1 Whole orange? Isn't that really sweet? Other than that is sounds delicious.

I like doing vegetables with curry sauce over rice for an easy/cheap meal to feed multiple people. Peppers, Onions, Eggplant, Potatoes, whatever else you like.

Nah. Most of the juices get cooked away. Especially when you sear the meat at the end. Plus the heat of the cumin balances it out.

You never want to put any water based liquids into your pan before cooking meat or veg, so long as you have water boiling you will never be cooking above 100°C (212°F) as the water will use up any excess energy so you will never reach browning or caramelization, as well as that odor molecules are not water soluble so you will be letting a lot of flavour escape, that's why most recipes call for aromatic veg (onion, garlic, carrots, celery) and meats to be cooked in a little fat first. You'll never cook away any sweetness either, reductions intensify flavour, not diminish them.

It's certainly an interesting dish though and I've only just purchased a slow cooker so I'll be looking for things to try. A good cheap eye of round is somewhere on top of that list.

When the meat first hits the fry pan after being shredded and combined with the juices, it's really wet and sweet in a sugary way. By the time the juices have burned off the flavor is much less sugary and much more on the slightly burned caramel side - less sweet.

- create a slurry with the oil and spices and then rub all over the chicken
- lay the chicken on top of the onions in the pot
- cut the orange into four wedges then squeeze the juice over top of the chicken
- lay the 4 wedges rind side down on top of the chicken
- add the rest of the onion
- cover and cook on low for about 6-7 hours
- remove the meat and shred it into a bowl
- strain the juices from the crock pot and mix them up with the meat
- add a couple of turns of oil to a large frying pan and heat it up nice and hot
- add the meat and cook on high until you develop a nice crust

Warm up some tortillas and serve with your topping of choice. We used cabbage, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.

That looks quality. I am 100% doing this next week. How many do you think that would serve?

Four easily as long as you have sides.

That's some hard core stuff!

Nice one cheers mate, I will likely be cooking this for myself so will just halve those measurements.

First time I did something similar to this I ended up with far too much to eat in one go.

CHICKEN POSOLI SOUP

3 – boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 – 32oz box of chicken stock
1 – 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
1 – 16oz can golden hominy drained
1 – large yellow onion diced
1 – green pepper diced
1 – red pepper diced
3 – lg. cloves garlic finely chopped
6 – flour tortillas
1 – bunch cilantro
1 – bag Mexican cheese blend
3 – limes sliced into wedges

1. In a large skillet heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil until it just starts to smoke. You want the pan HOT. Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides liberally with sea salt, fresh crushed black pepper, and paprika. Sear the breasts about 5 minutes per side. Transfer them to a baking sheet and put them in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Then put them in the fridge to cool.

2. In the same skillet, add another couple of tablespoons of oil and then sweat the onion, peppers, and garlic until the onion gets translucent.

3. Add the chicken stock to a large stock pan and then add the veggies including the drained hominy. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes.

4. Shred the cooled chicken. Season the chicken again with sea salt, ground pepper, and paprika, and then mix well. Add the chicken and the diced tomatoes to the stock pan and mix everything well. Simmer another 5 minutes to re-heat the chicken through.

5. Stack the flour tortillas and then slice them up into matchsticks. Serve the soup in large bowls and garnish with the tortilla strips, the Mexican cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.

Made some good fried chicken the other day. I just wung it and it came out really good imo.

Desired amount of chicken breast tenders
flour
panko bread crumbs
1 egg
canola oil

Pour canola oil into a pan, around a half inch to an inch. Put heat at medium high. While the oil is heating up, beat an egg. Then you take your chicken and coat it in flour. After coating it in flour, coat the chicken in its unborn children because you're that ****ing brutal. Then once the chicken is covered in eggs and humiliated, coat the chicken in bread crumbs. After that put the chicken in the oil and cook each side to a nice golden brown, should take 3 to four minutes for the first side and two to 3 minutes on the other. Once you take them out, salt them to taste.

I'm open to any recs on how to make my recipe better.

Soak the chicken in buttermilk for an hour then drain.

Put the chicken in a bowl & season with Lawrys seasoned salt, throw the pieces into regular flour that is mixed with black pepper and some garlic granules. Once the chicken is covered nicely leave to rest for a bit so that the flour soaks onto the chicken and turns into almost a paste/batter.

I've got another one which is garlic granules/onion granules/black pepper/salt/oregano, mix into the flour.
