Jamie got me an amazing Mexican cookbook for Christmas - Truly Mexican by Roberto Santibanez. We decided to try it out this weekend and have a few friends over for a Mexican feast. It was great! And in the process, I found the coolest spot to source all of the harder-to-find Mexican ingredients (dried peppers, corn flours, big, ripe tomatillos...) It's a stall in
Essex Street Market called Viva Fruits and Vegetables. I went a little overboard and bought a bunch of things, including masa tamale flour and lard, so there may be tamales featured on here in the not so distant future.
We had
chilaquiles to start along with freshly made
tortilla chips and three great salsas -
roasted tomatillo with toasted chipotle powder salsa,
roasted cherry tomato salsa, and
spicy pineapple salsa. For the main course, we had an
adobo braised lamb, shredded up perfectly for tacos. It was delicious.
