ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA - We’re in the historical city of Antigua Guatemala in Guatemala, Central America, and today we’re meeting up with Rebecca to cook and eat a dish called Kak'ik - one of the best Mayan Guatemalan foods!

Actually just outside of Antigua, we drove out to Santa Ana, Guatemala and specifically to Maya-iz where they are aiming to preserve their Mayan traditions and culture through food. We met up with Rebecca d Leon from Kukul Tales who shares a passion for food and culture.

We immediately got started cooking the Kak'ik, using a whole live turkey, then roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a variety of chilies, Everyone was roasted and toasted, then ground into a puree and combined in a huge ceramic pot with the turkey. The flavors started to brew and blend, and they kept adding more herbs and culantro to the soup to make it well balanced, herbaceous and healthy.

I loved seeing the entire cooking process. Along with the kak’ik, they also made some of the best tamales I’ve ever had - they were so juicy and moist with the right amount of meat filling and olives on the inside. We also tried some sour dried fruit juice called chicha and a dish that included a variety of tripe stewed down until ultra tender.

But the ancient Mayan recipe for turkey soup kak’ik was the highlight, a truly well rounded blend of seasoning with nothing overpowering the flavor of the turkey. It was delicious!
