Capirotada My Moms Version Food

CAPIROTADA

Capirotada image

This bread pudding is a Lenten tradition in my family. If you can't find piloncillo where you live (you can buy it in any grocery store in San Antonio) you can substitute 3 cups of brown sugar for the 6 piloncillos (cones of unrefined sugar). Yes, onions and cheese in bread pudding does sound strange, but you'll be surprised at the overall taste of this dish. This is down-home Tex-Mex comfort food!

Time 1h40m

Yield 2 9X13 Pans

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 small piloncillo cones
12 cups water
8 short cinnamon sticks
2 bunches green onions or 1 large white onion, cut in quarters
3 loaves French bread, sliced thin
2 (16 ounce) containers soft margarine
1 (16 ounce) box raisins
2 cups chopped pecans
4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

Combine water, piloncillos, cinnamon sticks and green onions in large pot or dutch oven.
Bring to a boil and cook until the piloncillos are dissolved and the syrup is dark from the spices.
Taste- you may want to add additional brown sugar or spices depending on your personal tastes.
Remove from heat and take out onions and cinnamon sticks.
Toast the french bread (you can do this ahead of time or while the syrup is cooking).
Spread margarine liberally on both sides of toast.
Layer toast, cheese, raisins, and nuts in 2 9X13 pans (preferably glass), repeating until both pans are full, ending with a layer of cheese, raisins and nuts.
Pour the syrup over the top, dividing evenly between both pans, and making sure that all the bread is moistened.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
Serve hot or cold.
Store in the refrigerator.

Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small pan. Brush the surface of two large baking sheets with some of the melted butter and place the bread slices onto the buttered baking sheets in a single layer. Use the remaining butter to brush on top of the bread slices. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown on the bottom and remove from the oven.
In a medium saucepan, place the piloncillo, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and raisins, cover with the 8 cups of water, and set over medium-high heat. Once it comes to a simmer, stir occasionally, and let simmer for 30 minutes or until reduced by half. Turn off the heat. With a slotted spoon, remove the cinnamon stick, star anise, and, cloves and discard. Set the piloncillo syrup aside.
Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil to a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the plantain slices in a couple batches for about a minute per side, or until golden brown on both sides. Place the browned plantains on a paper towel covered plate and set aside.
