The host of a highly popular PBS series, "Pati's Mexican Table,"
and a self-described "overloaded soccer mom with three kids and a
powerful blender," Pati Jinich has a mission. She's out to prove
that Mexican home cooking is quicker and far easier than most
Americans think.
Her dishes are not blanketed with cheese, or heavy and fried, or
based on complex sauces. Nor are they necessarily highly spicy.
Surprising in their simplicity and freshness, they incorporate
produce and grains. Most important, they fit perfectly into an
everyday family cooking schedule and use just a handful of
ingredients, most of which are already in your pantry. Many are
homey specialties that Pati learned from her mother and
grandmother, some are creative spins on classics, while others are
not well known outside of Mexico.
Dishes like Chicken a la Trash (it's delicious ), a one-pot meal
that Pati gleaned from a Mexican restaurant cook; Mexican Meatballs
with Mint and Chipotle; Sweet and Salty Salmon; and Mexican-Style
Pasta can revitalize your daily repertoire. You'll find plenty of
vegetarian fare, from Classic Avocado Soup, to Divorced Eggs (with
red and green salsa), to Oaxaca-Style Mushroom and Cheese
Quesadillas.
Your friends and family will enjoy Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with
Pickled Ancho Chile Vinaigrette; Crab Cakes with Jalapeno Aioli;
and Chicken Tinga -- (you can use rotisserie chicken), which makes
a tasty filling for tortas and tostadas. Pati also shares exciting
dishes for the holidays and other special occasions, including
Mexican Thanksgiving Turkey with Chorizo, Pecan, Apple, and Corn
Bread Stuffing; Spiral-Cut Beef Tenderloin; and Red Pozole ("a
Mexican party in a bowl"), which she served on her wedding
day.Desserts like Triple Orange Mexican Wedding Cookies, Scribble
Cookies
(sandwich cookies filled with chocolate), and little Apricot-Lime
Glazed Mini Pound Cakes are sophisticated yet simple to make.
