I am looking for a recipe that someone has already made to add to our fundraiser cookbook that we are putting together?

All help is appreciated!

Here are a couple receipes I made for my son's birthday last year. They are from the Favorite Receipes from Guatemala cookbook.


Chicken stew from Coban, Alta Verapaz

4 lbs chicken
11 small tomatoes
1 whole garlic bulb
2 onions
6 cups water
1 cup tomatillos
1 tablespoon and 1/4 teaspoon salt
cloves (The receipe doesn't specify how much. I think we used about a 1/4 teaspoon.)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Wash chicken and place in pot with 6 cups water, onion, 5 tomatoes, and garlic bulb and boil for 25 minutes. Cool and reserve the broth and onion. Peel garlic and tomatoes. Bone chicken and chop meat into 1/2 inch pieces.
Toast in skillet 10 minutes 6 tomatoes, tomatillos, and quartered onion. Cool and peel tomatoes.
Place the boiled onion, tomatoes, and garlic with the toasted tomates, tomatillos, and onion in a blender with the salt and blend.
Combine the sauce from the blender, chicken broth, chicken meat, remaining spices and herbs in a large pot and cook for 25 minutes. Accompany with rice.
Makes 8 servings.




Piloyada (Large Red Bean Salad)

2 cups cooked piloy red beans
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 med. chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped cooked chicken, ham, or sausage (we didn't put meat in ours.)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon salt or to tase
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped mint (optional, but good)
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
This salad is often eaten wrapped in a corn tortilla.

look at mayantraditions, they have several cook books.
In addition if you do a search here you will find some recipes from August/July 2005 posted.

I have made the chicken, tres leche cake, radish salad all were wonderful. By the way, all profits from mayantraditions go to support an orphange. The site is managed by a father who adopted two older boys from Guatemala.

Happy Cooking,
Mary
