Apparently, this sweet-and-sour condiment came to Washington D.C. via Chicago, where it somehow became a staple in Chinese take-out restaurants served as a condiment with fried chicken wings, among other things. This is my version.

Time 3h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 fresh poblano chile peppers
8 ounces bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
2 pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, diced
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon New Mexico chile powder
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can mild red enchilada sauce
2 (29 ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the poblano chiles cut-side-down onto the baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard. Dice the chiles.
  • Cook and stir the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until it has released its fat and is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, and discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the pork loin cubes. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot, and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and is beginning to turn brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the roasted poblano chiles, jalapeno peppers, oregano, cumin, New Mexico chile powder, cloves, salt, and cilantro into the onions; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and enchilada sauce. Stir in the bacon and pork cubes, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour. Stir in the hominy, recover, and continue cooking 1 hour more until the pork is very tender.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield about 1 1/2 cups of mambo sauce

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, sugar, hot sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, smoked paprika and soy sauce over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe avocados: This will ensure that your sauce is creamy and flavorful.
  • Don't over-process the sauce: A few pulses in a blender or food processor is all you need to get a smooth consistency. Over-processing will make the sauce too runny.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your sauce a complex flavor profile. Some popular herbs and spices to use include cilantro, lime juice, garlic, onion, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: This will help you adjust the seasoning to your liking. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: Mumbo sauce is best when served fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mumbo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is especially popular as a dipping sauce for fried foods, such as chicken fingers, onion rings, and french fries. However, it can also be used as a marinade, a basting sauce, or a salad dressing. No matter how you use it, mumbo sauce is sure to add a burst of flavor to your meal.
