MMMMM-------------------------CONDIMENTS------------------------------
1 sm Jicama; sticks
2 lg Cucumbers; cut into spears
8 oz Radishes; quartered
1 Orange; sliced
4 tb Plain lowfat yogurt
To roast onion and garlic, peel and trim the onion; slice the head of
garlic to expose the cloves. Seal in an aluminum foil packet. Moisten
with olive oil spay (optional). Roast in a oven 325degF until
aromatic (45 to 60 mins.)
Trim the chicken breast of fat. Slice it along the grain diagonally;
then cut into strips. Season with black pepper and your choice of a
Mexican spice blend (such as Cre-ole Spice Blend, posted previously).
Spray a wok lightly; heat the wok to sear and slightly char the
chicken. When no longer pink add the bell peppers and mushrooms. Make
awell in the wok's center and add the sauce item in the order list.
When the mole paste blends with the sauce liquids, stir to combine
all. Make about 1 to 1-1/4 cups of the sauce: Add water and/or broth
to thin the sauce as it siimmers. Taste and adjust lemon and/or
pepper. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro and spoon stew over the hot
cooked noodles; then sprinkle with Jalapeno Jack cheese. Serve with
zucchini steamed with orange zest and thyme; boiled potato wedges,
well drained; condiments.
Mushroom Tomatillo Sauce with Mole Chile (Variation). Use a variety of
domestic and wild mushrooms. Thin the sauce with strained soaking
liquid and/or vegetable broth.
Pasta: fettucine, spaghetti, short lasagna, or homestyle (thick).
Broth: we used about 1/2 cup 99% fat free, low salt chicken broth,
and then switched to water to thin the sauce as it simmered. Mole
contains ancho peppers, vegetables oil, toasted bread (crumbed),
sugar, chocolate, sesame seed and/or nuts (ground) and salt, pepper,
and dried herbs and spices to taste; such as oregano, cinnamon, etc.
Potato: traditionally white, but gold, sweet (not yam) or blue would
also be welcome. Add more Chipotle with Adobo to please the taste.
The Cre-ole' spice blend is hot, spicy, sweet: Caribbean!
"This version of a Chicken Stew on Noodles recaptures the flavor of
an Aji we had at a Peruvian restaurant. Make your own sauces or buy
convenient jars and cans. The potato on the side is not just
traditional: it finds that spot on the tongue that wanted something.
A lot of food: mc estimates
315 cals; 5 g fat; 13.5% cff."
