Because it was Saturday and we were, well at a loose end really, me, Big Al and MCJ thought "what the hey, let's get together for a big cook up!" After checking our stocks of booze it became obvious that the only thing that would really work with the tequila, triple sec and dozen or so fresh limes on a sultry January afternoon in Sydney was cuisine from the South West USA . A couple of years ago MCJ and I did a community cooking course and we have been busting to try out these dishes on someone for a while. Here is our menu...
Tiny Peppers grilled and filled with goats cheese
Chipotle Prawn Fajitas
MCJ's Marinated Mexe-chicken
Black Bean Ragout
Guacamole
Big Al's Badass chili chocolate Truffles
A vat of Margeuritas
Mmmm... we were all set for a feast of south west proportions. We negotiated Neutral Bay woollies (drunk I might add) and managed to get home with our prawns and chickens with out incident. MCJ pulled out a tin of Chipotle in adobo that she had smuggled into the country illegally from Hawaii (along with nail polish remover and nail files) which was, ahhh a little hotter than we had anticipated.
So were marinated, grilled, twice roasted etc all afternoon long aided only by our friend Margeurita. And everything was looking fantastic when MCJ with her usual deft elegance and presence of mind somehow managed to smash her wine glass over twenty bucks worth of chipotle marintedprawns loving prepared by us. But it didn't stop us eating them. Oh no, we did what you always do when there is broken glass in food, we got a pair of tweezers and a torch. <>
