Mexico: One Plate at a Time 11×11 – Dreaming of Sustainable Agriculture
Mexico: One Plate at a Time
Chef Pedro Abascal is changing tourist’s perceptions of the food in Riviera Maya, using local farms to supply his hip hotel restaurants. Rick and Pedro discuss his challenges and successes of his approach over a traditional Yucatecan meal at Faison y Venado. Rick pays a visit to a lamb farm in Tizimín for a conversation with a rancher, then heads to C-Grill, Pedro’s hip restaurant on the shores of Playa del Carmen, where he makes a beautiful roasted lamb in adobo. In Chicago, Rick heads to the outdoor Green City Market to gather ingredients for his grilled leg of lamb with green garlic mojo and camote mash, along with grilled asparagus with pasilla crema. Oh, and an incredibly delicious skillet cake.
