Colours of Mexico

by JC

Mexico is a country very rich gastronomically, so it was hard to pick the ingredients that would make up this bento. I tried to add flavors to represent this diversity. For example I decided to make the sauce with "piloncillo" and guava because it reminds me of the typical fruit punch that we traditionally drink to the end of the year.

pork and shrimps for salty; strawberries, grapes and guava for sweet; mandarin and jamaica for acidity; dijon mutard for bitter.
