We got to know this amazing family from Honduras because our kids were in the same class. Their oldest son served mission in Taiwan. Then, we decided to do a Chinese Celebration together…..
我們認識這個從宏都拉斯的家庭是因為我們的小孩是同班同學，他們家的大兒子剛好之前去台灣傳教，所以我們討論一起慶祝春節～
I brought the ingredients to make dumplings to their home….Then we all make dumplings together. It was a fun and fast process to wrap up dumplings with so many helpers! Even missionaries who were visiting their family got to learn how to make dumplings too!
我準備了做餃子的材料到他們家。然後教他們一起包餃子！因為有很多的幫手，所以動作特別快，一下就包完了！大家也很開心可以一起學包餃子。剛好晚上他們邀請傳教士一起來家裡吃晚餐，所以傳教士們也一起體驗包餃子！
So, my friend made this amazing Honduran dish called Marmahon (its in Spanish). It tasted like lightly seasoned curry chicken rice….but it is actually little pastas. They told me that the dish was Arabic inspired Honduran dish. There were a tribe of Arabic people migrated to Honduras a long time ago. Even the Arabic language is not using in Honduras now, the flavorful dish has kept going still. My kids LOVE this dish….so I begged my friend to share her secret recipe! lol! So, I hope you all enjoy it too!
除了吃餃子，我朋友也做了一道宏都拉斯的菜～叫做馬拉馬甕（西班牙文發音）吃起來的感覺像微微咖哩味道的雞肉蔬菜飯，但是其實是小小一粒一粒的麵。他們跟我說因為早期有一些阿拉伯人搬移到宏都拉斯居住，所以這道菜是他們流傳下來的！也許阿拉伯語言已經不會說了，但是味道繼續保留下來了！我家小孩超級愛的！所以我拜託我的朋友分享她的獨家食譜～希望你們也可以試試看！

馬拉馬甕的材料與做法如下：
材料：
- 一磅（約0.45公斤）的煮熟雞肉絲 （還記得我之前說咖死扣賣的烤雞嗎？）
- 一磅 的小小一粒一粒的麵 （如上圖）
- 1/2量杯的奶油
- 1 1/2 杯切塊的紅蘿蔔
- 1 1/2杯切塊的彩椒 （紅色、綠色、黃色、橘色的彩椒)
- 1 杯切塊的西洋芹菜
- 1/2杯切小丁的洋蔥
- 5 粒蒜頭切末
- 5杯雞湯
- 鹽、黑胡椒粉、咖哩粉、A1牛排醬、番茄醬 調味
作法：
拿一個深一點的平底鍋，加熱融化奶油，加入一粒一粒小小的麵炒個三分鐘。加入切好的蔬菜進去再炒個三分鐘。加入調味和雞湯。把蓋子蓋上煮個15分鐘，要偶而攪拌一下。等小小的麵快要煮好還有一些湯汁的時候，加入雞肉絲。攪拌、蓋上蓋子，把火關掉讓它繼續悶個五分鐘！
