Introduction

A croquette is a small fried food roll containing usually as main ingredients mashed potatoes, and/or minced meat (veal, beef, chicken, or turkey), shellfish, fish, vegetables, and soaked white bread, egg, onion, spices and herbs, wine, milk, or any of the combination thereof, sometimes with a filling, often encased in breadcrumbs.[1] The croquette is usually shaped into a cylinder or disk, and then deep-fried. The croquette (from the French croquer, "to crunch") was a French invention[citation needed] that gained worldwide popularity, both as a delicacy and as a fast food.

Pollo al Chilindron is a common Spanish chicken dish from the northeast region of Aragon. There, they are famous for their tasty fresh red bell peppers and they are one of the main ingredients of this dish.The name of this famous dish comes from the name of the large heavy pot, called a chilindron, which they used to make this recipe.There are many versions of this famous Spanish chicken recipe. I have kept my version mostly traditional. This dish is easy to make and packs a lot of taste.

    Appropriate techniques such as frying the bean filling is a traditional Mexican technique as well the appropriate use of flavours/spices including; chilli, avocado, lime and beans brought together the elements and therefore make the dish authentic. In order to make it contemporary a basic recipe was chosen to show its simplicity for any Australian family to recreate as a family snack or even expand the portion size for an evening meal, furthermore, the serving platter added a modern twist through presentation and thus made the dish contemporary. One technique attempted was making home-made tortilla bread, however this component didn’t fulfil its purpose as the dough wouldn’t hold its form and would crumble when cooked. Therefore, as a substitute a pre-made tortilla was used in order to complete the…

    Cuban Cuisine

    • 791 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Cuban cuisine has been influenced by Spanish, French, African, Arabic, Chinese, and Portuguese cultures. Traditional Cuban cooking is primarily peasant cuisine that has little concern with measurements, order and timing. Most of the food is sautéed or slow-cooked over a low flame. Very little is deep-fried and there are no heavy or creamy sauces. Most Cuban cooking relies on a few basic spices, such as; garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay laurel leaves. Many dishes use a sofrito as their basis. The sofrito consists of onion, green pepper, garlic, oregano, and ground pepper quick-fried in olive oil. The sofrito is usually what gives Cuban food its distinct flavor. It is used when cooking black beans, stews, many meat dishes, and tomato-based sauces. Meats and poultry are usually marinated in citrus juices, like lime or sour orange juices, and then roasted over low heat until the meat is tender and literally falling off the bone. Another common staple to the Cuban diet are root vegetables such as: yuca, malanga, and boniato, which can be found in most Latin markets. These vegetables are flavored with a marinade, called mojo, which includes hot olive oil, lemon juice, sliced raw onions, garlic, cumin, and little water.…

    Anne Allison points out an interesting point about the relationship between food and Japanese women in her article “Japanese Mothers and Obentos: The Lunch-Box as Ideological State Apparatus”. She has insightful and different point of view of obento, a japanese lunch box which are highly crafted elaborations of food, that it is endowed with “ideological and gendered meanings” under state ideology (155). That is, both mother and child are being watched, judged, and constructed by society since making a good obento may please her child and also affirm that she is a good mother, and child consuming their entire meal in a appropriate manner is considered well-taught. This social phenomenon represents that culture is constructed with power which exerts a force which operates in ways that are subtle, disguised, and accepted as everyday social practice.…

    When I think Caribbean, I think pirates and food. The idea of pirates is the result of watching too many Disney films, but the thought of food comes from all of the influences from the Caribbean that have become popular in many restaurants. Through my experiences with food culture I have developed the idea of the Caribbean being a very tropical place. My recent move to Miami has brought me closer to the Caribbean, physically and socially. In class I have made friends with people from the Caribbean, and at working in kitchens as well. One culture in particular that seems to heavily influence local food is Haiti. I had the experience of working with a chef that is from Haiti, and he has a big culinary knowledge. Through recent research I have discover the island of Haiti and its history, the foods that grow in its tropical climate, and the dishes that have been developed from influences all around the world.…
