Monday Night Dinner...Taco Monday...

I had some frozen country style pork ribs...usually best for braising over long period of time.

I didn't have time to braise so I butchered them off the bone and cut into 1/4 inch strips...

2 lb sliced pork country ribs off bone
1 lime
Cumin, Cilantro, Salt, Pepper
Olive Oil
Fresh corn tortillas
Cilantro and White Onion garnish

Marinate the slices at least for an hour, combine all ingredients. I lit a very hot charcoal grill and flash grilled them in 7 minutes or so. Served with fresh cilantro and onion...hot sauce and some sour cream.

Good stuff...lesson is that tough meat when sliced thin and quickly grilled is tender.

Peace!

Today's Dinner 3-11-2010

Ate a huge blue cheese burger last night so I decided to make something healthy.

After glancing through Daiquiri Dick's (one of my favorite spots in Puerto Vallarta) cookbook, I settled on black bean soup with a salad of beets and mustard greens.

Here are the ingredients I am using for the soup:

• 2c Black Beans + 1 box of low sodium stock
  
• Carrot, Celery, Yellow Onion, Garlic sauteed in olive oilg
  
• Salt, Cumin, Clove, Basil, Oregano, 1 Ancho and 1 Guajillo chile (dried), finish with honey

I will puree the soup after 3 to 4 hours of simmering with an immersion blender.

Will update how it went!
