A Unique & Yummy Salsa!

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 20:01:25 -0400

I am a a stickler for using fresh ingredients so when my boyfriend from 5 years ago made this up for the first time I cringed! Pardon me for saying so, but if I hadn't have been living with him I never would have eaten it! Hahahaha!!!! The boyfriend is long gone but this is the only salsa I'll eat! If you aren't used to cilantro it may take a few minutes to grow on you - it did me. Give it a chance though. It is seriously yummy!! -- posted by Lottidawe

Oaxacan Peanuts

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:14:23 -0500

These nuts improve with standing. The first time I put several in my mouth, I was left with a three alarm fire for hours! I've calmed these down quite a bit. This recipe was adapted from a 1972 Sunset cookbook. -- posted by Happy Harry #2

Jicama Y Ensalada Anaranjada Picante (Spicy Oranges & Jicama

Mon, 29 May 2006 20:38:07 -0400

I love sweet and spicy combinations and this fruit salad is one of those great pairings. Salad should chill for about 2 hours before serving so plan ahead. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Frijoles Charros Rapidos (Quick Cowboy Beans)

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 22:29:57 -0400

This is the second portion of making the Quick Cowboy Beans. The first portion, Frijoles de la Olla Tradicional Recipe # 222108 explains the Mexican way of cooking Pinto Beans. This is a quick version of the beans that are typically served in taquerias. They can be as smokey, spicy as you want, super satisfying version of the plain Jane brothy beans. -- posted by Witch Doctor

Frijoles De La Olla Tradicional (Home Cooked Beans)

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 23:27:20 -0400

This recipe is the first portion of making Frijoles Charros Rapidos (Quick Cowboy Beans)Recipe #221894. This is my version of cooking Pinto Beans. To Soak or Not: Mexican cooks dont soak beans because they know that throwing out the soaking liquid isnt good. It doesnt do much to make them more digestible and it makes the beans turn out pale in color and flavor. Variations: Cut 1 ½ to 2 pounds of boneless pork shoulder roast into 1 inch cubes. Spread on a baking sheet and slide close up under a hot broiler. In about 5 minutes, when the meat is brown, turn over and brown the other side. Transfer to a slow cooker or large pot. Prepare the recipe as described, with the addition of the meat. Serve in deep bowls with salsa, a salad and warm tortillas. -- posted by Witch Doctor

Elote (Mexican Corn-On-The-Cob)

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 23:13:23 -0400

Grilled corn on the cob is a popular street food throughout Mexico. Special carts equipped with charcoal burners, a small wash tub, and condiment jars are peddled (literally) throughout the neighborhoods with the vendors shouting "Elotes" Some of the best corn-on-the-cob I have eaten! -- posted by Witch Doctor

Red Chile-Tomato Sauce - Vegetarian

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:33:06 -0400

I do not remember where this recipe originated, but I have been making it for about a year now and have found several applications for it. I love it for enchiladas! It is also great to pour a little in a bowl and fresh chopped tomato, avocado and black beans to use as a dip for tortilla chips. TO MAKE VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY, USE VEGETABLE STOCK. -- posted by Humble Bee

Shrimp Enchiladas With Mole

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:19:23 -0400

Another great recipe from Grill It! with Bobby Flay.Prepared in full on the grill, this is a great party recipe to impress your friends! The favors are robust and very different from any enchilada experience I have had. The thing that I like is best is that in its presentation, the warm enchiladas lay under a fresh, cold salad that is simply gorgeous. -- posted by Humble Bee

Grilled Bananas: Platanos Asados

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:20:00 -0400

One of our favorite quick desserts from Grill It! with Bobby Flay. This is a great way to use up over ripened bananas. The fresh, naturally sweet flavor of the bananas is intensified by the grilling and the cinnamon really makes this recipe a winner. -- posted by Humble Bee

Mole Poblano Classico -- Classic Mexican Poblano Sauce

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:54:45 -0500

Mole is a rich, dark, reddish-brown and smooth sauce made spicy and robust with a depth of flavor from a creative blend of seasonings that most often includes dried chiles, onion, garlic, and ground seeds (such as sesame or pumpkin (pepitas). But its best-known ingredient is unsweetened Mexican chocolate, which is used sparingly. Mole poblano is the sauce most commonly known outside of Mexico as mole sauce, although there are many different types. Courtesy of the Whole Chile Pepper Book, this classic Mexican sauce is excellent with poultry; serve it over a turkey or chicken breast. It is also terrific as a sauce over shredded chicken or turkey enchiladas. -- posted by Molly53
