With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading
This is a savory option for our crêpes. It’s pretty much a chicken enchilada, but with crêpes, duh. The sauce is lovely and loaded with flavor. Even though it has heavy cream, using broth lightens the sauce. 
Chimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood. Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable! It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything. 
This is, at its heart, the shrimp bisque you’re familiar with. But I was feeling the Carnaval vibe, given the time of year, and the shrimp looked so tasty, so I decided to jazz up the regular old bisque with some Brazilian flavors. It worked. And The Spicy Honey loved it. Lent won’t be all about sacrifice, after all! 
Fresh chorizo is a good thing to know how to make. It makes great meatballs and patties, as well as an excellent stuffing for dates. 
We love ripe plantains, or as the Cubans call them, “maduros”. Which means, “ripe”. Go figure! Maduros are sweet, rich and just terrific with something savory. This was a true regional fusion and were astoundingly delicious. 
This is a really nice addition to your Sunday brunch or for this season, Thanksgiving day breakfast. We had a slice with some salad for a nice, light supper, and as a side with a bowl of Creamy Mushroom-Pumpkin Soup with Sherry. I think if might be good with gravy, as in biscuits and gravy…just a thought! 
It’s moving day! Finally, our things are arriving in Miami, so The Latin Lover will have a real life and wife, soon! The Goddess was bone-tired, dead on her feet, but we wanted to eat in. What’s easier than Stuffed Peppers? This, right here, is why she loves, loves, loves leftovers. 
I know this sounds a tad odd, but you’re going to have to trust me. It is delicious. First, I adore shrimp with pineapple, a citrus and some cilantro…it’s just a good combination. And there was this half can of black beans leftover from a salad, so I thought, “why not?” 
It’s just the two of us here, in the sun, with our feet up…yeah, right! So I thought I might just remind you of a few dishes from the past that may help make your Super Bowl Sunday Supper Spectacular…God, I just love alliteration! I guarantee these will be a touchdown in Flavor Town! If you were here in South Florida, you would head off to your favorite bakery, and you have so many great choices. They are everywhere and they sell both sweet and savory treats. Many also have tables or a counter where you can have a nice Cuban coffee and a special treat.
Anyway, you would head off to buy “bocaditos” or “little bites”, which are small, maybe 2-3 bite sandwiches, like the ones pictured above. The most popular, and The Latin Lover’s favorite…Cuban Ham Dip.
