Weights and Measures
Exploring Mexico's Kitchen with Rick Bayless - S2 - E20
When it comes to creating recipes, 'precision' is one of Rick's great talents. Fine-tuning your weighing and measuring skills, especially when baking, can help you perfect the cuisine you create in your home kitchen.
Exploring Mexico's Kitchen with Rick Bayless: Season 2 - 20 Episode s
2x1 - Arroz a la Tumbada
July 1, 2023
This brothy seafood and rice dish can accommodate pretty much anything from the sea you can think of adding to it. When looking to make a nice quick meal, this version of Arroz a la Tumbada is perfect for company.
2x2 - Chipotle Salsa
July 8, 2023
This is the rusty-colored red chile version of the green chile roasted tomatillo salsa, minus the cilantro. When Frontera Foods opened 25 years ago, this was one of the five iconic salsas on the menu, and ever since, sales have soared.
2x3 - Enfrijoladas
July 15, 2023
A plate of these addictive enfrijoladas served with a big salad and cold beer, or fruity red wine, makes for a delicious lunch or supper.
2x4 - Golden Eggplant Torta
July 22, 2023
Rick takes the ubiquitous, soul-satisfying, Torta de Milanesa found throughout Mexico, and swaps out the meat for golden-crusted eggplant, then adds fresh goat cheese, fresh greens, a spoonful of smoky chipotle salsa, and cheese garnish.
2x5 - Knife Sharpening: Honing Steel
July 29, 2023
One of the most essential tools in any home kitchen is a honing steel knife sharpener. Here, Rick demystifies the process so you can get in the habit of keeping your knives ready.
2x6 - A Tour of My Home Kitchen
August 5, 2023
Rick gives you a quick tour of his home kitchen, including some custom-built features he added that add to his ability to entertain guests. Plus, he will offer one key tip for designing your kitchen for maximum efficiency.
2x7 - Machacado con Huevo
August 12, 2023
Rick Bayless introduces you to your new favorite breakfast. Ingredients-wise, he encourages you to buy carne seca that has already been pounded/milled from a Mexican grocery, or Online.
2x8 - Molcajete Care
August 19, 2023
Invest a little time (and elbow grease) now to set yourself up for success later, by taking good car of your molcajete.
2x9 - Using a Molcajete
August 26, 2023
Molcajetes are for more than presenting your guacamole creations. Crushing rock against rock will bring out flavors and aromas that you will never achieve in a blender. Does it require more elbow grease? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
2x10 - My Knife Roll
September 2, 2023
Hitting the road? Be ready to cook anywhere with a well-stocked knife roll. Here, Rick reveals his essentials.
2x11 - Oaxacan Piedrazo Salad
September 9, 2023
In Spanish, a piedrazo translates to a "blow given with a stone," so the name itself serves as a warning. In this Spanish dish, 'the rock' is the chunk of hard bread, while the vinegar, chile, and salt are 'the blow' to your senses.
2x12 - Potato-Chorizo Tacos
September 16, 2023
These tacos are down-right delicious. And you can make them in a flash. The best versions of these tacos that Rick has ever tasted are from street vendors, where they have the potato-chorizo mixture browning on the side of the griddle.
2x13 - Queso Fundido
September 23, 2023
Queso fundido is, literally, melted cheese. That is, cheese put into an earthenware dish and melted beside, or over, a bed of coals. For this recipe, Rick took a page out of the fondue playbook and added a little beer to the mix.
2x14 - Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
September 30, 2023
Tomatillo salsa can be made in so many ways, and with varying proportions. Tomatillos are acidic and the process of roasting adds welcome sweetness. Plus, the bits of charred skin add a rustic gutsiness.
2x15 - Sikil Pak
October 7, 2023
The Mayan-named 'sikil pak' is a preparation that has been passed down for generations. Some cooks emphasize tomatoes in their mixture, but Rick prefers allowing the richness of the seeds to shine through. This dish is easy to love.
2x16 - Sopa Seca de Fideo
October 14, 2023
While Rick admits there is something thoroughly craveable about a traditional fideo seco dish, this version gives it a run for its money. That said, crispy chorizo, diced avocado, and anejo cheese would not be at all out of place here.
2x17 - Tinga Poblana
October 21, 2023
Rich in roasted tomatoes, browned meat, and smoky chipotle chiles, this is one of Rick's favorite dishes. In colonial Puebla, tinga is offered as a stew (what we will make here), a torta, and stuffing for masa turnovers.
2x18 - Torta de Elote
October 28, 2023
Due to its buttery richness, Rick always serves this dish warm from the oven, or after giving it some heat in the microwave or low oven. Serving it warm is the best way to thoroughly indulge in the torta's moist tenderness.
2x19 - Tuna Tostada
November 4, 2023
Whenever Rick arrives in Mexico City, he always makes a beeline straight to Contramar, Gabriela Camara's groundbreaking seafood restaurant, for a long, leisurely lunch that always includes the restaurant's famous Tuna Tostada.
2x20 - Weights and Measures
November 11, 2023
When it comes to creating recipes, 'precision' is one of Rick's great talents. Fine-tuning your weighing and measuring skills, especially when baking, can help you perfect the cuisine you create in your home kitchen.
