Today's Recipe!

Chicken Paprika Stroganoff

Hallo, Welcome once again, Je Suis Le Mexicain and today we have begun this World Cup Championship and i  am excited by the fact that Russia is hosting this celebration , the mayor football party where every country but mostly the Host Country can show their best qualities, their best players and of course some of their local cuisine surprises. 

After watching the Russian national team victory over Saudi Arabia i was inspired to cook this meal. 

For years i've been in love with Russia and its culture, so the legendary Stroganoff came to me just months ago, because of influence from the chef Gordon Ramsay, with his recipe i try it once and kinda liked how it ended up, but now i tried again today and definitely liked more. 

What you need to make this Chicken Paprika Stroganoff is: 

-One sliced pepper

-One chopped garlic clove

-Half sliced onion 

-A cup of sliced mushrooms 

-Half cup of chopped parsley

-Sour Cream 

-750 grams of sliced chicken breast 

-Paprika

This needs a Spaetzle side but by the lack of German products in my country we can replace it with any kind of pasta you like, this time we picked some Italian penne. 

-A bag of pasta

-A tbsp of margarine or butter

-Salt

-Pepper

Process: Once you get all the ingredients sliced and chopped, place the chicken on a bowl, add oil and some paprika, mix until the chicken absorb all the red colour. Oil on pan, high flame, place the chicken on portions, once all the chicken is roasted set a side. 

On the same pan we roasted the chicken now with low flame, add more oil, and set the veggies, first the onion and the garlic, then the pepper, season, salt, pepper and some spices, move frequently, then the sliced mushrooms and the parsley, keep moving until every veggie gets soft. 

Take the chicken and add it to the veggies, remove to mix, then it's time for the sour cream to be added, take some kitchen spoons, with four or five is enough, you will see the reddish colour get a bit brown, turn off and wait. 

For the Pasta side we will just boil the pasta, recently we got a rice-maker and we boil the paste there with all the ingredients mixed to save time and keep it warm, so i recommend you to get one as soon as you can, you can add the butter or margarine, the seasoning and wait until it gets cooked. This should not represent any difficulty for people with some Italian heritage, easy peasy lemon squeeze 

Soft and seasoned

Try to place first the Stroganoff and the pasta above. 

Just like this, the final product

This meal is perfect for special dinners or just a family meeting while watching telly

A few months ago when i first tried this recipe my mother liked it so much she told me we had to repeat it and so we did it today.

I would like to dedicate this recipe and post to the late Anthony Bourdain (we will write a special post about him in further times) because he inspired me so much to creat this place, also it was a persistence by my mother she was all the time saying "Ye shall open a blog and write about what ye like, about food, music, something, do something like Bourdain would have done" and so here we are. 

So that's what Le Mexicain is all about, a safe space for you, to find music, food, places (we will focus later on the travel part) and to keep in touch with all of us, because that was the kind of person Bourdain was, a true heavy Punk Rocker. 

Rest In Peace, fella, we know you loved the world and worked so hard to be everywhere, So Long.

I want to thank all of you who read this and who see the blog because it makes me keep doing this and try new stuff, you can sahre this with your friends and people you know, by now i want to close this recipe with a few words. 

Eat, Love and Punk Rock, i leave reminding you to be happy and that Je Suis Le Mexicain. 

Au Revoir.
