Strawberry Pate de Fruit Recipe with Rhubarb

Instead of coating his pâte de fruit with plain white sugar, Bay Area pastry chef William Werner flavors Demerara sugar with Clément Créole Shrubb, a liqueur made of aged and white rhum agricole and bitter orange peels.

Featured in: “Our Best Strawberry Recipes Let the Fruit Shine Like Never Before.”

Makes: 16–18
Time: 5 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups raw sugar, such as demerara or turbinado
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped and pod reserved
  • 1 oz. Clément Créole Shrubb or Cointreau
  • 3 cups sugar, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. pectin
  • Vegetable oil, for greasing
  • 12 oz. rhubarb (2 medium stalks), cleaned and coarsely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. light corn syrup
  • 7 oz. strawberries, hulled
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 200°F. In a small bowl, rub the vanilla seeds into the raw sugar until incorporated. Pour in the Shrubb and stir to combine. Using a silicone spatula, spread the sugar mixture in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake with the oven door slightly ajar until dried, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, use your hands to crumble; set aside.
  2. Oil an 8-by-8-inch baking pan and line with parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together the pectin and ¼ cup of the sugar; set aside.
  3. To a medium pot set over medium-high heat, add the vanilla pod, rhubarb, and 1 cup of the sugar and cook until the rhubarb is soft, 8–10 minutes; set aside to cool, about 45 minutes.
  4. Discard the vanilla pod and transfer the rhubarb mixture to a blender (do not clean the pot). Add the corn syrup and strawberries and purée, then pour back into the pot and turn the heat to high. When the liquid boils, whisk in the pectin mixture and cook, stirring continuously, until dissolved, 1–2 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup of the sugar and cook, stirring continuously, until dissolved, 1–2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sugar, then continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and a thermometer reads 175°F, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the lemon juice, then pour into the prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature until set, about 4 hours.
  5. To serve, cut the pâte de fruit into 1-inch squares and sprinkle with the reserved Shrubb sugar. (Pâte de fruit will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.)

Lime juice adds zing to this simple crudo from Uruguayan-born chef Ignacio Mattos. Assemble it right before serving, so the juice doesn’t cook the fish. Mattos uses sea bass, but snapper also works well. Check out our favorite raw fish recipes featuring crudo, sashimi, ceviche, and even poké.

Silvestre Valencia, former owner of Viva Taco Bus in Turlock, California, adds jalapeño pickling liquid to the pork braise, which tenderizes the meat and keeps it from drying out. Looking for more taqueria traditions? Check out 16 of our favorite taco recipes, here.

Featured in: “On the California Taco Trail.”

Makes: serves 8-10
Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Carnitas:

  • 3 tbsp. lard or vegetable oil
  • 3 lb. skinless bone-in pork shoulder, cut into 3-in. pieces (have your butcher do this)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • <sup>3</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub> cup whole milk
  • 8 cloves garlic cloves, peeled and smashed with the heel of a knife
  • 6 jalapeño pickling liquid, from above
  • <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>3</sub> cup jalapeño pickling liquid, from above
  • 1 large white onion, coarsely chopped
  • <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub> cup fresh lime juice
  • <sup>2</sup>⁄<sub>3</sub> cup fresh orange juice

For the Salsa:

  • 6 tomatillos, husked and cored
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 plum tomatoes, cored
  • 1 canned or jarred whole pickled jalapeño, stemmed
  • 3 tbsp. jalapeño pickling liquid, from above, plus more for serving
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Warm corn tortillas
  • Coarsely chopped cilantro
  • Thinly sliced radishes
  • Orange wedges

Instructions

  1. Make the carnitas: In a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, melt the lard. Season the pork generously with salt. When the lard is hot and shimmering, add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10–12 minutes. Add the milk, garlic, jalapeños, pickling liquid, onion, and lime and orange juices. When the liquid boils, turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the pork is tender, about 2 hours. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  2. When the pork is cool enough to handle, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a cutting board, then chop it into ¼-inch chunks. Strain the liquid into a bowl, then pour it back into the empty Dutch oven. Add the pork to the liquid and turn the heat to medium. When the liquid boils, scrape the carnitas into a warmed serving dish and cover tightly with foil. Clean the Dutch oven and return it to the stove.
  3. Make the salsa: In the empty Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, char the tomatillos, garlic, and tomatoes, turning occasionally, until blackened all over, 12–15 minutes, then transfer to a blender. Add the jalapeño, pickling liquid, and salt to taste, then purée.
  4. To serve, top the tortillas with the carnitas, spoon each taco with salsa, and garnish with cilantro and radishes. Accompany with more pickled jalapeños and orange wedges on the side.

Long before she owned a driver’s license or a restaurant—Kin Khao in San Francisco—Pim Techamuanvivit was a connoisseur of Thailand’s best roadside treats. This grilled squid dish, covered in a tangy sauce and topped with peanuts and cilantro, is one of her favorites.

Makes: serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • 10 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 6 green birds eye chiles, stemmed, seeds removed, and roughly chopped
  • <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub> cup palm sugar

  • <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub> cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 lb. squid tubes and tentacles, cleaned
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • Chopped peanuts, for garnish
  • Roughly chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine garlic and chilies in a mortar and pestle and pound until it forms a paste; add sugar and grind until sugar has dissolved. Add fish sauce and lime juice and stir to combine. Set sauce aside. Working with one squid at a time, make 1″ cuts on squid tubes about halfway through; season with salt and pepper. Heat a charcoal grill or set a gas grill to medium-high. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Brush squid with oil and, using a grill press, cook, until charred and cooked, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with sauce; sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

This version of horchata, the classic Mexican rice-based drink, which writer Sara Deseran adapted from one served at Fresno’s El Mercado Super, is made with a mix of coconut milk and coconut water for a beverage that is both luxurious and refreshing.

Featured in: “On the California Taco Trail.”

Makes: serves 4
Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 cinnamon stick, crushed, plus 4 sticks for garnish
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut water
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • ⅔ cups sugar

Pib is the Mayan word for the type of traditional oven—little more than a hole filled with heated stones, on top of which leaf-wrapped meats are cooked—that was once prevalent in the Yucatán. This pibil recipe, inspired by one used at Chando’s in Sacramento and prepared in a Dutch oven, pops with earthy achiote paste and citrus juices, yielding a luscious, spicy pulled pork.

Featured in: On the California Taco Trail
Featured in: 16 Things to Cook in 2016

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>3</sub> cups white vinegar

Strain marinade through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; add pork and toss to combine. Line the bottom of a 6-qt. Dutch oven with banana leaves, letting the excess hang over the side of the pot. Add pork and its marinade; fold leaves over pork and place lid on pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until pork is tender, about 2 1⁄2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, stir water and onion in a bowl; let sit 3 minutes and drain. Stir in remaining vinegar, 2 tsp. salt, the garlic, habaneros, and bay leaf; cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
  3. Unwrap and transfer pork to a cutting board; shred into bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. Stir in 1 cup cooking liquid from the pot. To serve, divide pork between tortillas; top with pickled onion mixture, the cilantro, and radishes. Serve with lime wedges.
