Sausage and fried onion baps with tomato and chilli chutney.
Chilli made with the beef stock and fat from the New Year’s Day rib of beef. Very nice indeed. Ancho, pasilla, chipotle and fresh red chillies. Added powdered black lime.
Refried pinto beans cooked in guanciale fat (I also chucked the browned skin in the pot when cooking the beans) topped with crumbled queso fresco.
Tomatillo salsa, fresh tomato salsa and guacamole (also topped with queso fresco). Guacamole spiked with fish sauce and avocado leaf powder (gently fried in some groundnut oil and left to cool before adding).
Onions garlic and green chilli mixed with lime juice well ahead of time which I find mellows it all out. Tomatoes finely chopped, salted and left to drain in a sieve 30 mins before mixing. Made up the salsa and guacamole 30 mins before serving for flavours to mix.
Grated Monterey jack cheese and rice.
Enough chilli left for burritos later in the week too
Sounds droolworthy, so
Using up the sprouts and potatoes for lunch. Did the mash with cream to use up the end of a tub- well….saved just enough to go in a prawn curry tonight.
I refuse to cook sprouts any other way now. Look at the caramelisation on these fuckers.
Looks just like my living room floor on Monday when Tara was poorly.
