Poleada

Cultural Context

Originating from El Salvador, Poleada is a beloved comfort food that showcases the country's rich culinary traditions. It combines tender chicken with a creamy sauce, often served with rice or tortillas, making it a staple for family gatherings and celebrations. Today, variations can be found across Central America, adapting to local tastes and ingredients, yet maintaining its essence as a hearty, satisfying dish.

6 servings
Servings4
2 L milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
sugar to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
yellow food coloring (gel or liquid)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Introduce 2 liters of milk into a large pot, reserving some for later.

2

Add a generous amount of cinnamon to the milk and place it on the stove over low heat to infuse the flavor.

3

Once the milk is boiling, reduce the heat to low and remove the cinnamon stick.

4

In a separate bowl, mix the reserved milk with the all-purpose flour until smooth to avoid lumps.

5

Slowly add the flour mixture to the boiling milk while stirring continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps.

6

Add sugar to taste while stirring the mixture.

7

Incorporate a pinch of salt (1/4 teaspoon) into the mixture.

8

Add a splash of vanilla extract (about 1/2 teaspoon) for flavor.

9

If desired, add yellow food coloring to achieve the traditional color of the poleada.

10

Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, which should be noticeable when it starts to bubble.

11

Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving or packaging.
