As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Cañon de Sol, we send thanks to all of our friends and family for your continued support and loyalty. Our success is a gift from all of you.  Mucho gracias!

 

In light of celebration, we give you this recipe filled with gratitude:

 

Molcajete Stew  Named for the mortar and pestle used for crushing the many spices or for creating salsa or guacamole that accompany this dish, our stew is choc full of wonderful flavor.  It pairs well with a chilled Cañon de Sol Viognier!

  1. Fry 1 slice of thick cut bacon in a large skillet till crisp.  Remove from pan, cut into small pieces and set aside.

  2. Cut four boneless chicken breasts into thin, bite-size strips

  3. Add 1½ Tablespoons vegetable oil to the bacon drippings; sauté chicken strips over medium heat until browned (stir occasionally).

  4. In a separate saucepan over medium heat, stir together 3 cups boiling water and 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules until dissolved.

  5. Add bacon bits, 15 ounces tomato sauce, 16 ounces small mushroom halves, ½ cup chopped sweet onion, ½ cup shredded carrot, ½ cup diced celery, ¼  cup chopped cilantro, 1 diced red pepper, 1 diced green pepper, 1 diced yellow pepper, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 tablespoon dried ancho chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon dry sherry, ½ teaspoon butter, ½ teaspoon hot sauce, salt & pepper to taste.

  6. Fold in the chicken and simmer for 15 minutes or till serving.

  7. Ladle into soup bowls ~ or more authentically, in a molcajete style bowl.  Garnish with grated monterey jack cheese, chopped scallions, sliced jalapenos, and avocado pieces. 

  8. Serve with fresh tomato salsa and corn chips on the side. 

And pair with chilled Viognier!  This recipe serves four ...

ENJOY!  Victor & Kim Cruz
