I recently stopped by Lupita East Restaurant, where KANKUN® TINGA signature dish has been included in the menu. During my visit, I met Marco Cuervo the Head Chef of Lupita restaurants, we had a great time talking about our MEXICAN heritage, and of course our passion for MEXICAN food. This is what Marco shared with me:
What do you think about the current trend of MEXICAN cuisine in London?
Marco: The offer of Mexican cuisine in London is fantastic. London is becoming a paradise for Mexican food lovers, it is shifting from a TEX-MEX to a more authentic cuisine. Great varieties of ingredients are now easy to obtain and this facilitates that us, chefs, can replicate recipes delivering almost same flavours than those served back home .
What is your passion?
Marco: Exploring different options, recipes and experimenting with flavours is part of my passion and my commitment to the Gastronomy of my country -Mexico-.
Why have you chosen KANKUN® CHIPOTLE for this dish?
Marco: I like the authenticity and flavours that KANKUN® CHIPOTLE HOT delivers. It is an excellent choice that put together the tradition of a Mexican family recipe – Rolando’s family- in a perfect blend with my own family recipes cooked in my Lupita restaurants.
Talk us through the dish…
Marco: one of the most traditional dishes in Mexican cuisine is Chicken Tinga; a special recipe, made with a generous amount of onion, scented herbs ( hierbas de olor), shredded chicken and the most important ingredient, Chile Chipotle, that gives main flavour to this versatile dish. This is a great starter that evokes my childhood and dishes cooked by grandma. At Lupita we served with slices of avocado and a dollop of KANKUN® CHIPOTLE SAUCE adding the final touch to our SIGNATURE DISH.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Lupita Restaurant, it offers a genuine taste of vibrant Mexican cuisine and warm Latin American hospitality provided by Lupita’s Head Chef Marco Cuervo and its team.
Amigos next time you pop in at Lupita Restaurant order KANKUN® TINGA DISH, I promise it will transport you to MEXICO.
