Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco

Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco by John Spottiswood

I adapted this delicious, crispy-edged meat recipe from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. Nancy and I used to eat at his restaurant, the Frontera Grill, when we lived in Chicago. I served this over black beans and rice along with my spicy Ropa Vieja recipe and it was a huge hit. This would be a great alternative to carnitas for a…

Scotch Eggs

Scotch Eggs by Patti Fisher

A Scotch egg is a work of art. These things are AWESOME; everyone who has tried one says “Oh My Gosh, these are great!!!” And being the Chef those words are music to my ears. A Scotch Egg is a hardboiled egg, wrapped with a quarter pound of sausage, then wrapped with a strip of thick cut bacon and put onto a stick. We call it…

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham

Scalloped Potatoes & Ham by Patti Fisher

This was a great, homey, comfort food recipe. We love ham because there’s so many ways to use the leftovers…and there’s always leftovers. We’re having a potluck at our community center and this is sure to be a hit. It would also work great as an after Church brunch. You can add chopped spinach, broccoli or your favorite veggie blend…

Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe

Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood

We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this. If you try this…

Pork, Sweet Potato and Poblano Stew

Pork, Sweet Potato and Poblano Stew by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one on Simply Recipes, and it is really delicious. I doubled the onion, garlic, poblano, cumin and sauce from her recipe, and quadrupled the sweet potato. The result was a delicious, juicy stew that had a nice balance of vegetables and meat. I'm sure the original recipe is great too, but I'd highly…

Best Ever Ham and Mandarin Salad by Smokinhotchef

A copious amount of goodness in a flash. Juicy cooked ham is mixed with lots of fresh crunchy vegetables with an all out taste-bud party-gras. Capers and giardinera provide the acidic tang, while celery and mandarin contribute crisp texture and sutle blast of sweetness. Guaranteed to become your new favorite go-to ham salad for…

Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin

Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin by John Spottiswood

This is a great stew for making in a big pot on a cool day in the Spring or Fall. We serve it over rice, but it would also go nicely over pasta or with an artisan style bread.
