PERUVIAN PINEAPPLE CHICKEN (POLLO A LA PINA)

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken medallions and toss to evenly coat. Set aside to marinate.
• Combine pineapple chunks, syrup, and sugar in a medium pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Boil until sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the stove, transfer pineapple chunks to a bowl, and leave syrup in the pot.
• Place potato starch in a bowl. Dredge marinated chicken medallions in potato starch; shake off excess.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, and fry until golden brown and crunchy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a wok. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until paste darkens, being careful it does not burn. Add bell pepper and cook until slightly softened but still crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in chicken medallions and pineapple chunks. Slowly mix in some of the syrup until mixture is lightly glazed; reserve remaining syrup for another use. Sprinkle with green onions.

CALDO DE POLLO

Steps:

• Place chicken legs into a large stock pot and pour water over chicken; add garlic, salt, and garlic powder. Cover, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until chicken meat falls off the bones, 1 to 2 hours. Stir in chicken bouillon cube and let dissolve.
• Mix carrots, potatoes, zucchini, chayote, and white onion in the broth, turn heat to medium-low, and cook soup at a low boil until carrots and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir chopped cilantro into soup, simmer for 5 minutes, and serve.

LIMBER DE COCO Y PIñA

Steps:

• Place six 8-ounce plastic cups on a tray small enough to fit into your freezer.
• Combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, coconut cream, pineapple chunks and sugar in a blender and blend until homogeneous. Taste for sweetness, adding a bit more sugar if you'd like.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared plastic cups, filling them to about 1/4 inch from the brim. Freeze for 1 hour, then stir each one with a small spoon to incorporate the mixture again in case it has separated a bit while sitting; the limbers should be at a slurry stage at this point, which should prevent the mixture from separating again after reincorporating. Continue to freeze until fully frozen, at least another 7 hours. The limbers will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
