CHOCOLATE “Xcolatl”

Mexico has contributed many items to the world…Tomatoes, Avocado, Vanilla, Chillies, Pumpkin, and of course CHOCOLATE!

THE RUMOURS:

Moctezuma sipped Chocolate from a cup of solid gold after a typical 30 (yes 30!) course dinner. Over time (after the Spanish Conquest), chocolate ceased to be exclusive to nobility, yet still commanded extremely high prices. Cacao beans were used as currency in pre-Hispanic times…this form of currency was readily embraced by the Spanish.

HOW DO WE ASSOCIATE CHOCOLATE WITH MEXICAN CUISINE TODAY?

The use of chocolate in Mexican cuisine generally conjures up thoughts of “Mole” and at Amigos, we’re featuring it in our Mexican Inspired Xcolatl Truffles over Easter!

INTERESTING INGREDIENT

“HEART OF PALM”
(also known as Palmitos, Swamp Cabbage or Burglar’s Thigh!)

WHAT IS IT?
As it’s name suggests…it is literally the heart of a palm! In particular it is the inner core of young palm varieties such as the Palmito Jucara, Acai or Pejibaye. Growers have also developed a variety called Peach Palm that can yield up to 40 hearts and live on after harvesting, encouraging sustainable farming practices and allowing it to be available at an affordable price.
WHERE IS IT FROM?
The largest producers are Brasil, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
Heart of Palm is versatile and famed for it’s unique and delicate flavour. So, what does it taste like? Perhaps slightly nutty,with a little hint White Asparagus / Artichoke. It has a certain indefinable quality and interesting texture that make it a very welcome addition to almost any dish.
HOW CAN I USE IT?
Try it in our Pollo Pinxtos. OR try it at home in almost any salad dish (you can slice it in rounds or peel in strips lengthways) or with a grilled prawn / scallopdish with a good squeeze of fresh lemon or lime.

PROJECTS ABROAD

From the demand for more, 1 became 3 and now the plan is to keep growing! SO, with all the success, giving back is high on the agenda. Amigos co-founder Carolyn Dib has been abroad, spending time setting up sustainable projects in Kenya through the Mina Academy with a 2 year commitment to contribute $1,400 EUROS p/month through various people sponsoring a child (each Amigos store and founder Carolyn included!) to aid creating income generating projects so they no longer have to rely on foreign aid…

The great team at TLC for Kids also donated 100 teddy bears, there was some fun had at an orphan party, an office was created and Amigos Franchising sponsored a new computer system and the drive to fill a shipping container of clothes, furniture and useful things to the school is now happening!
