This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3859.jpgI saw this on a Facebook page I follow.  It looked so delicious and we haven’t had chicken.  My version is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, but I roamed pretty freely from his version.  You know, The Goddess is a born culinary wanderer.  Continue reading →

Mocha-Java Dry Rub

28 Sunday Jun 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Dry Rubs/Spice Blends

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

Aleppo pepper flakes, brown sugar, cumin, espresso powder, onion granules

This is a sweet little rub…well not really sweet at all.  But, rather on the savory side…and delicious.  It’s very flexible, too.  Excellent on pork and beef, but equally delicious on salmon or chicken, as well as sweet potatoes.  You’re hungry now, aren’t you?  Continue reading →

South-of-the-Border Bean Salad (or Salsa)

bell peppers, Black beans, capers, Celery, cilantro, Corn, cumin, Garlic, jicama, kidney beans, lime juice, olive oil, olives, pickled jalapeño peppers, radishes, Scallions, smoked paprika, tomato

South-of-the-Border Bean Salad (or Salsa)You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right?  You  probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it.  This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn.  What makes this salad different?  It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors.  I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl!  Chips are good, too.  Continue reading →

Chicken Enchilada Crêpes with Cilantro-Lime Cream Sauce

Chicken Enchilada Crêpes with Cilantro-Lime Cream SauceThis 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.  Continue reading →

black pepper, Chicken, cumin, Garlic, honey, lime juice, salt

Cumin-Garlic-Lime Chicken with HoneyThis is perhaps one of The Goddess’s favorite recipes.  She could live on this.  Originally she marinated whole chickens, then she grilled them over indirect heat.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  Continue reading →

Mexican Restaurant-Style Salsa

16 Friday Oct 2015

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Appetizers, Gluten Free, Sauces

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

cilantro, cumin, Garlic, jalapeño peppers, lime juice, onion, tomato juice, tomato purée

Mexican Restaurant-Style SalsaI love salsa.  I think most people do.  I love it on good tortilla chips.  Good salsa pure, simple, with just the right balance of flavors.  The thing is I’m picky about my salsa.  I don’t like the watery version you get from using fresh tomatoes.  Nor the thick, gloppy version that takes over the whole chip.  Both of these seem to be de rigueur in many jarred, and so-called “fresh” salsas in supermarkets and many restaurants, Mexican or otherwise.  So I decided to do something about it.  Continue reading →

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

cumin, Garlic, guajillo flakes, honey, limes, olive oil, Orange, sesame oil

020The Latin Lover is not fond of vinaigrettes.  He doesn’t care for the sharpness of vinegar.  I can’t get enough of that flavor…we’re a mixed marriage.  So I came up with this version that works for both of us.  It has citrus, honey, and few other little delights to warm his soul.  Continue reading →
