Pernil is pork marinated in a sauce of bitter orange juice, onion, garlic, achiote, cloves, cinnamon, cumin and panela and slow roasted in the oven for several hours.
All you need is a box of cake mix, a container of Greek yogurt and a cup or orange juice to create this low-fat cake that tastes just like an orange creamsicle!
This version of bubble and squeak replaces the traditional Brussels sprouts or cabbage with peppery mustard greens, and uses potatoes that you cook specifically for this purpose. And the name? Well, that's just the sort of meandering my brain does when I am out walking Ginger -- it occurred to me that Colonel Mustard would need a hearty dish like this after a busy day of either solving or committing murders.
There's fiesta night, and then there's FIESTA NIGHT! Carnitas tacos is about as good as it gets at our house. This recipe is mostly hands off because you put it in the slow cooker and forget about it (except that your house smells like delicious pork). Leftovers are great for quesadillas, taco salad, or pulled pork sandwiches.
I was so excited to see your best broiled steak recipe contest. Steak is one of my favorite foods and while barbecuing outside is ideal for some, it is one of the few barbecued meats that actually benefits from the broiler. Why? Because you can control the heat and it won't burst into flames when you put the lid down, run inside and came back out to find fat has dripped down into the flames and set your beautiful piece of meat aflame.This is a recipe my dad used to make when I was a kid. He is recently deceased (cancer) but his spirit lives on in the meat each time I eat it and think of him. He used to rub the entire steak in a liberal dosing of pure yellow mustard, then add salt and pepper. I have updated it a bit, by substituting dry mustard and changing the spicing a bit. But its still every inch his recipe. The key is to buy a New York roast and cut it yourself into nice 2 1/2 inch slabs (or have your butcher do it.)
Oh, yumm... These sourdough tortillas were awesome! Chewy, soft, and pliable! The second day, I heated them up in a warm skillet, one by one, where they retained all their first day softness.
