Eggs poached in a ranchero-type sauce for a great brunch
Recipe for one serving: In a small saucepan, bring to a simmer about a cup of salsa, or in this case about half a cup each of leftover mulato chile sauce and commercial salsa, nestle 2 raw eggs in the mixture, cover with a lid and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are done as you prefer. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle some sliced green onion, diced avocado, shredded Monterey jack or crumbled queso fresco (or feta) over the top. Serve with warmed flour tortillas.
Pumpkin bar with crème fraiche - Recipe posted to LJ earlier. The tangy creme fraiche offset the sweetness of the bar very nicely.
Strawberry margarita - There are many margarita recipes, this one is a nice balance between sweet and sour ... for my taste. :)
Strawberry Margarita (slushy type) - serves 1
4 oz frozen strawberries
1 oz simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water brought to a boil and then cooled)
1 oz lime juice
1 1/2 oz tequila ie Jose Cuervo Gold
1/2 oz Grand Marnier or triple sec ie Cointreau
handful of ice cubes (2 oz or so)
In a blender, puree above and pour through a strainer to retain any ice cubes that remain. Pour into a decorative glass and drink it quickly before it all melts.
