— Recipes from Carla’s kitchen —
Tastes like home, tastes like Honduras
“Cooking our food here in the UK is like going home for a little while. I’m sharing the recipes from my table, step by step. They’ll turn out amazing!”
CarlaCo-founder of Kerrrico8 baleadas
- 1 pack (400 g) baleada flour
- 3 tbsp (45 g) vegetable shortening
- ½ tsp salt
- About 220 ml warm water
- 1 tin refried red beans (frijoles volteados)
- 150 g grated hard cheese (queso duro, or feta)
- 150 ml mantequilla rala (Honduran cream) or soured cream
- Hot sauce, to taste
- Optional: scrambled egg, avocado or grilled steak
- Mix the flour and salt, then rub in the shortening with your fingertips until it looks like damp sand.
- Add the warm water little by little and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is soft and no longer sticky.
- Shape 8 balls, brush them with shortening and cover. Let them rest 20 minutes — don’t skip this!
- Stretch them by hand until thin, about the size of a plate. If one tears, no worries — on to the next!
- Cook on a very hot dry griddle for 40–60 seconds per side, until they puff up with golden spots.
- Spread with warm beans, cheese and cream, fold in half and enjoy with hot sauce!
18 pastelitos
- Dough
- 400 g Maseca corn flour
- 1½ tsp ground achiote
- 1 tsp salt
- 550–600 ml warm water
- Filling
- 400 g minced beef
- 2 small potatoes, finely diced
- ½ onion, ½ green pepper and 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- Salt and a pinch of cumin
- Oil for frying
- To serve: pickled cabbage with tomato and culantro, plus chilli
- Fry the onion, garlic and pepper; add the beef and brown it. Stir in the potato, tomato paste, salt, cumin and ½ cup of water; cover for 15 minutes until the potato is soft and dry. Let it cool.
- Mix the Maseca with the achiote and salt, adding the water gradually until the dough is soft, like modelling clay.
- Make 18 balls and flatten them between two sheets of plastic into thin discs of about 12 cm.
- Add a spoonful of filling, fold into a half-moon using the plastic and seal the edge with a fork.
- Fry at 180 °C for 3–4 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve them hot with pickled cabbage, tomato, culantro and a few drops of chilli. You won’t stop at one!
+ 2 h marinating
- Chicken
- 1.2 kg chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks)
- 3 tbsp mustard
- 3 tbsp Lizano sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Don Julio garlic sauce (ajo listo)
- Salt and 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup plain flour, to coat
- Oil for frying
- To serve
- 4 green bananas, for the tajadas
- ¼ cabbage, shredded, with encurtido and a squeeze of lime
- Dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup ketchup and 2 tbsp mustard
- Chimol and Don Julio hot sauce, to taste
- Score the chicken and rub it well with the mustard, Lizano sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic sauce, salt and pepper. Chill for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
- Toss the cabbage with the encurtido, lime juice and a pinch of salt; keep it cold so it picks up flavour.
- Press the chicken into the flour and fry at 170 °C for 16–18 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through.
- Peel the green bananas, slice them long and thin (keep them in salted water so they don’t darken) and fry at 180 °C until crisp. Salt them straight away.
- For the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard.
- Build the plate: tajadas, chicken on top, plenty of dressing, then the cabbage, chimol and Don Julio hot sauce. Just like the street stalls in San Pedro Sula!
+ overnight soaking
- Soup
- 450 g silk red beans
- 300 g pork chicharrón (crackling with some meat)
- 3 green bananas (guineos), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 onion, 1 green pepper and 4 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch culantro (wide-leaf coriander)
- Salt, pepper and a pinch of cumin
- Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Maseca corn flour
- About 1½ cups warm water and a pinch of salt
- To serve
- Don Julio hot sauce, Honduran cream and avocado
- Soak the beans overnight; the next day drain and rinse them.
- Simmer them in 2.5 litres of water with the onion, pepper and garlic for 1½–2 hours, until soft (about 40 minutes in a pressure cooker).
- Blend a cup of the beans with a little broth and stir it back in, so the soup turns nice and thick.
- Peel the green bananas, cut them into chunks and add them with the chicharrón, culantro, salt, pepper and cumin. Simmer 20–25 minutes, until the banana is tender.
- Meanwhile, mix the Maseca with salt and warm water, shape small balls, flatten them and cook on a hot griddle for about 1 minute per side.
- Serve it piping hot with the tortillas, a drizzle of cream, avocado and Don Julio hot sauce. Tastes like Sunday at home!
