Chimol (also known as chirmol and chismol) is a common Central American cuisine or condiment topping on foods such as carne asada.
Preparation
Chimol is made of diced
tomato,
bell pepper,
Coriander, and
onion. It is seasoned with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and sometimes with vinegar too. It usually has a spice of some sort.
Modifications to the recipe exist depending on different regions of Central America.
Uses
It is tradition to cook the tomato at the same time as the carne asada, because this gives the carne asada a juicy taste. It is used as a sauce on carne asada, with salads, with pork and with chicken breast.
