Hojaldra de Pavo Alcaparado
Butter Layered Pastry with Turkey & Capers Filing
An extremely popular baked appetizer, that blends Yucatan’s love for European puff layered pastries with a unique filling of turkey, capers, spices and peppers. Garnished with brown raw sugar, a twist of lime, and cherry sauce on a bed of sea grapes. Served at room temperature.

An elegant Yucatecan dish. Hollowed-out baby acorn squashes are filled with a mixture of chopped almonds, ground pork, raisins, sweet basil, red peppers and spices. They are served on a half-moon bed of warmed tomato sauce and a white herb sauce. These squashes make colorful edible containers full of color, taste, and texture. Prepared a day in advance to fully blend and enrich their aromatic flavors.

Chuletas de Puerco en Miel de Chipotle
Tender Pork Chops with Chipotle Honey Sauce
Yucatan is known for its rich and delicious wild organic honey. This recipe, created especially for the Hotel Hacienda Chichen, perfectly blends the flavors of tender-smoked pork chops with the taste of Chipotle chilies aged in such honey. The pork chops are garnished with Chipotle chilies and are served with brown wild rice, onions, wild mint and roasted sunflower seeds.
