My first experience with the ingenuity of Mexicans was during our year of volunteer work in Villahermosa in the state of Tabasco. We were driving a Chevy Nova and it was usually pretty reliable for us. However, Mexican gas disagreed with it and I soon has some trouble with the carburator.

A friend of mine who worked in the hospital laboratory took me to a nearby repair shop and helped me get a mechanic to help me out. He followed us back to the hospital and pulled the carburator out of my car. He then headed back to his shop.

Having heard that it was best to keep a close eye on anyone working on your car, I followed him. Over the next half hour, I watched him completely disassemble the carburator, clean it with solvent, hand make new gaskets and put it back in my car. The car then ran like new.

So, within a half hour, I had a rebuilt carburator back in my car. I was pretty impressed. I was even more impressed when he said, "Sorry it took so long, but I have never worked on a Chevrolet before."

A professor from one of the Universities in Texas had a similar experience. He taught Mexican archeology and often toured remote areas in a jeep.We met him when we were camped on the beach on one of our trips to Tulum.

He told us that one time he was traveling up in the mountains in a remote area north of Mexico City. The road was pretty rough and he hit a rock. The rock totally destroyed his oil pan. Without the oil pan, the jeep was useless and he could go nowhere.

After waiting about 4 hours a farmer came by with a mule and was able to pull the jeep into a town a few miles away.

Now every little town in mexico has a small mechanic shop that is a combination repair, tire retread and blacksmith shop. He went over there and explained his problem. After asking if the shop owner could order him a new oilpan and install it, the mechanic replied, "Sure, no problem. It should be here within a couple of months."

He questioned the mechanic if there was any other solution. The Mexican replied, "Come back in three days."

So, the professor found a lady that would put him up for a few nights. He then got a chair in the yard and watched what the mechanic did. He watched with interest as the owner went to each house in the village and collected any scrap metal or tin cans that they had.

The mechanic then went back to his shop and started working the metal. Over the next few days, he melted the metal down and poured it out forming a sheet of metal. He then pounded it and cut it into the proper shape, made a gasket and fitted it onto the bottom of the jeep.

The professor then told me that he drove the jeep on many trips after that and the handmade oil pan never leaked a drop!

As you can imagine, I have the highest regard for these underrated Mexican mechanics. While caution is always in order dealing with anyone working on your car, you should be able to find someone with excellent skills to work on any vehicle that has problems while driving in Mexico.

Chicken Pepperoni - Aurora's recipe

 

Remember the movie Seems Like Old Times with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn? The Governor is invited over for his favorite dinner, chicken pepperoni, made by the maid, Aurora. But Aurora has to have her feet scrapped and cannot be there to cook the meal. That's when the fun starts. After I saw the movie, I had to try the dish and over the years I have hopefully improved on the original recipe I found. See what you think of my chicken pepperoni.

 

Ingredients (6 servings):

• 3 tablespoons – extra virgin olive oil
• 1 – large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves – garlic, minced
• 1 28-ounce can – diced tomatoes (I like Hunt's brand)
• 1 6-ounce can – tomato paste (Hunt's brand preferably)
• 8 ounces – button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons – fresh basil, chopped
• 9 ounce – pepperoni stick (remove cover around the pepperoni if it has one) cut into 1/4–inch slices and then quarter the slices (see photo 2)
• 1/3 cup – all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon – fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon – salt
• 1 teaspoon – pepper
• 2 pounds – skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into ½-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons – extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup – white wine (e.g., chardonnay)
• 1 pound – pasta (I prefer rotini noodles for this dish)

 

Preparation:

Heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, mushrooms, and basil and simmer over low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes (mix well). Set aside.

Tomato sauce

Meanwhile, place the pepperoni in another smaller frying pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes to cook the fat off. With a slotted spoon, remove the pepperoni and add it to the sauce. Discard the oil.

For health reasons, I like to cook off the oil in the pepperoni.

Add the flour to a small bowl along with the oregano, salt, and pepper and mix. Add the chicken to the flour mixture to coat. Add any remaining flour mixture directly to the sauce.

Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat and brown the chicken, about 15 minutes. Add the white wine to the chicken and cook off the alcohol, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and pepperoni to the chicken and wine, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Stir periodically

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water for about 10 minutes.

Spoon the sauce over individual servings of the pasta. Enjoy!
