Recipe of Kak'ik de pato

Join me and let's see how to make Kak'ik de pato

Instructions:

Step 1
• Place the turkey pieces in a large pot and cover them with 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30-40 minutes or until the turkey is tender and cooked through. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface while cooking.
Step 2
• While the turkey is simmering, prepare the chili sauce. In a separate pan, toast the dried guaque chilies and chipotle chilies over low heat until they become fragrant. Remove from heat and soak them in hot water for about 15-20 minutes until they soften.
Step 3
• Drain the softened chilies and transfer them to a blender. Add chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, and achiote paste. Blend until you have a smooth chili sauce. If needed, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 4
• In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Pour in the chili sauce and cook it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 5
• Add the cooked chili sauce to the pot with the turkey. Stir in chopped onion, ground allspice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
• Finally, add the chilacayote squash chunks to the pot and simmer until they are tender about 15 minutes.
Step 7
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt and pepper.
Step 8
• Serve hot in bowls with a scoop of cooked white rice in each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
