POLLO RANCHO LUNA

There is an outdoor country-style restaurant in Havana, Cuba that serves only white rice, French fries and a delightful chicken with all the sauce you want. Someone gave me this recipe, and it's similar to the one served at that restaurant. The orange juice and lemon juice give it a sweet, pungent flavor.

I have brought this recipe with me, from the time we left Cuba in 1959 - the year that dreaded man took over - and ruined the country, as we can see now - some 40 odd years later. It is typical of the chicken dishes served all over Miami now.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Brown the chicken in batches: Don't overcrowd the pot or Dutch oven, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings: Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Pollo Ranchero is traditionally served with rice and beans, but you can also serve it with potatoes, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pollo Ranchero is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
