¿A quién no le gustan las albóndigas? Especialmente si son pequeñas, llenas de sabor y rellenas de queso? En México, se acostumbra rellenar las albóndigas de huevo cocido, pero el sólo hecho de pensar en partir una albóndiga y que el queso salga fundido de ella, me hace agua la boca =) Aquí…
So…who doesn’t like meatballs? Especially when they are tiny, flavorful and stuffed with cheese? In Mexico, we use to stuff the meatballs with hard-boiled egg, but just thinking about cutting a meatball and having some melted cheese oozing out from it, makes my mouth water! Below, a chipotle fla…
These hot and sunny days remember me of my childhood vacations, when my family and I used to spend the summer at Nayarit, Mexico. We would always eat seafood in many ways, but the best was always the ceviche! It’s a no fuss, no cook meal which is perfect for hot days.
En estos días de calor, recuerdo cuando pasaba mis vacaciones en las playas de Nayarit con mi familia, y comíamos pescado y mariscos en distintas maneras pero en especial: ¡ceviches! Siempre se antoja un plato fresco y fácil de preparar durante el verano.
Yep, another way to use up your corn this summer! This time it’s in a creamy ice cream topped with blueberries and blackberries. The first time I had sweet corn ice cream I thought I died and went to heaven--it was served as a sundae with toffee popcorn and blueberry sauce.
Sopes are raised corn patties filled with basically whatever you please. Because they can be stuffed with your choice of filling, they please vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We did not fry these sopes but you can certainly heat some oil in the pan to make them a little crispier.
Me gusta pensar en los sopes como pequeñas canastitas de maiz que pueden rellenarse con casi cualquier cosa, desde carne, queso y hasta verduras; un poco de salsa y listo! tienes una entrada perfecta o incluso, un plato fuerte que puedes acompañar con ensalada.
Last time my sister came to visit, she brought a special and beloved present with her: my grandma’s molcajete, made of very black stone and decorated with a cute pigglet´s head and its own tejolote (that’s the way we called the pestle).
La última vez que me visitó mi hermana, trajo con ella un pequeño pero adorado regalo que desde hace tiempo añoraba: el molcajete de mi abuela, de piedra negra y decorado con cabeza de puerquito, con todo y su tejolote (piedra pequeña que se usa para machacar).
Esquites is a fast snack and staple on the streets of Mexico. It’s sold at food carts, served in cups usually, and it’s a great way to serve up this season’s corn. This is a spicy recipe so if you prefer less heat, omit the piquin pepper and remove the seeds and vein from the serrano pepper.
