Authors: Kat Samson
is considered one of the healthiest fruits ever. It is creamy, rich and has a high content of good fats, fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. It also has a mild taste which means that it doesn’t influence the taste of any food, and it is easy to pair with most spices.
Limes
Limes or lemons, they are without doubt part of the Mexican cuisine because the tangy taste mellows down the ferocious heat in most dishes.
Fresh Herbs
When it comes to fresh herbs, the most common is cilantro, known as coriander in many countries. Its intense aroma is used in many Mexican recipes to enhance all of the other flavors and add a touch of freshness. However, parsley can also be used if cilantro proves hard to find.
Tools / Equipment
All recipes found in this book require basic tools and equipment, but here is a list of all you need and a short guide on what to buy.
Skillet or Frying Pan
There is a difference between the two of them – the skillet is heavy and conducts heat better than any frying pan. It can also be used in the oven , and if maintained properly, it will last you for a lifetime. But its weight can also make it hard to handle and that is when a frying pan steps in with its lighter weight. The options when it comes to frying pans are wide and varied. You can choose a non-stick pan or a ceramic pan, but no matter what the material is, make sure that the pan has a thick, double bottom to conduct the heat properly and to protect the food from burning.
Knife
Mexican cooking requires quite a lot of chopping , so a good knife is a great addition to your kitchen. When buying a knife, hold it in your hand, make sure it fits your hand and it is lightweight and easy to use. A knife that is difficult to use represents a danger in the kitchen.
Potato Masher
You will often have to mash various ingredients and a potato masher is handy to have in the kitchen. Making guacamole will be much easier with this handy tool.
Blender or Food Processor
Technology can surely make cooking easier and a powerful food processor is the tool you need for blending ingredients, especially for making sauces or creamy coups or chopping ingredients. Many Paleo Mexican recipes use cashew nuts, so I recommend investing in a powerful blender or food processor, that’s able to mash nuts.
Spoons & Bowls
What would a kitchen be withou t some bowls and spoons? I recommend buying metal or ceramic bowls because they are easier to clean and don’t retain stale smells or get stained. As for spoons, the silicone ones can be found in most cooking stores, and are both flexible and easy to clean; they don’t retain smell and are heat-proof.
