When you aren't outside on the BBQ or smoker but you still want something good to eat.

Peruvian Citrus Chicken – Slow cooked spicy Pork and Beans – Green Dipping Sauce



I started this last night and finished it up this morning and it turned out perfect.

I marinated the chicken and started the spicy pork and beans around midnight. I started cooking the chicken and made the dipping sauce around 12 hours later.

Spicy Pork and Beans
24 oz can of Pinto Beans
6 oz boneless pork chops
4 oz can of diced green chilies
8 oz can diced tomato
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ finely diced onion
1 lime
1 tea spoon chipotle chili pepper
½ tea spoon ancho chili pepper
½ tea spoon coarse black pepper
½ tea spoon coarse sea salt
18 oz water

Peruvian Citrus Chicken Marinade
5 garlic cloves
4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
3 table spoon EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 table spoon coarse sea salt
1 table spoon cumin
2 tea spoon paprika
1 tea spoon coarse black pepper
1 tea spoon dried oregano
2 tea spoon organic sugar

Green Dipping Sauce
2-4 Sereno or Jalapeno peppers
3 garlic cloves
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup real mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 table spoon fresh squeezed lime juice
½ tea spoon coarse sea salt
¼ tea spoon coarse black pepper
2 table spoon EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Spicy Pork and beans
Cooked in a crock pot.
Drain the fluid from a 24 oz. can of Pinto beans and add it in the crock pot
Dice the pork chops into ½” squares
place the rest of the ingredients into the crock pot.
Set it to low and let it cook for 12 hours or more turning it once in a while. The longer it cooks, the better it gets.

Peruvian Citrus Chicken
Place the marinade ingredients into a blender or food processor until smooth.
Clean a whole 4-5 Lb chicken and remove all the extra parts.
Use a small handle from a wooden spoon to lift the skin from the chicken and place ½ the marinade under the skin and spread the rest over it.
Let is marinate in the fridge for 6-12 hours.
It cooks best in a pan with a rack to cook it evenly.
Place the chicken in a pre-heated oven at 425* cook for 20 min.
Lower to 375* and cook for 60-70 min until internal temp is 165*
Let it rest, covered for 15 minutes.

Green Dipping Sauce
Slice peppers and remove seeds for a more mild sauce
add all ingredients into a blender or food processor until smooth.

I made essentially the same thing recently. That cilantro sauce is out of this world fantastic.

There was a good post your dinner thread on here, I'll see if I can bump it.

I was getting hungry so I started going thru the fridge looking for something to eat. I ended up making spicy noodles.

Cooked up a couple of these. I used the spice packs but replaced the lard and soy sauce with olive oil, fish sauce and soy sauce.


Steaming hot and so good.

Tonight the theme was Island Feast. I made the cilantro sauce. It was followed by an outdoor viewing of Mouna.
