Oaxacan Turkey Burgers With Chipotle Salsa

Wed, 25 Jan 2006 16:33:32 -0500

Although you will not find these turkey burgers at a local cantina in Oaxaca, I can vouch that they certainly did conjure up fond memories of the flavors in dishes I ate on some of my many journeys to Oaxaca. I could even imagine these burgers served at one of the open air markets concessions. I tip my hat once again to Steven Raichlen, my grilling hero, for yet another impressively creative and delicious burger. Minus some personal modifications to the recipe, this is the recipe that appeared in Burger. Make Ahead: The salsa makes about 2 cups and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 2 days. Beer Recommendation: A rich malty, roasty beer that absorbs the heat and provides a great counterpart to chipotles and grilled meat is a good choice to pair with these burgers. If you happen to find a Noche Buena, a great dark beer from Mexico, this would be my first choice. Second would be Negra Modelo, a slightly sweet brew with some fruitiness, it's malty for a Mexican beer and goes well with chipotles. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Grilled Skirt Steak With Onion-Cilantro Relish

Spicy marinades are well suited to hearty cuts of meat like skirt steaks. Take care not to marinate the steak too long, though, or the meat will be tough and stringy. The marinade is excellent with pork, lamb or chicken, too. Serve with fresh tortillas and refried beans -- posted by Witch Doctor

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

Rick Bayless' Mexican Paella With Shrimp, Mussels, and Chorizo

This was on Rick Bayless' show, Mexico: One plate at a time. I haven't tried it but it looked good, here for safe keeping. Serves 25-30, hoping I can cut it down a bit! -- posted by CookingLaura
