Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 20 chile de arbol
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted
- 5 whole allspice
- 5 whole cloves
- 5 large cloves garlic, peeled and charred
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
- One 6 1/2-pound/3 kg turkey
Instructions
- Cook's Notes: Epazote resembles mint and tarragon. You can substitute tarragon.
- You can also do this recipe with a whole chicken instead of the turkey and reduce the cooking time.
- For the recado negro paste: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- In a skillet over high heat, char the arbol chiles until black on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute the garlic and onions until translucent. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a blender, blend the charred chiles with the coarse salt, cumin, allspice, cloves, garlic and oregano. Add a little water and blend until a paste forms. Remove from the blender and pour into the pot of boiling water. Add the tomato mixture and the turkey. Let simmer until the turkey is fall-off-the-bone tender, about 2 hours.
- For the "boot": Mix the meat with the garlic, onions and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the cooked egg whites, raw egg and epazote. Form a large meatball with the cooked egg yolks in the middle. Wrap and bind in cheesecloth. Add to the broth during the last hour of cooking the turkey.
- Remove the "boot" and unwrap the cheesecloth. Cut into slices. Remove the turkey, and carve. Serve one slice of the "boot" with a few pieces of turkey and spoon over some of the recado negro paste. Eat with tortillas.
