THE CURIOUS ORIGIN OF THE SOLDADERA STEAK
Alfonso Sánchez García tells, in his book El Pluje del Mosco, that the soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution used to prepare for the guerrillas a plate of steaks bathed in pasilla pepper and accompanied by beans. This dish became popular and a whole tradition, which was baptized as soldadera steak.
In fact, from this dish the expression “kitchens like soldadera” arose, which means to use pasilla chili in meals on a recurring basis.
