YUCATáN FISH
Yucatecan fare differs from other Mexican food. It is a cuisine rooted in the cooking of the native Maya people, crossed with that of the many conquerors who passed through. The ingredients there are rather particular; among them is achiote, also called annatto, a hard seed that imparts a delicious musky flavor and bright color to many marinades. Achiote is at its best in the company of garlic and hot chiles, along with an assortment of pungent spices, ground to a paste. The thick red sauce is diluted with the juice of sour oranges and tiny limes. The Yucatecan custom is to coat fish, tikin xic, with the spice mixture and wrap it in banana leaves with pickled onions before cooking. Fish prepared this way is always wonderfully moist, and the banana leaves, aside from making the ideal parcel for grilling or pit roasting, add a subtle aroma and taste.

Steps:
- Make the pickled onions: Put onion in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add serrano, 3 tablespoons orange juice and 2 tablespoons lime juice, then mix well. Set aside for at least 15 minutes. Combine and reserve remaining citrus juice for marinade.
- Make the marinade: Put achiote, cinnamon, oregano and chipotle in a small stainless steel or glass bowl. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast cumin, cloves and allspice until fragrant, 1 minute or less. Grind toasted spices to a powder in a spice mill or mortar, then add to other spices. Add garlic, 1 large pinch salt and remaining citrus juice and stir to make a paste. If very thick, add more lime juice. (Note: achiote may stain surfaces or clothing.)
- Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Using a sharp knife, score skin at thickest parts, if desired. Paint fish on both sides with marinade. Squeeze a little lime juice over fish. Chill for 45 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Bring fish to room temperature and heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut banana leaves crosswise into footlong lengths and soften by passing them briefly over a stovetop burner. Rinse leaves and pat dry. Lay a double thickness of leaves on a baking sheet and lay fish on it, skin-side down. Top fish with a large handful of pickled onions. Arrange tomato wedges over onions. Sprinkle with salt and a little more lime juice. Lay more leaves on top, then wrap like a package, tying with string or strips of leaf. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove and let package rest, unopened, for 15 minutes. Serve with remaining pickled onions.
PERUVIAN STEWED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Place tomatoes in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until liquefied. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan or stockpot over moderate heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Add cumin, oregano and bay leaf and stir to combine. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to pan. Brown the chicken lightly. Add the tomatoes and enough water to cover 3/4 of chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken is cooked through. About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, add the green pepper and peas. Serve warm.

This delicious dish can also be served over rice, as a filling for enchiladas or for making a big pile of the best nachos on earth. Just cover with cheese and bake for a few minutes, then top with your favorite goodies.

- In a very large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Season the pork with salt and black pepper and add half of it to the casserole. Cook over moderate heat, turning, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate. Brown the remaining pork.
- Return all of the pork to the casserole along with any accumulated juices. Stir in the onions, garlic, carrots, chiles, bay leaves, cloves, lime juice and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes, nestling them into the liquid. Cover and cook over low heat until the pork is very tender and the carrots are cooked through, about 3 hours. Discard the bay leaves and stir in the cilantro. Serve with rice and sliced jalapeños.
33 BEST YUCATAN FOODS & MAYAN DISHES IN MEXICO [2022]
From traveltomerida.com
- Cochinita Pibil | Most Popular Yucatan Food. The king of Yucatan foods, cochinita pibil is essentially Mayan BBQ! This beloved dish is made with marinated cochinita (suckling pig), that’s wrapped in banana leaves and slow-roasted underground in an oven called a pib — hence the “pibil” in cochinita pibil.
- Papadzules | Traditional Mayan Food. You may be wondering if there are any Yucatan vegetarian foods. In all honesty, there aren’t many, but for vegetarians traveling to Yucatan Mexico, you’ll definitely have to try the papadzules (pronounced pa-pawed-zool-es).
- Poc Chuc | Yucatan Foods: Main Plates. Poc chuc is a thin pork filet that’s only seasoned with naranja agria juice, then grilled. Though a seemingly simple dish, poc chuc let’s two of the central and most important Yucatan ingredients shine — pork and naranja agria (sour orange).
- Queso Relleno. Queso relleno, meaning “stuffed cheese,” is a more modern dish — and actually, heavily influenced by the European and Dutch expats who moved to the Yucatan.
- X’catic Relleno. Chili x’catic (pronounced ish-ka-teek) is a long, bright yellow chili pepper, similar to a banana pepper. It is a bit spicy, and used most often in crema de chili x’catic, a creamy dip you can find in most grocery stores.
- Lomitos de Valladolid. While Yucatan foods are regional, some are even more local to one specific city. Lomitos de Valladolid is one such dish, originating in the pueblo magico (magic town) of Valladolid, Mexico — an up-and-coming travel destination that’s considered one of the safest cities in Mexico.
- Castican (Pork Belly) As you have noticed by now, the main protein in Yucatan cuisine is pork. Castacan is a Yucatecan pork belly preparation, where the meat is slow cooked in its own lard, then baked to crispy perfection.
- Lechon. Lechon is slow roasted pork, popular in the Philippines and much of Latin America. While it’s not exactly an endemic Yucatan dish, it is one you can get everywhere in the Yucatan nowadays.
- Tzic de Venado (Salpicon) Salpicon de res is popular throughout Mexico. It is a shredded meat dish that’s often served cold, along with different veggies.
- Sopa de Lima | Yucatan Foods: Soups & Stews. Sopa de lima (lime soup) is a favorite among Yucatan Mexican foods. It is a simple chicken or turkey and vegetable soup, but the lima yucateca (Yucatecan lime) gives it a unique citrus flavor.
