Enjococado - Sour cream-based sauce with roasted guajillo chiles and special herbs. Also which meats you would recommend serving it with. Thanks in advance!!
Answers:
“Enjococado” is often found in conjunction with chicken, or “pollo”.
The word “Enjococado” had me stumped, and I realized it is probably an
evolution/transformation/missp... of “en Jocoque“ or
“enjocoque”.
The actual recipe for the sauce itself is very hard to find! I think you might actually have to experiment using sour cream and whipping cream with garlic and guajillo peppers
Pollo en Jocoque (Chicken in Yogurt)
4 to 6 persons
1 mandarina (a manarina is somewhere between
an orange and tangerine and more sour)
1 orange (large)
3 large garlic cloves
3 green onions
2 -3 red poblano chiles
3 tbl olive oil
1 cup cooking oil
2 cups jocoque (jocoque is a type of yogurt
that is close to "creme fraiche")
2 lb chicken pieces
1 cup sliced almonds (soak in hot water and
remove skins)
Preparation:
1) Wash chicken and dry well
2) Char chiles over open flame or in frying
pan and place in plastic bag for 5 minutes
to sweat.
3) Remove from bag and remove charred skin,
inside veins and seeds.
4) Heat cup of oil until very hot and fry
chicken until done and remove from pan..
5) Remove remaining oil from pan, leaving
chicken residue and add olive oil to same
pan.
6) Chop garlic. onion, almonds and chiles
and sauté in olive oil until done.
7) Add chicken, orange and mandarina juice
and cook for 10 minutes, stirring gently so
as not to break up chicken.
8) Add jocoque and salt to taste (do not
add pepper)
** you can add more juice or jocoque to
taste as you play with the recipe
