Sorry Stephanie, this is the first time I saw this thread!! OMG! They were very good! Loved it! The lime and cilantro, oh yummy!Chef Stephanie Petersen said:I had a real gringo ask me, "When is Cinco de Mayo anyway?" Oh my stars... What a great idea for a theme show! I would serve fajitas. Produce is really cheap where I live so we do a lot of vegetable fajitas. I posted this in another thread, but here is my recipe:
veggie fajitas using marinated portabello mushroom as the meat alternative I use about 8 oz mushroom to 2 bell peppers and one onion sliced really thin. I would marinate mushrooms in a southwest blend something like this:
juice of one lime and zest
1 clove fresh pressed garlic
1/2 cup organic olive oil
2 tsp chipotle rub or southwestern
you could also serve a fresh salsa like mango or cantelope for a change of flavor.
Basic salsa
3 cups chopped fruit or tomato
1 medium chopped onion
1 jalepeno seeded and minced
1 clove fresh pressed garlic
juice and zest of one lime
1/2 cup minced cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp oregano
1tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chipotle rub or southwestern
You can use Chicken shrimp or beef in place of the mushroom and just rub some of the chipolte or southwest seasoning on them before you slice them thin or if you marinated them use the marinade recipe above.
Miss Chef used this recipe for a show so you could ask her how it went.
