♪
2
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:31,631
Mexico is such a big country
with so many different regions.
3
00:00:31,631 --> 00:00:34,267
So much history
in each of the regions.
4
00:00:34,267 --> 00:00:37,203
I want to showcase you
that history with three dishes:
5
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:40,106
pork, chicken and shrimp.
6
00:00:40,106 --> 00:00:43,009
And for the shrimp,
I'm going to make aguachile.
7
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:48,882
♪
8
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,283
Avocado.
9
00:00:50,283 --> 00:00:53,987
It is as iconic in Mexico,
as chillies and cactuses are.
10
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:56,489
And I want you to take
a close look at this, eh?
11
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:59,259
How you pick a good avocado
is by touch.
12
00:00:59,259 --> 00:01:01,728
It has to be a little soft
to the touch.
13
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:03,963
Not too soft,
otherwise it's too ripe.
14
00:01:03,963 --> 00:01:05,432
But if it doesn't feel soft,
15
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:08,835
then that means that
it needs time to ripen.
16
00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:11,738
Now, how amazing is that
that with a fruit,
17
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,506
you can identify a country?
18
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:16,009
It's like saying, "maple syrup,"
you think of Canada.
19
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:17,710
You think of avocado,
20
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,914
and who will you be thinking of,
if it's not Mexico?
21
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:24,717
First things first.
I'm going to make my marinade.
22
00:01:24,717 --> 00:01:28,955
And for that, serrano peppers.
Super-spicy.
23
00:01:28,955 --> 00:01:30,356
I want all the spiciness
in it.
24
00:01:30,356 --> 00:01:32,959
So, remember
that all the seeds contain
25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,928
where most of the spices
of the chillies are,
26
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:37,997
and I want to get
every single bite of it.
27
00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:42,302
Because this is what's going to
make our marinade fiery.
28
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:43,703
Cucumber is going to help
my marinade
29
00:01:43,703 --> 00:01:47,273
to just become
a little more fresh.
30
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:49,375
That's perfect.
31
00:01:52,745 --> 00:01:57,183
Cilantro not only is going to
add aromas to it,
32
00:01:57,183 --> 00:01:59,519
but it's going to make
our firewater green.
33
00:02:02,088 --> 00:02:03,656
Lime.
34
00:02:03,656 --> 00:02:05,458
Now, how Mexican this is.
35
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:06,960
Just think about it:
avocados,
36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,863
serrano, cilantro, lime.
37
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:14,067
I mean, this dish
speaks Spanish already.
38
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:17,070
And just to finish, tequila.
39
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,973
Just a little bit.
Just a little splash.
40
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,375
And then I'm ready
to blend this.
41
00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:26,346
(Whirring)
42
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:30,717
Don't be afraid to shake it
like a margarita.
43
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:38,658
Okay, let's take a look
at our marinade.
44
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:39,959
It's a little creamy.
45
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:41,928
We want the lime
to come through.
46
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:44,230
Now, it is the acidity
of the limes
47
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:48,101
that basically cooks the fish,
or the shrimp in this case.
48
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:49,102
We're basically making
a marinade
49
00:02:49,102 --> 00:02:52,038
with these chillies
and the avocado,
50
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:54,507
the tequila and the cilantro.
51
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:07,687
Oh, man.
52
00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:09,656
It is great.
53
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:12,692
Super-spicy, but it's fresh
54
00:03:12,692 --> 00:03:16,196
and the avocado just brings
enough creaminess to it.
55
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:18,097
And now, for my ceviche,
56
00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:20,099
my personal favourite: shrimp.
57
00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:21,968
I'm going to cut them in half
58
00:03:21,968 --> 00:03:23,703
because when you make ceviche,
59
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:25,071
if you were to add these
right into the marinade
60
00:03:25,071 --> 00:03:27,807
they'll take forever to cook.
61
00:03:27,807 --> 00:03:31,878
So, by just cutting it in half,
we're reducing the time.
62
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:40,954
♪
63
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:44,290
Now I'm ready to build
my aguachile.
64
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:47,293
I'm going to make a layer
of the shrimp.
65
00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:49,796
We're going to cover them
with salt.
66
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:51,231
This is very important,
67
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,566
because I want the shrimp
to start curing.
68
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,802
And this is almost ready.
69
00:03:55,802 --> 00:03:57,403
This is what makes this dish
so crazy,
70
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:58,738
because it's just--
71
00:03:58,738 --> 00:04:00,907
It takes literally 15 minutes
to make
72
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,442
from start to finish.
73
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:05,612
We're going to cover it,
very gentle,
74
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:07,380
with our beautiful marinade.
Look at this.
75
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:08,581
Basically,
it's going to start tenderizing
76
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:10,483
the outside layer of the shrimp,
77
00:04:10,483 --> 00:04:12,619
but I want the rest
of the flavours
78
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:14,220
to infuse the shrimp with it.
79
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,822
So, I want the serrano
to come through.
80
00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:18,157
I want the cilantro
81
00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:20,560
just to become very aromatic
with it.
82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,495
Just to finish this dish,
83
00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:25,531
cucumber and red onions.
84
00:04:25,531 --> 00:04:28,368
I like mine to be cut
as thin as I can.
85
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:29,802
Look at this.
86
00:04:29,802 --> 00:04:33,306
It's going to add
a bit of colour difference,
87
00:04:33,306 --> 00:04:36,542
but also, it's going to add
a bit of crunchiness to it.
88
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:39,746
It's going to be so delicious.
89
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:42,181
But I already have some
that I marinated earlier,
90
00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:45,084
and they're ready to be eaten.
91
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:47,086
Take a look at this, eh?
92
00:04:47,086 --> 00:04:50,923
This is how you know that
the shrimp is cooked.
93
00:04:50,923 --> 00:04:52,091
You see that?
94
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:54,127
The colour has changed in it.
95
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,763
The inside of the flesh of
the shrimp is a little whiter.
96
00:04:58,765 --> 00:05:00,233
And now, in Mexico--
97
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,835
So, ceviches are extremely,
extremely popular.
98
00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:06,406
And where I'm from,
99
00:05:06,406 --> 00:05:08,908
I'm sure you guys have heard of
Puerto Vallarta.
100
00:05:08,908 --> 00:05:11,344
So, if you guys like
the resorts there,
101
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:13,746
make sure to ask for this:
ceviche con aguachile.
102
00:05:13,746 --> 00:05:16,249
I'm going to add
a bit of cilantro,
103
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:19,352
and to make this
a little pretty, avocado,
104
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:22,855
cucumber and nachos.
105
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:29,896
I'm ready to start this fiesta.
106
00:05:29,896 --> 00:05:32,799
Okay.
107
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:39,472
This dish is absolutely superb.
108
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:41,607
It is a home run, for sure.
109
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:44,143
You can cook it with limes,
lemons,
110
00:05:44,143 --> 00:05:46,179
even oranges if you want to.
111
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:48,181
It just is delicious.
It's just-- Wow.
112
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:53,920
Aguachile,
such an incredible dish
113
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,522
with so many layers of flavour.
114
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:58,725
The tequila comes through
super-nice.
115
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:00,493
But I just feel like having
another snack.
116
00:06:00,493 --> 00:06:01,828
The next dish?
117
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,796
I want to make tostadas
for you.
118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:17,410
♪
119
00:06:22,081 --> 00:06:23,850
Tostadas are like tacos,
120
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:26,219
but with a crispy shell.
121
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:28,888
It is like eating calle nachos.
122
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:31,858
I'm just cooking some tomatillos
and chorizos for these.
123
00:06:31,858 --> 00:06:36,496
The smell of the chorizo
takes me back to my childhood.
124
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,564
I used to help my mother
on Sundays.
125
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:40,032
We used to go to a market,
126
00:06:40,032 --> 00:06:41,667
almost like a farmers' market.
127
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:44,637
So, you have to imagine
this place is full of people
128
00:06:44,637 --> 00:06:46,339
and everyone is talking
and bustling.
129
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:48,841
And I'm trying to follow
my mother,
130
00:06:48,841 --> 00:06:51,844
and we would always end up
at the end of the market
131
00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:53,513
where the food stands were.
132
00:06:53,513 --> 00:06:56,182
And my favourite food stand
was the tostada one.
133
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:59,552
I'm blistering my tomatillos
134
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,187
'cause I want to add
that extra flavour
135
00:07:01,187 --> 00:07:03,790
into my tostadas.
I'm making my sauce with it.
136
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:05,258
It's going to be the basis
of it.
137
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,160
Now, if you cannot get
tomatillos,
138
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,797
you can use red tomatoes
or even dried tomatoes.
139

♪
140
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:21,307
Now, I want heat in my sauce,
141
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:23,776
and for the tomatillos,
serrano peppers.
142
00:07:23,776 --> 00:07:27,513
Just remember, serranos
are very, very, very spicy.
143
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:29,816
But I love, love
the heat in my sauce,
144
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:32,084
and I would say, so does
everyone in Mexico.
145
00:07:32,084 --> 00:07:33,986
We love our heat,
that's for sure.
146
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:39,992
So, you want to sauté these
just a little bit.
147
00:07:39,992 --> 00:07:43,196
So, I'm basically making
a salsa with this.
148
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:46,432
It's going to help us
rehydrate the chorizo,
149
00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:48,935
'cause once the chorizo gets
cooked it gets a little dry,
150
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:51,704
and now with the salsa, it's
going to make it a little moist.
151
00:07:51,704 --> 00:07:54,340
Obviously, it's going to add
some flavour to it as well.
152
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:56,309
Now, take a look
at the tomatoes.
153

Look at the seeds.
154
00:07:57,844 --> 00:08:00,313
They're all out.
The tomatoes are plummy.
155
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,583

and see how the tortilla
is puffing up.
174
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:19,358
So basically,
the heat is creating steam
175

Wow.
So, this, my friends,
177
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:26,566
it's turning into a tostada.
178
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:29,669
And what I'm looking here,
I want you to see this.
179
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:32,605
I want it to be crispy,
a little golden brown,
180
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:35,441
and when I touch them
I want them to crack.
181
00:09:35,441 --> 00:09:37,944
Just like that.
You see?
182
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:39,946
Perfect.
Look at this.
183
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:49,956
♪
184
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:57,930
Now I'm ready to build
my tostada.
185
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:58,931
Take a look at this, eh?
186
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:00,433
A super-size nacho.
187
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:03,803
Now, for this, my beautiful
chorizo and tomatillo salsa.
188
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:05,738
Take a look at this.
189
00:10:05,738 --> 00:10:07,673
It's creamy.
And don't be messy--
190
00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:09,675
Don't be scared with this
to get messy, eh?
191
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:14,347
Now, this cheese is called
Cotija cheese.
192
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:16,882
It's kind of like a feta cheese.
It's salted.
193
00:10:16,882 --> 00:10:18,184
I'm going to put enough
on top of it.
194
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:19,986
Man, I'm doing exactly
195
00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:21,921
what they would do
in Mexico City.
196
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:24,857
Now, just for freshness, I'm
going to add a bit of cabbage.
197
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:28,260
And a bit of avocado.
198
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,031
I am ready to eat this beauty.
199
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:33,566
To tell you the truth,
200
00:10:33,566 --> 00:10:36,402
every time I would have
one of these back home,
201
00:10:36,402 --> 00:10:38,137
I would always make a mess
of myself.
202
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:40,506
All the sauce would be
spilling on down my shirt,
203
00:10:40,506 --> 00:10:42,274
and then my mother
would get upset,
204
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:44,276
but it was so much fun to eat.
205
00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:47,847
Mmm.
206
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:50,016
No wonder Mexicans love avocado
so much.
207
00:10:50,016 --> 00:10:53,352
It cools the sauce a little bit.
208
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:56,422
Mmm.
209
00:10:56,422 --> 00:10:58,891
I'll tell you something, as a
kid, it was a lot easier to eat,
210
00:10:58,891 --> 00:11:00,626
because I didn't have
a moustache back then.
211
00:11:00,626 --> 00:11:04,063
And now, I'm turning my tostada
into a taco.
212
00:11:04,063 --> 00:11:06,065
A messy taco.
213
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:11,370
Now, this is something
I would get in the market.
214
00:11:11,370 --> 00:11:13,939
Now I want to make something
that I would get in the street:
215
00:11:13,939 --> 00:11:15,541
carnitas.
216
00:11:18,377 --> 00:11:27,386
♪
217
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:32,958
Mexico is very famous for
its carnitas dish.
218
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:35,561
It's a spectacular dish with
pork shoulder.
219
00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:37,263
Just beautiful.
220
00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:41,600
Full of fat, a lot of muscle,
and it's very tough,
221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,668
and that's why I'm going to be
using a lot of lard
222
00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:44,136
to cook this beauty.
223
00:11:44,136 --> 00:11:45,738
Now, to flavour the pork
224
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:49,208
I'm going to be using onions,
garlic, oranges,
225
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:52,378
bay leaves and cinnamon.
226
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:56,849
Now, take a look at the lard,
227
00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:58,851
our fat of choice in Mexico.
228
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:00,920
Now, if you cannot get lard,
229
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,755
you can always use canola oil.
230
00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:05,624
It's a great supplement
for this.
231
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:07,893
Now, take a look at this, eh?
This is super-cool.
232
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:10,062
I'm sure you have
never seen this.
233
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:13,132
We're putting oranges into
the lard.
234
00:12:13,132 --> 00:12:15,000
And listen to that bubbling
sound, eh?
235
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,604
Now, I'm going to get a bit of
bay leaves.
236
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:22,575
It is very important,
it brings a lot of aromatic
237
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:23,709
in most of the stews
that we cook.
238
00:12:23,709 --> 00:12:25,277
Onions.
239
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:26,579
Look at that.
240
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,514
And the garlic goes inside
as well.
241
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:31,083
And now, cinnamon.
242
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:34,620
Almost immediately, as soon as
you put the canela,
243
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:37,123
you can sense the aroma here.
Now, the pork.
244
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,191

250

that I add
at the end of my carnitas.
251
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:55,074
Cola. This is going to help with
the sweetness,
252
00:12:55,074 --> 00:12:58,744
and it's going to make the pork
caramelize a lot more,
253
00:12:58,744 --> 00:13:01,147
as well as it's going
to help tenderising.

Given the fact that
the avocado is so creamy,
348
00:18:22,568 --> 00:18:24,069

00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:25,537
That's what we need here.

It's going to be so delicious.

Okay.
354
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,971
(Clapping)
Mmm-hmm.
355
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:02,141
Delicious. The tomatillos come
through, super nice.
356
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,009
Although, my mother may not be
that happy
357
00:19:04,009 --> 00:19:06,011
that I just shared
our family secret.
358
00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:12,317
Tortillas. You could not have
carnitas without them.
359
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:13,719
There's many ways
of cooking tortillas,
360
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:15,154
you can cook them on top
of a pan,
361
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,623
you can deep fry them, make
tostadas with them or nachos,
362
00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:20,792
but I'm going to toast them.
363
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:22,728
So, this is what you want to
have on the tortillas,
364
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:24,830
that little pieces of burnt
365
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,598
is going to add an extra layer
of flavour to it.
366
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:28,467
And, you want to cook it enough
367
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:32,638
until you can actually play with
it and it won't break,
368
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:34,840
as oppose to this for example.
369
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,843
If I were to do this,
then it breaks, right?

Delicious.

I can smell the crispy corn.
373
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:03,936
Now for the pork.
374
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:07,472
Oh, man!

I can smell the cinnamon.
379
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:19,017
Now, in Mexico,
380
00:20:19,017 --> 00:20:23,589
carnitas are often served not
in one tortilla, but two,
381
00:20:23,589 --> 00:20:26,525
and the reason for it is you
want to really load that up.
382
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:27,826
Look at that.
383
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:30,796
With a pork shoulder,
look how much meat we made.
384
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:33,565
So, I suggest to you that when
you make this,
385
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,034
invite your friends or have it
with you family.
386
00:20:38,770 --> 00:20:40,772
Mmm-hmm.
387
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:45,944
I'm ready, ready, ready.
388
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:48,413
Now, as I mentioned earlier,
389
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:53,151
you cannot have carnitas
without guacamole...
390
00:20:53,151 --> 00:20:55,187
and salsa.
391
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:04,062
I cannot wait to have a bite of
this beauty.
392
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:09,935
This is an actual
magical moment.
393
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,871
You're going to get to see
a taco and in a couple seconds,
394
00:21:12,871 --> 00:21:14,873
you won't see it anymore.

00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:18,277
Mmm.

they work phenomenal with this,
it's just paradise.

When you go to Mexico,
Mexico City especially,
