Lentils with Onion, Bell Peppers, Garlic and HerbsLentils make a nice “bed” for some lovely roasted chicken.  Or a piece of grilled fish or pork chop.  Think lentils, instead of rice, pasta or potatoes.  And lentils offer some terrific vitamins and minerals, too.  Oh yes, did I mention they are also delicious?  Continue reading →

bell pepper, Celery, Dijon mustard, Garlic, Green beans, honey, olive oil, onion, radishes, sherry vinegar, sugar, tri-bean blend legumes

We ate a lot of Three Bean Salad when I was a kid.  During the summer, my mother made it frequently.  I think it was because we all liked it, it made a huge batch and it kept well.  All that, and we had almost everything growing in the garden.  I started with her recipe, then took a flying leap!  Continue reading →

beef broth, bell peppers, capers, diced tomatoes, dry white wine, Garlic, green olives, Ground beef, Onions, raisins, sherry vinegar, Spices, tomato paste

Cuban-Style PicadilloEvery Cuban woman (or man, I suppose) knows how to make Picadillo.  It’s quick and delicious, but it’s never as good as “mami makes”!  Some things transcend cultures, don’t they?  I learned how to make this from my mother-in-law and from The Latin Lover’s great-aunt, both damn fine cooks.  It’s a very valuable recipe to have.  Continue reading →

Iberian Peninsula Braising Sauce

11 Thursday Oct 2018

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

almonds, beef broth, bell peppers, Bread, chuck steak, fresh herbs, Garlic, honey, olive oil, olives, Onions, plum tomatoes, sherry vinegar, Spices, white wine

Iberian Peninsula Braised BeefThis sauce is incredibly complex and absolutely delicious, with flavors leaning well into Spain and wandering just a bit into Portugal.  Sherry vinegar, smoked paprika, cinnamon, olives, orange and almonds are significant players in both countries, tracing their roots back to the Moorish habitation of the peninsula for some 700 years.  Make certain you have good bread to mop.  You don’t want to miss a drop!

Cuban Ham Dip-Updated!

Tags

ball park mustard, bread & butter pickles, cream cheese, garlic granules, Ham, parsley flakes, red onion, roasted red peppers, sherry vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

Cuban Ham Dip-UpdatedThe original Cuban Ham Dip is delicious.  It is.  But, it’s evolved.  The Latin Lover likes the evolution.  He thinks it’s even better than the original.  It still has a smoky, sweet-sharp flavor, and it’s still creamy and robust.  But, it’s more complex.  It makes a great sandwich.  Or maybe a Super Bowl slider?  Continue reading →

079Gazpacho is the perfect summer soup.  In Andalusia, it’s smooth, unctuous and creamy.  The Goddess loves that version.  She could bathe in that version.  But, she’s also just a tad unconventional, so she also really likes a slightly chunkier version with bits of crunchy vegetables, too.  That’s what this is!  Continue reading →
