Yucatecan Grilled Pork

Mon, 29 May 2006 21:27:31 -0400

In researching Yucatecan cooking I have found this is Mexican region with strong Mayan and European influence which translates into their food.

Margaritas and Shrimp All Around

Tue, 30 May 2006 14:02:14 -0400

First prepare the Margarita and put in the refrigerator to keep cold, then work on the shrimp. The recipe works best if you sample the margarita as you prepare the spicy shrimp. Be sure to leave at least a 1/4 cup for the shrimp or you will have to make more margaritas. Depending on how much you have sampled you may want someone else to tend to the grill. And, as always, don't skimp on the quality of tequila. Oh, and the shrimp is phenomenal! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Carne Asada Burgers

Tue, 30 May 2006 17:14:42 -0400

I saw Bergy had a recipe for Carne Asada Burgers, and while they weren't quite what I wanted, they inspired me to make up my own. We thought they were delicious! I am very much a cheeseburger person, but I didn't miss the cheese at all. In fact, I think it would not be as good with cheese as it was without it, except maybe pepper jack. Prep time includes marinading time. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

This is a Mayan recipe for an incredibly delicious "pulled pork" for tacos. We make this at the restaurant I work at, Ciudad D.F. in Dallas, but I actually like this recipe better. It comes from 'Tacos' The Santa Fe School of Cooking Series cookbook. Achiote paste and Banana leaves can be found in your local Hispanic Market. Trust me on this the Habaneroes only add flavor, there is no heat at all. If you want it spicy add more and leave the seeds in. Roasting them first also adds more spice. -- posted by Lust

Spicy butter adds instant flavour to grilled salmon. This is a clipping from a decade old magazine. **Edit June 24/07 - after reading some of the reviews I had to revisit this recipe and try it grilled and it IS so much better that way. Add a little bit of garlic powder and salt & pepper to it first then grill about 5 to 6 minutes per side (Depending on how thick it is) Thanks for the tips - this has made a good recipe great :) -- posted by Beautiful BC

Grilled Quail With Black Bean Torta and Poblano Sauce

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:21:15 -0400

Several years ago, I was an Associate Administrator for a hospital in South Texas, right on the border. It was more economical for me to lease a Ranchita across the border than to pay for an expensive apartment on this side. The place I leased was a former hunting and fishing lodge (complete with swimming pool, fine restaurant, etc). I retained the family that lived on the property as caretakers. The wife, Elise, was an excellent cook and we spent many an hour in the kitchen with her showing me how to cook authentic Mexican. She was originally from the Oachacan area and that was her specialty. The place had an over-abundance of white-wing dove, quail, javelina, wild boar, and the inevitable rabbits. Juan, the caretaker, also raised a few head of cattle. He also had a quite large garden. So we seldom had to go shopping for food. Elise knew that one of my favorite dishes was quail. So she came up with this dish. -- posted by Witch Doctor

The meat needs to marinate from 4 hours up to 1 day. From Bon Appetit May 2008.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Blackened Corn Salad

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:44:28 -0400

I found this in Sam the Cooking Guys's cookbook called 'just a bunch of recipes'. I needed to use up a bounty of corn purchased at a farm stand. I tweaked it to our tastes, of course. The original recipe called for 1/2 to 1 tsp. of cayenne pepper (way too much for my husband's taste)_so I used 1/4 tsp. The original called for the juice of 1 lime, which I would have been happy to use but, I lacked a lime so I used 2 T. of bottled lime juice. Also, the original called for crumbled goat cheese but I used what I had on hand....a Mexican (Cacique) Cotija Queso Seca cheese that crumbles. I think you could use any crumbly type cheese but I would stay away from really strong flavored ones, such as blue or roquefort. The Cacique was perfect for our tastes, just right! I'm posting the recipe with my changes. Oh, also, if you don't like cilantro, please don't try this recipe because, in my taste buds, the fresh cilantro really makes this dish. This is a wonderful, colorful side dish. My daughter said it looked like the Mexican flag! -- posted by Hey Jude

Santa Rosalia Style Hot Dogs

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:00:05 -0400

Santa Rosalia is a small Mexican mining town located on the coast of the Sea of Cortez (Baja Side). Their claim to fame is a church built by Gustave Eiffel and their hot dogs! At dusk every night, a street cart parks across from the church and sets up for business. Their hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and served on a slightly sweet bun, with a 'sea' of condiments to choose from. They are, by far, the best hot dogs I've ever eaten! NOTE: So far I've not been successful in replicating their buns, but this recipe is still wonderful with a high quality store bought buns (such as Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Buns) or Recipe #318739 ! UPDATE: I've been making them on a griddle on the stove top and it works great. Serve with Recipe #171577 UPDATE: Found that these can be made very successfully on a griddle on the stove top! -- posted by Galley Wench

Ensalada De Nopales Y Camarones - Cactus and Shrimp Salad

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:44:49 -0400

Cactus is a common and tasty food item in Mexico and parts of SW USA. Cactus, or NOPALES as they are known in Texas and Mexico, can be found fresh and needle free in the produce section. You can even find jars of Nopales or Nopalitos (little (pieces of) Nopales) in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store. If you choose to use those please drain them and rinse them well. Green Beans or chayote can be substituted if cactus is not available. The nutritional info here is not correct as the olive oil is used for coating the items you are grilling and in the dressing. Not all of it is consumed. This recipe is from La Comida Del Barrio (meaning Foods from the neighborhood) Latin American Cooking in the U.S., by Aaron Sanchez (Clarkson Potter, 2003) This dish would be wonderful with any Mexican cerveza (beer) or with a crisp and fruity Sauvignon Blanc. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Pork Adobada Chile - Marinated Pork

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:54:10 -0400

The flavor of this meat is out of this work. I dice up the cooked tenderloin and serve it on fresh corn tortillas with guacamole, diced onions and cilantro, and spicy salsa. Great for warm summer days sitting out in the backyard! -- posted by Tiny_Toodles

Mangoes Foster With Creme Fraiche (By Bobby Flay)

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:07:46 -0400

I first saw Bobby Flay prepare this on the Food Network in 2007. It was a featured recipe during a segment called "Boy Meets Grill" in the episode called Dinner on the Grill. It looked so good so I just had to try it. It was an immediate hit with my family. I have made this on the grill (as Bobby Flay prepared it) as well as on my stovetop, and it comes out fantastic each time. -- posted by NorthwestGal

Mexican Grilled Steak

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:21:51 -0400

I got this recipe out of a small low calorie cookbook which I no longer have and don't remember the name of. This is a pretty simple recipe, that's low in calories and has good flavor. If you want you can add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to make this a spicy dish because otherwise it is not. -- posted by Queen Dana

Spicy Mexican Lamb Kebabs

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:10:55 -0400

Many Mexican recipes start with a paste made with various rehydrated dried chiles, onion and fruit juices. Here a paste is used as a spicy marinade to flavor tender chunks of lamb. The hearty taste of red meat and the spicy heat of chiles creat the perfect marriage. For a smoky heat, try chipotle chiles. For over-the-top heat, use scotch bonnet chiles. For a nice bit of spice without a lot of burn, experiement with jalapeno or serrano chiles. Serve the lamb rolled in warm tortillas accompanied by the traditional beans and rice. Try the paste on chicken, beef or pork, too. Time does not include marinating time. -- posted by Crafty Lady 13
