ʻO ka mōʻaukala a me ka hoʻohana ʻana o tajín, kahi condiment Mekiko ʻo ia "kahi ala o ke ola"

ʻO kahi ʻono paʻakai a me ka ʻono hoʻi, me kahi leka hou, i lanakila ai i nā pā, ʻo ia hoʻi ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka New York Times ua kāhea ka mea kākau moʻolelo o ka meaʻai Mekiko ʻo Gustavo Arellano iā ia he "ʻano nohona": akā he aha ka mea nui loa tagine? Keia kono hui o ka paʻakai, ka lime a me ka chilli, mai ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai, ua hoʻohana ʻia ia e ʻono ai i kēlā me kēia pā, mai ke kakaka i nā huaʻai hou, e like me ka paina a me ka mango. I kēia lā e haʻi mākou iā ʻoe pehea i hānau ʻia ai a he aha ka mea i maʻalahi ai i ka lumi kuke, akā mua he mea nui e hana i nā wehewehe ʻana ʻelua. ʻAʻole pono e huikauʻoiaʻiʻo, Me ka tagine a me ka tagine, pakahi hoʻi ka ipuhao o nā kumu kahiko a me ka pā i loko o ia kuke i ka moʻomeheu ʻApelika ʻĀkau: ʻaneʻane like nā huapalapala, akā me nā ʻokoʻa nui, e hoʻomaka ana mai ka puana ʻana. ʻO ka lua, pono mākou e ʻae i kahi digression liʻiliʻi: ka Mekiko tajín, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia hoʻokahi salsa (he pauma kolo), hoʻomaka ia mai ka moʻomeheu lōʻihi i loaʻa i kēia mau condiment i ka meaʻai o Mekiko.

Ma kahi i hānau ai ka hoʻouluulu no tajín: ka mea nui o nā sausa i ka meaʻai Mekiko  

E like me kā mākou i manaʻo ai, e hoʻi i kahi ala iki i hope. Mea ʻai Mekiko he ipu hoʻoheheʻe o nā meaʻai like ʻole a me nā kuʻuna, i hele mai nā mea ʻelua mai ʻEulopa a mai ka poʻe kahiko ma mua o Columbian, a hāʻawi i ke ola i kahi momi maoli: ʻaʻole ia he mea kūpono, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lilo ia Pūnaewele Hoʻoilina o ka Honua no UNESCO. Nā sausa he kuleana nui lākou ma loko ona e rpani lākou ʻoi aku ma mua o kahi condiment wale: ʻo lākou kekahi o kāna kumu. Kau ʻia ma ka papa ʻaina i hiki i kēlā me kēia ʻaina ke lawe i ka nui i makemake ʻia, a i ʻole aia ma ka pā, a nui nā mea ʻono, no ka mea pepa chili ʻo ia, e like me kāu e ʻike ai, kahi mea waiwai nui o kēia meaʻai.

No laila ʻike mākou i ka guacamole, ka ʻalakekoa avocado kaulana; ma laila ʻūmū ʻōmaʻomaʻo, hana ʻia me nā ʻōmato ʻōmaʻomaʻo Mekiko; ma laila meaʻai kākele (jalapeños, ʻōmato a me kālika i kāwili ʻia, me ka hoʻohui o ka aila, paʻakai, ʻokiʻoki a me ka coriander) a ʻeleʻele sauce (kālua ʻia a hoʻomaʻalili ʻia ʻo chilli a me kālika); ka bila moa, a i ʻole ka mea ʻono hou, hana ʻia mai nā tumato hou me ka ʻaka a me ka coriander. ʻO kekahi condiment kaulana loa a salsa hale hānai holoholona, hana ʻia mai nā ʻōmaka Mekiko a me kālika kālua ʻia, nā chillies serrano, ʻaʻole ʻuala loa, hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā fajitas a me nā burritos. A laila aia nā poblano moleʻO ia mole ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā mea ʻē aʻe mololo, kahi ʻohana nui o nā sausa e loaʻa mai paha mai ka moʻomeheu Aztec: he kokoleka kekahi i waena o nā mea hana, a hoʻohana ʻia e kuke i kaʻiʻo. A i ʻole, loaʻa iā mākou ka Mākala Veracruz, ʻaʻole ʻono loa a waiwai i nā mea hoʻohui (jalapeños, ʻoliva, kālika, ʻaka, kāpena, aila ʻoliva), ka ʻenemi habanero, hana ʻia me nā pepa o ka inoa like a me ka nīoi loa a me ka mūkini cascabel, nona ka inoa o nā pepa i hoʻomākaukau ʻia, kūpono i nā meaʻai iʻa. ʻO ka hope, eia ka meaʻai kākele quemada, me nā ʻōmato palaoa, la mea ʻono momona a ʻono hoʻi a me kalole ʻaʻano, i hana ʻia me nā mea ʻala, nā lomi a me ka vīneka cider apple.

ʻIke nō, ʻaʻole mākou i ʻōlelo iā lākou āpau, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka laulā o ka papa inoa. Ma waho o ka chilli, ka hapa nui o kēia mau hoʻomākaukau ka wai lime, kahi mea hoʻokumu pū kekahi i ka tajín, ka mea kikoʻī hoʻouluulu ʻia e nā sausa Mekiko, akā ʻo ka mea like ke nānā aku he pauka a loaʻa iā ia ma ke kuʻi ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui.

Pehea ka tagine Mekiko a pāhola ʻia

ʻO Mekiko ka tajín e kona papa kuhikuhiE hoʻi mai i ka makahiki 1985, ka makahiki o kāna "hana hou" na Horacio Fernandez, kahi kanaka ʻike maka a pīhoihoi i ka meaʻai o kona ʻāina. He moʻolelo ʻohana ia, ma kekahi ʻano, mai ʻo ka mea i hoʻouluulu ʻia no kēia ʻaʻahu ʻana mai loko mai o ka mea ʻono i hana ʻia mai nā chili a me ka wai lime ua hoʻomākaukau kona kupuna wahine ʻo Mamá Necha i kona wā liʻiliʻi, kahi hauʻoli maoli no nā mea āpau. Ua ʻike mākou, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā sausa ka puʻuwai kuʻi o Mexico, ke hiki mai ka manawa e noho ai i ka papa ʻaina.

Akā, e hoʻi kāua iā Mr. Fernandez, ka mea i loko o ka lumi kuke o kona kupunawahine, i ʻānai loa ʻia e nā ʻala a me nā ʻono i puka mai nā ipu i hoʻomākaukau ʻia e ka wahine, akā ʻoi aku ma mua o nā mea ʻono kūikawā. ʻO kahi mea kālaki, ʻoiaʻiʻo: ʻo Fernandez, eia naʻe, ʻoiai makemake ʻo ia e hana kope i ke kaulike o nā ʻono, ke ʻimi nei i kahi mea kūpono e hali, e ninini i ka meaʻai a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi. No laila, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi ala e maloo i ka maikaʻi loa nā lihi (o nā ʻano ʻekolu, árbol, guajillo a me pasilla) a hoʻomaloʻo i ka lime, i ʻole e nalo ko lākou ʻala nui, ua hoʻohui ʻo ia iā lākou i ka paʻakai a minced i nā mea āpau, e hoʻomākaukau ana i ka tajín ante litteram. ʻO kona inoa, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e hele mai i ka wā o kahi huakaʻi i ʻO El Tajín, kahi pūnaewele archaeological monumental, aia ma ka hema o Mekiko. I kēlā manawa, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ʻike ʻo Fernandez ʻo "aji" ka inoa a nā poʻe e noho ana ma ia wahi i kapa aku ai he chili.

Mai ke kālepa ʻana i kahi kūleʻa, pōkole loa ke kaʻi: ʻaʻole i hala he mau makahiki he XNUMX ma hope, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua kāʻei ka tajín i ka palena, mākaukau e whete i nā pā o ʻAmelika. I kēia lā hana ʻia lākou nā ʻano ʻokoʻa, e like me ka mea ma luna o habanero.

ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana o tajín i ka lumi kuke

Aloha ʻia e nā poʻe Mekiko, he nui nā mea mahalo a ka tajín hoʻi ma USA, a me ka nui o nā hoʻohana, e like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai. I ʻItalia hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole nā ​​hale kūʻai lāhui a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ka ʻiʻo a me ka iʻa, ma ka tī, ma nā kīʻaha ʻaoʻao mea kanu, ma ka palaoa i hoʻomoʻa ʻia a i hoʻomoʻa ʻia paha, e like me ka hua: nui, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, mahalo i kona ʻono ma nā watermelons, nā paina a me nā hua pāhihi ʻē aʻe, i ka salakeke hua, ʻoiai ma kahi mea hoʻolele. ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka chili a me ka lime a laila maikaʻi loa kāhiko cocktails e like me Margarita, Mary koko, a i ʻole nā ​​mea inu hua ʻona ʻole. He ʻōmaʻomaʻo mau, i ka pōkole, i manaʻo ʻia e lilo i holomua.

Ua lohe paha ʻoe e pili ana i ka tajín Mekiko? Ua ʻono ʻoe iā ia?

ʻO ka ʻatikala ʻO ka mōʻaukala a me ka hoʻohana ʻana o tajín, kahi condiment Mekiko ʻo ia "kahi ala o ke ola" me he mea lā ʻo ia ka mea mua ma Puke Pai Mea ʻai.
