Slow Cooked Shredded Pork with Chile Verde

by Stephen Chavez in Main Entrée, Recipes on April 30, 2013

Pork shoulder cooked so slow that it falls off the bone. Chile Verde that has the tartness from the tomatillos and limes and just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños and Serrano chiles. Add garlic and onions to the sauce with some chopped cilantro, marry the meat and sauce together, and you have magic in your mouth. It’s easily one of my favorite...

Lamb Burger with Rajas Poblanas. Happy Easter from LatinoFoodie.

Last week a reporter from TheBigTino, a new online news magazine covering Latino food, entertainment and arts, asked if he could come to our house to interview us for an upcoming feature story. We’re media whores so of course we said, yes, and “we’ll even cook you lunch!” Since Easter is quickly approaching, we tossed around a few ideas — deviled egg sandwiches, a new twist on...

Artichokes are here! Well, these green globes are available year round but they are at their peak during Spring and Fall.

Lenten season is upon us and I am always scrambling to figure out how to have a meatless day. I’m a true carnivore. I can’t help it. Without meat in my meal I often find myself feeling deprived. Nopales (cactus paddles) is one of the first places I go to create a new recipe or re-create a tried and true one. Often found growing throughout Mexico and California where...

Sopa de Lima with Black Limes: This Aint Your Mama’s Chicken Soup

With cooler weather and influenza settling in for the season, it is time to pull out the comfort food big guns. One of my ultimate Mexican comfort foods, Sopa de Lima, can definitely hold its own among my other heartier and heavier soup recipes. Don’t be fooled. This soup is not just another chicken soup. The limes make this soup a little tangy, but also...

Quit Loafing Around; Wake up Your Meatloaf Recipe with Roasted Pasilla Peppers

Believe it or not, sometimes Art and I don’t agree on the food we like. He doesn’t care for meatloaf. He feels it’s boring, plus he has an aversion to ketchup. He remembers his mom making it once or twice and each time it was dry (sorry mama Rodriguez, his words not mine). Personally, I like meatloaf. I like meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy....
