  • dough
Take a ball of dough, pat it in the hands, cup the other hand around the side to pinch up an edge, then pat it flat to remove the edge.
  • frijol colado
Cook the tortilla until it puffs; slit a hole in the side and spread strained black bean paste into the hollow with the fingers.
Fry the filled tortillas just to lightly re-crisp them, without turning.
Variation: the traditional panucho is topped with lettuce, shredded achiote chicken, one or two slices of tomato and pickled red onions.
  • chicken stock

Make a chicken stock with onion, carrot and extra thyme; clarify it by simmering very slowly with egg whites beaten in, let the particles sink as it cools, separate the clear consomme and chill it.
  • radishes
  • tomatoes
  • chives
  • chopped red onion
  • shredded cabbage
  • cilantro
  • habanero
  • salt
For the dzik, combine shredded achiote chicken (traditionally venison) with julienned radish, chopped tomato, chives, chopped red onion, shredded cabbage, finely chopped cilantro and habanero; season with a pinch of salt and a little lima juice just before serving and toss.
Pinch about a tablespoon of dzik into a mound in the middle of each panucho.
Strain lima juice into the consomme just before serving and stir.
  • 1 section lima
Set one lima section in the centre of each bowl, ladle the chilled soup around it, float a panucho on top and finish with a wedge of lima.
