Because the weather is cooling, we've been thinking more about stew and it seems so has our favorite person of the month, Sarah Palin. At least, she's been stewing in the juices of the "media elite", you know, those people who actually got their degrees in journalism and spent years crafting their interview abilities, those people who really do read all of those publications "everyone that's put in front of them (sic.)".
In honor of Palin's bumbling week of media relations, here's a recipe from Family Circle, a publication that perhaps Palin can digest, for Chicken Posole. Although, posole, a traditional New Mexican holiday food with its roots in Mexico (a country Palin has visited), might be a little exotic for the less-than-well-travelled candidate.
A few brief words about this recipe from your own Clever Gretel - this great-tasting stew is not only cost appropriate, $1.40 per serving, for dire economic times ("The brink of the abyss," according to France's President Sarkozy), it's also a good grain choice, with 4 grams of dietary fiber per cup of white hominy (15 percent of the daily value for fiber). That should give you the fortification you need to get through the rest of the election season:
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1-1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cans (15 ounces) white hominy, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium-size onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
- 2 large chicken bouillon cubes
- 4 cups water
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) petite cut diced tomatoes with jalapenos (such as Del Monte), drained
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Combine, garlic, chicken, hominy, onion, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, bouillon cubes and water in slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5 hours.
2. Remove cover and stir in tomatoes, lime juice, salt and pepper until warmed through. Serve imediately.
