JICAMA CHILI STICKS



Jicama Chili Sticks image

In Mexico you can buy these on just about every street corner. They are usually round slices heavily laden with chili. Very refreshing. When you buy a Jicama make sure it is very firm and free from mold patches. When you slice it open the flesh must be white otherwise it is too old. This is a very low calorie recipe, it fact it is low everything!

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned and sliced
1 recipe quick court bouillon
1/4 cup lime juice
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
1 jicama, peeled and cut into julienne
1 red pepper, minced
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded if desired and minced
6 scallions, sliced thinly
2 Italian Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped
1 head Romaine lettuce, washed, separated into leaves, and dried
1 quart cold water
1 onion, chopped coarsely
1 bay leaf
10 peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup vinegar or 3/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Place squid in medium saucepan. Strain hot court bouillon over the squid. Turn heat on low so that liquid steams but does not simmer, for 1 minute. Taste a squid ring: it should be just opaque and tender. If still chewy and translucent, cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute but no longer. Drain squid and place in large bowl. Place lime juice in small bowl and drizzle in olive oil while whisking so as to form an emulsion. Pour vinaigrette over squid and stir to combine. Add all remaining ingredients except cilantro and lettuce, and stir well. Can be served immediately or held up to one day in refrigerator. Stir in cilantro immediately before serving. Serve on leaves of Romaine lettuce arranged on chilled plates.
  • Bring all ingredients to a boil in a medium sauce pan, lower to a simmer, and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Strain hot court-bouillon over squid.
