Carne Pollocko(polish meat-mexican style) Diet Soups

I am anxious to get the disc in the mail of the 500 photos I took in Mexico, so I can post photos showing my sill antics, like posing on 2000 year old pedastals...that once held an Astec GOd....in an area that has a bunch of small scale pyramids...and where once heads rolled, virgins sacrificed,.....silly people play.
WHen I was visiting some of Eddies family, two of them offered me a sandwhich of CARNE POLLOCKO. POLISH MEAT. Now, I just cant remember when the Polish conquered Mexico, and started their perogi plantations, and their recipes swept the land. But it seems, this dish, Carne Pollocko, is very popular down there. I was able to sort of get the recipe from a few people, and each one had their own way of doing it....and of course....once it got on this side of the RIO GRANDE, i had to change it a bit too.....
It is a salad, or spread...that can be served hot or cold on bread or tortillas.
You started out by boiling the hell out of chicken...till it is very overcooked and it just falls to shreds....You continue pulling it apart.I would boil it...that is the best way for it to fall apart!!!! Then you drain it and ad about equal parts of catsup and mayo (I used no fat mayo) You can use tomatoe past, a bit of vineagra,salt, and cinnamon, instead of catsup to make it much less caloric....
One recipe called for very fine grated onion,, (just a little for flavor( and very thin shredded cabbage...raw) mix it all together..and add hot sauce....let it sit in the fridge for a few hours for flavor to mix!!
Another recipe only differs in that you fry the onions and cabbage until limp and mix in.
My version: One of the above, preferably the 2nd. Then add one or more of the following: fresh well washed finely chopped cilantro, little chunks of Pineapple(over ripe is a must) Mango, capers, green olives stuffed with pimento, roasted red pepper, celery seeds. YOu can make it curried Carne Pollock, and mix the cultures of INDIA and Mexico..
The above recipe can be made into sandwhiches, hor'duerves, stuffed into an avocado, served in a hot potato....and i am sure, the creative cook will find more to do with it.
BUT WAIT!! Dont stop there, you can make it with Turkey, brisket of beef, tuna fish..you can even stuff a flouder fillet with one of the versions...YOu anc even make Crab Pollocko...fake crab meat--with all the stuff thrown in....
If you dont think it sounds veyr MEXICAN I AGREE WITH YOU..but I have never had this in anyplace else in the world, NOT EVEN IN POLAND... THEY PROBABLY CALL IT
MEXICAN MEAT SALAD. THERE IS SOME KIND OF SALAD THAT I ONLY FOUND IN BELGIUM, IT IS SALAD SALAD AMERICAIN' i SAW THAT IT HAD SOME KIND OF MEAT STUFF IN IT, CARROTS AND PEAS, AND IT WAS VERY WHITE..MAYBE HALF MAYO/???? IT DIDNT LOOK VERY GOOD, I DID TRY IT ONCE AND IT HAD ALMOST NO TASTE AT ALL...

DIET SOUP...FILLING AND VERY LOW IN CALORIES...START OUT WITH ONE PORTION: A CUP OF DICED TOAMTOES AND JUICE, EQUAL AMOUNT OF WATER....TABLESPOON OF TOMATOE PASTE(OR LESS) SALT TO TASE, HALF AN ENVELOPE OF SPLENDA, TEASPOON OR MORE OF CHOPPED OR DRY CILANTRO,TABLESPOON OF FINELY CHOPPED ONION,TABLE SPOON LEMON JUICE OR VINEGAR.A FEW DROPS OF TOBASCO OR OTHER HOT SAUCE......(this is the basic recipe) now for variations:
ADD one Tablespoon of Tostados Cheese sauce with Jalapinas for NACHOs
Variation 2) add a teaspoon of curry added to the onions, saute first, can add tablespoon of cooked rice

Variation Three: Add instead of water cup of pickle juice or saurkraut juice, but eliminate the salt... add chopped pickels and or saurkraut

Most of the above soups are no more than 25 to 50 calories for two cups of soup. and are very filling.. The least of all calorie soups is one I mentioned over a month ago. Cook a whole pot of soup using onions, and cabbage, a few tomatoes or can....salt pepper and garlic.....parsely, you can throw in a carrot or two...and some celery.....you can eat that all day long and will still loose weight. you have to cook that soup for hours...the above recipe is done in less than five min in a microwave.
