here chicken breasts, or thighs, are briefly, lightly massaged in komé kōji (malted rice) first; this softens otherwise tough muscle tissue and sinews. And, it makes the chicken less “gamey” tasting, too. Making this dsh can be worked into even the busiest of schedules. Massage and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator in the morning and finish by poaching in a shallow pan in the evening. Once the chicken has been prepared and cooked it will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. The poached meat can be sliced and served with various sauces or condiments. Or shred and add to salads, or use to top noodles. It makes great sandwich meat, too. I urge you to leave the skin on while marinating and poaching the chicken to keep the meat moist and flavorful. You can remove it later if you prefer not to eat it. Boneless breast meat with skin (upper right) Boneless thigh meat skin side down (bottom right) © Copyright 2021 All rights reserved by Elizabeth Andoh 1 Makes enough chicken to top 4 noodle dishes or salads. 1 large boneless breast OR thigh with skin attached (about 12 oz/340 grams) 1 teaspoon komé kōji (malted rice) 1 strip kombu (kelp) soaked in 1 and 1/2 cups water for 20 minutes or longer 2 tablespoons saké With the tines of a fork, poke through the skin of the chicken breast – this will permit the flavor-enhancing and tenderizing properties of the kōji to work more efficiently.

  • CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (From Either the French Chair Cuite = Cooked Meat, Or the French Cuiseur De
    CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (from either the French chair cuite = cooked meat, or the French cuiseur de chair = cook of meat) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as sausage primarily from pork. The practice goes back to ancient times and can involve the chemical preservation of meats; it is also a means of using up various meat scraps. Hams, for instance, whether smoked, air-cured, salted, or treated by chemical means, are examples of charcuterie. The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier , and that is generally translated into English as "pork butcher." This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The word refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, roulades, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." SAUSAGE A simple definition of sausage would be ‘the coarse or finely comminuted (Comminuted means diced, ground, chopped, emulsified or otherwise reduced to minute particles by mechanical means) meat product prepared from one or more kind of meat or meat by-products, containing various amounts of water, usually seasoned and frequently cured .’ A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat , often pork , beef or veal , along with salt, spices and other flavouring and preserving agents filed into a casing traditionally made from intestine , but sometimes synthetic. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing , drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking or freezing.

  • International Illegal Trade in Wildlife: Threats and U.S
    International Illegal Trade in Wildlife: Threats and U.S. Policy Liana Sun Wyler Analyst in International Crime and Narcotics Pervaze A. Sheikh Specialist in Natural Resources Policy July 23, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34395 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress International Illegal Trade in Wildlife: Threats and U.S. Policy Summary Global trade in illegal wildlife is a potentially vast illicit economy, estimated to be worth billions of dollars each year. Some of the most lucrative illicit wildlife commodities include elephant ivory, rhino horn, sturgeon caviar, and so-called “bushmeat.” Wildlife smuggling may pose a transnational security threat as well as an environmental one. Numerous sources indicate that some organized criminal syndicates, insurgent groups, and foreign military units may be involved in various aspects of international wildlife trafficking. Limited anecdotal evidence also indicates that some terrorist groups may be engaged in wildlife crimes, particularly poaching, for monetary gain. Some observers claim that the participation of such actors in wildlife trafficking can therefore threaten the stability of countries, foster corruption, and encourage violence to protect the trade. Reports of escalating exploitation of protected wildlife, coupled with the emerging prominence of highly organized and well-equipped illicit actors in wildlife trafficking, suggests that policy challenges persist. Commonly cited challenges include legal loopholes that allow poachers and traffickers to operate with impunity, gaps in foreign government capabilities to address smuggling problems, and persistent structural drivers such as lack of alternative livelihoods in source countries and consumer demand. To address the illicit trade in endangered wildlife, the international community has established, through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a global policy framework to regulate and sometimes ban exports of selected species.

  • Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
    TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.
