Ajiaco Colombiano (Colombian Ajiaco): A Colombian recipe for a soup of chicken and maize ears with potatoes and chillies that's finished with cream and capers.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
4 ears of maize (corn)
1kg golden-fleshed potatoes (traditionally the local wild potatoes [papa criolla] are used)
gusaca chillies, to taste
double cream, to taste
capers, to taste
salt, to taste
Method:
Halve the maize ears lengthways and place in a large pot with the chicken. Pour over 2l water, season to taste with salt then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover the pot and cook for about 60 minutes, or until the ingredients are tender.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to keep warm. Add the potatoes (peeled and sliced) to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender and the stock has thickened. Season to taste with hot chillies, cook for 5 minutes then shred the chicken and add the meat to the pot.
