Sorry for not having posted in over a month, we moved and the kitchen was one of the first things we packed since we knew it was going to be the hardest, and conversely, the same when we moved in the new place, it was the last thing we UNpacked out of sheer fear.
But, I am glad to announce, that after 3 weeks, the kitchen is finally unpacked and we cooked our first meal last night!!! (we did not take pictures, now…gotta find the camera…..haha)
Here is what we had:
We made a few adjustments like instead of ketchup, we used canned tomato puree and we left out the cucumber… I think that’s it.
The entree was Fish Tacos with Mango, Onion and Cilantro Salsa. We used Tilapia and corn tortillas, yum. This was accompanied with Borracho Beans.
Again, we adjusted this recipe just slightly by using fresh onions and garlic, real bacon instead of packaged, and like many of the suggested comments, we let it all stew and simmer for about 4 hours. They ended up amazing, better than most restaurants’.
For dessert we cheated and ordered a Quatro Leches cake from La Duni.
And of course we could not leave out Troy’s Amazing Margaritas:
1 can frozen limeade
1 can (use same can) tequila
1/2 can of water
Splash of orange juice
1/2 can of orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau
1 -12oz. Mexican Beer – use light beer – XX Lager (Optional)
Serve over ice.
WE PROMISE TO HAVE A NEW POST WITH PICTURES AND AN ALTON BROWN RECIPE UP VERY VERY SOON. MAYBE EVEN THIS WEEK.
