Mexican Pozole II (Posole) by Salad Foodie

This is the second installment on my mission to try different methods of making pozole. It has similar ingredients as the first one I posted (see “Useful Links” below), is less spicy and requires a longer cook time. Here are some things I liked about this one: (1) ease of preparation - just dump everything in the pot (2) a generous…

Mexican Pozole I (Posole) by Salad Foodie

A hominy stew with pork or chicken, this soup can usually be found where Mexican food is popular. Has a nice “heat” to it, and as with most stews, flavors enhance next day. This recipe is based on one from the Las Palmas website and requires about 1 hour of cooking. A second version of posole is posted (see "Useful Links" below.)

Flame Grilled Tomato Tomatillo Sauce by Beth Bybee

Zesty Salsa for Canning by Krista Goben

Makes about 6 (16 oz) pints or 12 (8 oz) half pints (I double this recipe to make 7 quarts, it usually makes a little more so I have about 5 pint jars ready in case!) **note: When I make quarts, I boil for 30 minutes.

Camarones a la plancha - Shrimp on the griddle by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious mexican shrimp dish that you'll find served in the lovely seaside restaurants along both of Mexico's coast. The wonderful smells of the shrimp, garlic, and onion will fill your house and make everyone's mouths water. I cooked these tonight for Cinco de Mayo and both we and our kids absolutely loved them. I left…

Grilled Fish Tacos by Salad Foodie

Tangy avocado salsa and grilled fish in a warm tortilla make for a much healthier fish taco than the usual restaurant variety. This recipe is based on one from Bill Phillips Eating for Life, though I had to sub a few ingredients due to what I had on hand. Too cold to grill outdoors, I used the counter top grill. No swordfish or tuna,…

Cocoa Spice Rub by Carrie Hollister

I have tested various cocoa spice rub recipes on myself and my family and friends and have modified ingredients and their amounts according to their comments and likings. This is great for pork tenderloin or spare ribs which can be prepared in the oven or on the grill.

Just Too Good Guacamole by Saralyn

It's funny how your tastes change. It was only two years ago that I absolutely hated anything to do with avocados. Whenever we would go to a Mexican restaurant, I'd always give my husband the guacamole that came with my meal. Do not ask me how or why, but now I absolutely LOVE guacamole. And no, the change didn't come along due to…

Chad's Real Deal Salsa by Chad Slyngstad

I have perused the web over and over and have had a very hard time finding authentic salsa roja (Red Salsa for you gringos). True salsa roja is NOT chunky. True salsa roja is not chunky. Did I say that true salsa roja is NOT chunky!? It is pureed with a pleasant amount of vegetable taste that a combination of a few things seem to…

Ron's Afterburner Mexican Hot Sauce by Ronald R. Flinders

This is my version of Pico Pica, available on the west- coast but very limited in the mid-west. Goes great on just about you want to add a little zip to, especially Mexican foods.

Salsa Ranchera by Kathleen is Cooking in Mexico

Salsa is the ketchup of Mexico, but much more tasty, varied and appealing. Salsa Ranchera is served all over Mexico, adding a zesty flavor to meats, eggs, or anything served in a tortilla.

Mexican Seafood Chowder by Jason Freund

There are two challenges to this dish: one is to get the right balance of salt, garlic, saffron, and jalapeno; and the other is to not overcook the seafood. This recipe is straight from Sunset, 12/2001.
