Vene-Mexican Dinner

Last Thursday (17/08) we invited 12 people for a little get together in our place in order to finally inaugurate our apartment and showcase a bit of our Mexican and Venezuelan cuisine.
For the night my wife and me cooked:

  • Pollo al Mole: Chicken in a mole sauce. Mole is a typical Mexican sauce which is composed of between 17 to +30 ingredients (depending on the Mexican state or taste of the cook)
  • Pollo desmenusado: Chicken breast boiled, then minced into small pieces and cooked with spices
  • Empanadas de Pollo y Queso: Empanadas are a typical Colombo/Venezuelan dish made of corn flour shaped as a semicircular and filled with Chicken or cheese (those were the 2 fillings we had) and then fried
  • Chicharrones: Normally fried pork skin but in this case they were made out of flour
  • Arepas: Typical Venezuelan dish made of corn flour in a round shape, they are normally eaten instead of bread or filled with anything available.
  • Tacos Dorados: Tortillas filled with potatoes and then fast fried for it to be crusty

Of course that all accompanied by 3 different types of spicy and non spicy sauces, it was definitely a very good dinner.

Next one should be in the end of September or early October as I will be out almost all of September so Maria and Goncalo, please let me know when you guys are available.
