Subject: Proscuitto traditionally cured
Hi
i would like the instructions / recipe to traditionally cure a cut of pork into proscuitto
this seems to be a process which you get half the answers not the whole process
i would like the curing spices etc
also could i have the recipe for "sugna" which is used in the second process of the curing
of pork to proscuitto
also the last step involves using ash (wood fire) to store in for an extended period of time
much appreciated
vince
Hello Vince,
I had no success looking for a step-by-step recipe for making prosciutto the traditional way.
There are recipes on these sites, but I cannot guarantee that they are traditional:
E-How
America's Test Kitchen
Italian Food at About.Com

Subject: chicken marinade
Hello,
Can you help find the original marinade recipe for the chicken that is made
at El Pollo Rico in Arlington, VA?
Thanks, Jay
Hello Jay,
Not the "original" recipe - it's secret. Victor Solano does not give it out.
However, there is a copycat recipe below.
Phaed
Todd Kliman's "EPR homage" pollo a la brasa
What you'll need:
1 whole chicken, cut into parts
2 Tbsp huacatay (a Peruvian black-mint paste)*
1 tsp aji (a Peruvian yellow-pepper paste)
3 limes, juiced
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground annatto
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
How to make it:
1. Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a bowl.
2. Rub the chicken with marinade and let it sit, covered, in the fridge for 24 hours.
3. Grill white meat pieces over very low heat for 45 minutes, and dark meat for an hour.
EPR-style dipping sauces:
1. Spicy mayo-mustard Mix a cup of good mayo with a half cup of French's mustard.
Mix in a tablespoon of aji, a good squeeze of lime juice, a teaspoon of ground annatto,
and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Fiery green pepper sauce In a food processor, pulse six jalapeno peppers (to ease the
heat, cut out the white interior "ribs") and the juice of one lime. Add salt and pepper to taste.
* Pick up this and other ingredients for the recipe at latinmerchant.com.

Subject: chi chi's chicken cheese nachos
Hi,
The chicken cheese nachos that were served at Chi Chi's Restaurant in York, PA
(I realize that they are no longer in business, anywhere) were the best I have
ever eaten. Served with the right amount of chicken, which was seasoned so
wonderfully and the slice of jalapeño pepper on each nacho was fantastic.
Whenever we eat at a Mexican restaurant we have tried them and none can compare
to Chi Chi's. They are either much too gooey and no flavor, not enough chicken, etc.
I have experimented at home and can not quite get that special taste. Your help is
most appreciative.
Thank you,
Pat
Hello Pat,
Below is what I found.

Chicken Nachos Grande Just Like Chi Chi's
Ingredients:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup water
2-3 tablespoons lime juice, your preference
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional, but recommended)
Pressed garlic clove (Can just finely mince the garlic if you don't own a garlic press)
optional salt and pepper, to taste
8-10 corn tortilla chips
1 cup (Chi Chi's brand ) salsa
2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onion (or yellow onion, if you prefer)
1 or 2 red or green jalapeno peppers, your preference, seeded and sliced into 8-10 pieces
Optional:
Any or all of the following for toppings- extra salsa, cheese, diced jalapenos, onions,
sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce
Mix the water, lime juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional liquid smoke.
Pour into a resealable plastic bag or a glass bowl.
Add the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
After marinating, grill the chicken on either an outdoor or indoor grill. If using a
charcoal grill, there is no need for the liquid smoke.
Cook for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink. Cut up the chicken into
bite sized pieces, or shred.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread about 1 or 2 tablespoons of salsa on
each tortilla chip.
Top each tortilla chip with the shredded chicken, then cheese, onions, and a slice of jalapeno.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Top with optional sour cream, salsa,
shredded lettuce, and/or guacamole.

Subject: beef tips
Phaedrus,
I would love to have the recipe for Morrisons Cafeteria Braised Beef Tips. I ate these
at a Morrisons in Ocala Florida as a child and for a picky eater this was one dish
I liked. They did not have it all the time and it seems I remember it having some
tomato in it and no mushrooms.They served it over buttered noodles. I hope you
will be able to find this.I would like to make it for my kids now.
Thank You
Terri
Hello Terri,
There is no recipe called "Braised Beef Tips" in the Morrison's Recipe Book that I have.
The closest thing in the book to what you describe is "Lyonnaise of beef". This is leftover
roast beef that is cut into strips, simmered with onions and tomatoes and brown gravy,
then served over buttered noodles. Some stores may have called this beef tips & noodles.
See below for recipe. Remember, this is a cafeteria recipe and makes 40 servings.
You'll have to figure out how to cut it down.
