The sweet-and-sour combination of the acidic tomatillos and the piloncillo (light molasses) in the sauce is unusual in Mexican cooking-and delicious.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1 whole
chicken
, cut into serving pieces
1
onion
, sliced
1 1/2 lb
tomatillos
5
jalapeno
chiles
2 1/2 oz piloncillo, shredded, or light
molasses
3
plantains
or
bananas
, sliced and fried, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the chicken until lightly browned. Add the onion and cook until translucent, stirring constantly.
Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a comal or cast-iron griddle, then puree them in a blender with a little water. Add the tomatillo mixture and piloncillo to the pan and simmer until the piloncillo melts. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with the plantains.
