Puebla hot pot

Hot pot gaining steam

The hot pot offers a host of possibilities, as an interactive opportunity to explore a world of flavor. A simmering pot of soup stock serves as the centerpiece, while an array of raw meat, seafood and vegetables may be added and cooked at the table.

In a Puebla, Mexico-inspired hot pot, a chicken stock steeped with ancho chile, smoked paprika and spices may be served with chicken or pork, corn, avocado crema and fresh garnishes, while a West Indies hot pot may include spiced coconut milk broth with seafood, chile papaya pica sauce and plantain chips.
