CALDO DE CAMARÓN

admin — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 15:25:20 +0000

Ingredients

2tbs avocado oil

4 roma tomatoes

2 chile de árbol

2 guajillo pepper

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 onion

3 cloves of garlic

1/2 cup dry shrimp

1/2 cup fresh whole shrimp with skin on (this gives it more flavor)

2 potatoes

3 carrots

5 cups of water

Directions

I was craving this caldo on a cold rainy day but didn’t have all the ingredients, so I used what I had in my kitchen and it came out better than the original recipe I had! So I’m sharing my new recipe with you. Get ready to have the best caldo ever, I like to make it spicy, so if you don’t like it spicy add less Chile de árbol. Eat the caldo with saltines or tostadas.

STEP 1

Clean and devein the dry peppers.

STEP 2

Warm up a pot with avocado oil, then add the peppers, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions and garlic; sautéed until soft. Add 1 cup of water and let it boil on low heat, and then add salt.

STEP 3

Place in the blender the tomato and pepper mix (I like to use my all time fave: @vitamix) with the heads of dry shrimp.

STEP 4

Return the blended liquid into the pot, add 4 cups of water, potatoes, carrots, dry shrimp and fresh shrimp.

STEP 5

Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 20 min.

And that’s all! Serve warm with some drops of lemon juice and saltines or tostadas on the side.

CALDO DE POLLO

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 20:05:59 +0000

Ingredients

Chicken

1 onion

10 cloves of garlic

Big bunch of cilantro

Big bunch of epazote

Piece of ginger

2 bay leaves

1 clove

A big bunch of peppercorns

Directions

This is the best chicken broth you will ever have, not only do I say so, but also Tümü customers. I use a variety of herbs and spices. The secret is to let it simmer for hours on low and to use a lot of the ingredients . The epazote is a key ingredient also.

STEP 1

Fill a pot with water. Wash and rinse the chicken.

STEP 2

I like to put the spices in a tea bag, so when it’s done I just throw it out and I don’t have to use a colander, also the peppercorns get stuck in the chicken.

STEP 3

Add the bunch of cilantro, epazote and onion.

STEP 4

Let it boil in low for 2 hrs or until your chicken is soft.
