The Latin Kitchen - Season 1 Episode 15 Classic Mexican Dishes with Avocado
Mexican-born chef Luis Valenzuela loves the diversity of his home country's cuisine, but his favourite dishes are the simple recipes that make you the star of the kitchen. For his first dish, he prepares a refreshing shrimp ceviche, a dish known to all Latin cuisines. Luis gives this delicate dish a Mexican twist with a splash of tequila, lime for freshness, and tops it all off with creamy avocado. Our host then prepares some vibrant avocado and tomato salsa for a crispy chorizo tostada. Luis shows us how to transform the tostada by crisping up a tortilla in a hot-oiled pan. Quick, simple and absolutely delicious. Next, it's time for a classic Mexican dish: carnitas. Luis cooks up a pork cutlet low and slow, just like they do in street stalls all over Mexico, flavouring the meat with a garlic and orange marinade. When the meat is ready, he crisps it up to balance out the accompanying creamy avocado salsa. The mouth-watering result is more than worth the wait.
