Belizean Escabeche Recipe

[@CookingwithShirani]

Escabeche is a soup eaten on Sundays and other special occasions in Belize. It's hot and spicy and typically eaten with corn tortillas.

[@olgladysdavila5201]

You’re the best!!! I’m a Nicaraguan who lived in Belize for 10 years and I always wanted to try to cook Belizean food! And with your videos I’ve tried so many bz food! Thank you!

[@CookingwithShirani]

Aww, that's so lovely to hear. Thank you very much!! I'm so glad I could help 😊❤.

[@wendychen9974]

I see you Olg! I’m here too to learn how to make belizean food haha!

[@betoen]

This is it? I ate escabeche so many times when I lived in Belize, and I saw it so complicated. And now I realize that it is so simple. Thanks a lot. And, well, brings back do many memories.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Me too, I always thought it was complicated until I learned to cook it myself and then realized it was so easy. Looking back I think the complicated part was finding a way to get some corn tortilla 😊.

[@TylerLauren.]

Grew up eating escabeche and got it from the tortilla factory in belize city often. Thank you for this ❤

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are welcome ❤️

[@nicolasperez2063]

Finally, I got the recipe from this delucious food. Was my favorito when I was in San Pedro. Thanks a lot.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You're welcome Nicolas! It's one of my favorites too. Enjoy 😊

@@CookingwithShirani my brother goes crazy with the onions he put up to 5 lbs and add spice seed .

[@CookingwithShirani]

@Julia Smith Wow! That's a lot of onions! I love it though, if it was up to me I would put 5 lbs too 😁

[@issmointx6320]

I enjoy your videos. Everyone prepares their food to their own preference using their own methods etc. As long as you’re happy with the end results, that is what matters most. Thanks for sharing your talent with others, there are many people who appreciate these videos, I for sure do, as I get tips and ideas from you especially with recipes I’ve never tried. So thank you! I’m from Belize and I love escabeche. I boil my chicken first in seasoning which include, Bay leaves, cloves, all spice, salt and a roasted head of garlic. I save the water for the soup. I then fry or bake the chicken. Prior to frying or baking chicken , I sprinkle season all on it. I use peanut oil for frying, or baste the chicken with butter for baking. To season the soup, in addition to the jalapeños, I also use Naranja agria ( sour orange), 1roasted habanero pepper. When the onion rings are cooked to my satisfaction, I add a dash of dry oregano and black pepper. I remove the head of garlic prior to serving. Some of my family members prefer it with corn tortillas and others prefer it with white rice. One Love!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome! Yes I agree, we all have our own way of preparing food. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. It sounds so delicious. Next time I make escabeche I'm going to try your recipe. Take care and God bless 🇧🇿❤

[@ChristineJonah88]

That looks really good. With the chicken all spiced up, I bet it would taste great to shred it and make tacos.

[@CookingwithShirani]

[@tiffanynicoleleslie6955]

I made this for lunch today and it came out perfect...a bit spicy but I love spicy (think it's due to the jalapenos bursting). Thank you once again Shirani 😊

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome Tiffany. I'm so glad you like it 🥰. Oh yes, if the jalapeños burst in the pot you are in trouble 😀

Thank you!

[@michellerenee8237]

Do you drain the jalapeño can? Or do you pour even the juices that come in it?

[@CookingwithShirani]

No I don't drain it. I pour everything that comes in the can in the pot.

[@karenlove9550]

Want to make for a Belizean coming to my house but can I use fresh carrots and jalapenos instead or,is not the same .any ideas?

[@CookingwithShirani]

You have to use the pickled jalapenos. It wouldn't be the same without that pickle, hot and sour flavor.

[@melissaoneal1687]

What kind of onion is used ? White or yellow ?

[@CookingwithShirani]

I used yellow. You can use white also, it doesn't matter.

[@jmore501]

Greetings, great video. Does it have to be chicken? Can I also use boneless chicken??

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you! Yes, it is always made with chicken. You can use any cut of the chicken you want but Belizeans like the bones 😁.

[@jmore501]

Thanks for the reply. Made it for me and my wife, she loved it. She thought is way a lil spicy but mission was accomplished and I'll rectify this on my next cook. 🙏🏾 GodBlessTheFam.

[@CookingwithShirani]

I'm so glad to hear you all loved it. Yeah that's the only complaint from my husband too that it's too spicy. God bless and stay safe.

[@sharonc4180]

Mmmm

[@geomossiah873]

The food was well prepared and look edible. But how the chicken was prepared is the only difference I noticed.. I preferred it roasted the old fashioned way. But good job..

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you! I like mine roasted too but I don't have a good way to roast it I only have an electric stove.
