00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.314
Hi, I'm Anna Bude,
culinary Program Coordinator here at El

a208be13-dc8c-48b2-b6ff-bccda01a7558-1
00:00:03.314 --> 00:00:05.480
Paso's Mexican American Cultural Center.

0fa4b562-0732-4932-a28b-9ef62b6bcc8e-0
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.490
Hi, I'm Joaquin Madrid,
and I'm a social media intern here at the

0fa4b562-0732-4932-a28b-9ef62b6bcc8e-1
00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:09.680
Mac.

f4995c4e-06b4-4c32-b850-c42c21fafc9f-0
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.965
Today we're going to be exploring the
origins of chamoy and how it unites us

f4995c4e-06b4-4c32-b850-c42c21fafc9f-1
00:00:14.965 --> 00:00:19.200
with our Asian American neighbors during
this Lunar New Year season.

31e8267b-4761-4953-96d2-b34603c98590-0
00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:24.573
We're going to share today the recipe of
how you can make chamoy at home with a

31e8267b-4761-4953-96d2-b34603c98590-1
00:00:24.573 --> 00:00:27.640
few ingredients that you probably already
have in your pantry.

29d1d3d7-8215-4072-a188-0a35ef01c3ab-0
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:33.256
We have dried apricots, prunes, salt,
sugar and tahini,

29d1d3d7-8215-4072-a188-0a35ef01c3ab-1
00:00:33.256 --> 00:00:38.240
dried chilies and hamika and a little bit
of lime juice.

1d899ac9-68fa-4778-97b6-2a2ff2d106e0-0
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:40.320
Let's get started.

b704111b-1de8-4706-96ec-fc63f37168da-0
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:43.320
We're going to start with our dried
apricots and prunes.

507b0aec-cc80-446b-91dc-96cd759a12c7-0
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.070
We're going to give those a rough chop
and let those rehydrate and a little bit

507b0aec-cc80-446b-91dc-96cd759a12c7-1
00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:47.680
of hot water.

0eb5aa48-daaf-4411-8a21-ef3336069d2f-0
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:53.308
Believed to have been brought to Mexico
between the 16th and 19th century,

0eb5aa48-daaf-4411-8a21-ef3336069d2f-1
00:00:53.308 --> 00:00:57.705
chamoy was likely introduced to South
America through the Manila and Acapulco

0eb5aa48-daaf-4411-8a21-ef3336069d2f-2
00:00:57.705 --> 00:01:02.441
galleon trade that took place between the
Philippines and Mexico throughout much of

0eb5aa48-daaf-4411-8a21-ef3336069d2f-3
00:01:02.441 --> 00:01:03.400
this time period.

ce5eab46-258f-4b2d-ad23-c71c36977542-0
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.980
Today,
chamoy is enjoyed in a variety of

ce5eab46-258f-4b2d-ad23-c71c36977542-1
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.189
versions,
from the original Saladito introduced to

ce5eab46-258f-4b2d-ad23-c71c36977542-2
00:01:10.189 --> 00:01:13.209
Mexico,
to the liquid and paste version that we

ce5eab46-258f-4b2d-ad23-c71c36977542-3
00:01:13.209 --> 00:01:14.720
all know and love today.

b6965361-8cc4-4f18-be7c-db72b87f1f2d-0
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:20.000
So we're just going to cover that with a
little bit of water.

68d3d96c-6f2d-47a7-b97c-52de65fdec05-0
00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:23.674
While those rehydrate,
we're going to take off the stems and

68d3d96c-6f2d-47a7-b97c-52de65fdec05-1
00:01:23.674 --> 00:01:25.560
remove the seeds from our dried chilies.

cd71ddb8-c963-4217-a76f-d8708912016f-0
00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:30.753
Make sure you have your compost bowl
close by so you can just put it right

cd71ddb8-c963-4217-a76f-d8708912016f-1
00:01:30.753 --> 00:01:33.120
there and put it in your compost for
later.

e416229b-5370-403c-91fd-6f108e893fd1-0
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.271
And you are going to blend this,
so there's no need to be precise on your

e416229b-5370-403c-91fd-6f108e893fd1-1
00:01:39.271 --> 00:01:39.560
cuts.

ad2f17a4-86c0-4fcc-a905-1751d8b6f1f1-0
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.829
You just want it to be in smaller pieces
so that way it doesn't take as long to

ad2f17a4-86c0-4fcc-a905-1751d8b6f1f1-1
00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:45.320
hydrate.

3b1efae0-26a7-4b77-a13c-f8610d9c5f7d-0
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:51.889
So now that the apricots and plums have
rehydrated a little bit,

3b1efae0-26a7-4b77-a13c-f8610d9c5f7d-1
00:01:51.889 --> 00:01:55.280
we're going to drain them from this
liquid.

18a4bb6e-6078-43c0-ba7f-a819afbec13a-0
00:01:56.080 --> 00:01:59.760
So we're going to transfer them into our
sauce pot.

5ae13646-b0ef-4d00-bdee-ee5c91ddbda4-0
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.689
Now we're going to add our chilies and
our Formica and we're going to cover that

5ae13646-b0ef-4d00-bdee-ee5c91ddbda4-1
00:02:07.689 --> 00:02:10.280
with a cup and a half of water.

e6a1de70-cb85-4b94-9350-3d4739fbea8d-0
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:17.403
We're going to let this steep for about 5
minutes once it comes to a boil,

e6a1de70-cb85-4b94-9350-3d4739fbea8d-1
00:02:17.403 --> 00:02:19.000
so we'll let that sit.

8746dd58-2da4-4fd0-946b-3a340a5b49de-0
00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:22.080
While that's going,
we'll go ahead and juice our limes.

af89d353-f3d4-486e-bfdd-cbdf808da01e-0
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.200
You want to use fresh limes for this
process.

a32d071b-24e8-4db4-8e46-31e6decdefcf-0
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.960
You want to roll it to get all the juices
moving.

565b953e-db9f-4eb3-843e-97e588a825b3-0
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:35.584
You use about two medium sized limes
depending on the amount of juice that

565b953e-db9f-4eb3-843e-97e588a825b3-1
00:02:35.584 --> 00:02:36.400
they provide.

73001aab-702b-41d9-9ad5-0494ea4bec23-0
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.240
So now you have your lime juice.

6cf71e9d-1f16-4252-85e8-daa3c4571f1a-0
00:02:39.880 --> 00:02:46.360
We're also going to need 1/2 cup of sugar,
some salt, and two tablespoons of tiki.

1e878eed-3bca-4c30-b41b-ded52de6c813-0
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:50.200
And you're going to get mix that up and
set it aside.

1de4c304-6af2-409f-a042-1aeaa4a39d9c-0
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:57.680
Now that our mixture has been boiling for
about 5 minutes,

1de4c304-6af2-409f-a042-1aeaa4a39d9c-1
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.351
we're going to transfer it to our blender
so that way it comes out of the hot pan

1de4c304-6af2-409f-a042-1aeaa4a39d9c-2
00:03:04.351 --> 00:03:07.280
and it can cool a little bit faster.

30d683f4-5f1a-4d4a-a043-229e68da41b9-0
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:14.320
You can either let this cool at room
temperature for probably about an hour.

dfdfd028-d42c-4f24-aaff-bbe9a640b3ab-0
00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:19.743
If you want to speed the process along,
you can put it in your fridge and stir it

dfdfd028-d42c-4f24-aaff-bbe9a640b3ab-1
00:03:19.743 --> 00:03:21.080
every 5 to 10 minutes.

6cd72207-94e6-4bc4-833e-abb71105bd38-0
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.160
That way it releases that heat that's
trapped in the middle.

9c6e5da0-bbde-4f00-b3ba-75939ca2021f-0
00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:30.804
Now that our mixture is fully cooled,
we're going to go ahead and add our lime

9c6e5da0-bbde-4f00-b3ba-75939ca2021f-1
00:03:30.804 --> 00:03:36.692
juice, our salt, sugar and tahin mixture,
and we're going to blend this on pie for

9c6e5da0-bbde-4f00-b3ba-75939ca2021f-2
00:03:36.692 --> 00:03:38.040
one to two minutes.

d412f60c-362a-4bef-afab-be39f66f560d-0
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.760
You should have a nice thick consistency
there with it.

45d545e4-a5fe-4e0b-8698-c726fe597052-0
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.900
If you want to make it a little bit
thinner,

45d545e4-a5fe-4e0b-8698-c726fe597052-1
00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:53.800
go ahead and add more water to that
mixture.

a20f5e2d-681a-492d-b259-5cd98f4a853b-0
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.681
You're going to take a mesh strainer and
you're going to strain to remove any

a20f5e2d-681a-492d-b259-5cd98f4a853b-1
00:04:00.681 --> 00:04:03.800
skins or excess dried fruit particles.

54d546d2-f38b-4bf1-8ffe-8515be6d7666-0
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.931
Make sure you scrape your blender to get
all that yummy chimoy sauce that you just

54d546d2-f38b-4bf1-8ffe-8515be6d7666-1
00:04:10.931 --> 00:04:11.440
made out.

dc0df102-effa-4dee-8ffa-8a0cf82ac473-0
00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:12.760
You don't want to leave any behind.

28778d70-992d-4d40-bc77-9a162929b1ad-0
00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:20.048
And then you're just going to take your
spoon or your spatula and you're going to

28778d70-992d-4d40-bc77-9a162929b1ad-1
00:04:20.048 --> 00:04:22.760
shimmy your sauce just to get it out.

461330f2-c47a-4c11-b802-fca89070b9b0-0
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.233
So once you get all of the sauce actually
through,

461330f2-c47a-4c11-b802-fca89070b9b0-1
00:04:27.233 --> 00:04:29.040
you left with a little bit of pulp.

b7544711-9003-49dd-bfa1-21f11325ac03-0
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.240
Just put that in your compost bin and
you're good to go.

5a1e47de-0be9-4fa6-9ad4-656d992b7535-0
00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:36.760
Now you have your homemade chamoy sauce.

ca23076e-5efd-43c8-98ec-e043c16743f3-0
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:38.400
Enjoy.

cac657a9-e579-4e57-bd88-f5ffe0be11dd-0
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.673
Here at The MACC,
we pride ourselves on bringing a detailed

cac657a9-e579-4e57-bd88-f5ffe0be11dd-1
00:04:43.673 --> 00:04:46.440
understanding of our shared history to
our community.

7b6f9ea0-dd41-447d-8c3b-cde7fde8d08b-0
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.261
Throughout the month of February,
The MACC,

7b6f9ea0-dd41-447d-8c3b-cde7fde8d08b-1
00:04:49.261 --> 00:04:51.744
in partnership with the El Paso Museum of
History,

7b6f9ea0-dd41-447d-8c3b-cde7fde8d08b-2
00:04:51.744 --> 00:04:55.589
we'll look to bring to you a range of
stories in preparation for this upcoming

7b6f9ea0-dd41-447d-8c3b-cde7fde8d08b-3
00:04:55.589 --> 00:04:56.319
Lunar New Year.

f0570a1e-b526-4cc7-9ecd-12a894fa0214-0
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.120
Join us February 28th for our Lunar New
Year celebration here at The MACC,

f0570a1e-b526-4cc7-9ecd-12a894fa0214-1
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.520
where you can pick up your sample of
Chamoy.
