Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves, slivered
- 1 (16 oz) jar medium salsa (can substitute a can of tomatoes with green chilis or you can use mild or hot according to you)
- 3 -4 leaves cilantro , . (optional ( i dislike cilantro myself. but its an important part of the southwestern flavor-set so i)
Directions:
- Unpackage and prep a roasting chicken or stew hen (take off the plastic, remove the giblets and neck from inside (save for stock), look over the skin and pluck any feathers with a washed pair of needlenose pliers, singe off any pinfeathers with a grill lighter, drain excess liquid from the cavity).
- Set it into a small roaster or dutch oven that has a secure lid.
- Sprinkle half the cumin and half the garlic slivers over the chicken.
- Put the other half of the seasonings into the cavity.
- Put half the salsa into the cavity and pour half over the chicken.
- Cover and roast at 300 for 2-3 hours or at 250 for 3 hours. You can remove the lid for the last half hour or so to get better browning.
- The meat will be very tender - falling off the bones (a stew hen may have more integrity depending on how tough it started before you tenderized it with the moist heat).
- Suggestion - serve over rice. Pass shredded cheddar or jack cheese at the table. Cornbread is a good too.
- Suggestion - For a vegetable I'd pick a salad of mixed greens or cucumbers in sour cream (cooling against the spices), or broccoli with cheese (strong enough a flavor to stand up and not be overwhelmed). Refried beans would be authentic - my family doesn't like them much but yours might.
