Hello everybody, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a special dish, kelaguen. It is one of my favorites. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Kelaguen is a Chamorro dish from the Mariana Islands eaten as a side dish or as a main course. Similar to ceviche, a pickling marinade of lemon juice, fresh coconut, green onions, salt and spicy hot peppers or donni' is used to marinate cooked chicken, raw shrimp, fish or beef meat/liver. With the exception of the cooked chicken, the acids in the marinade "cook" the raw shrimp, fish or beef.
Kelaguen is one of the most favored of current trending meals on earth. It is appreciated by millions daily. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look wonderful. Kelaguen is something which I’ve loved my entire life.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook kelaguen using 7 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Kelaguen:
- Take 1 large chopped white onion
- Get 2 large chopped or sliced jalepeno
- Prepare 2 tbsp red pepper flakes or red thai chili peppers chopped
- Get 2 lb flank steak
- Take 1 quart lemon juice, lime works fine. you wont use all of the lemon juice unless making a big bowl
- Make ready 2 cup white rice
- Take 3 tbsp soy sauce
This version is more work than my other one, but is richer in flavor, in my opinion. Be careful with the hot peppers! Vegetarians and vegans avert your eyes! Kelaguen is a carnivore's delight, and may cause squeamishness in those with different lifestyles.
Steps to make Kelaguen:
- In a non reactive bowl add all yoir chopped peppers, onion and set aside
- Wash your raw flank steak and cut against the grain small strips or small chunks. Does not have to be perfect. Be sure to discard the fat. That does not break down at all.
- When finished cutting your flank steak, put it in the bowl. Pour in your lemon or lime juice if you cant find lemon. You want the lemon juiceto come just over your meat. Add your soy sauce as well and mix.
- Put aluminum foil over the bowl and let set out for 20 mins on table or counter. Then place in the fridge for 2 hrs or longer.
- Flash boil your rice, then let to low heat and put a plate or lid on the keep the rice cooking. Check on it once to fluff up the rice. Keep on low heat
- Serve your keleguen over warm rice. It is also good with mashed potatoes. I have hadkt this way and enjoy it. Must be plain potatoes. Serve and enjoy. Just be ware it can be pretty hot, but its so delish. Give it a go.
Kelaguen (ke-la-gwen, also spelled as kelaquin and keliguen though I believe that the first spelling is correct) is a traditional dish of the Chamorro Peoples of the Marianna Islands. Kelaguen is a method of cooking whereby the marinade cooks the meat, much. Kelaguen's popularity is evidenced when it is served as an appetizer or as part of the salad bar in several restaurants throughout the island whether or not they specialize in local food. One Chamorro family is known for preparing chicken kelaguen wrapped in taco-shell shaped titiyas (a Mexican tortilla) and selling them at local mom and pop. Kelaguen and Titiyas ~ both staples on a Chamorro fiesta table.
