Tried 2 of the New Latin Flavor Recipes

[PamperedCaniac]

:thumbup: Ok I made the stuffed poblano with Chorizo sausage and Shrimp and the Marinated Steak with Oregano Potatoes! Both get a huge thumbs up! I made these for my sisters birthday last night and everyone loved them.... The poblano ( Had to buy serrano I think) were a little spicy and litterally burned my moms hands when she was taking the seeds out for me so wear gloves however, the stuffing part was great and my step dad was asking for more!!! I added more Chorizo sausage to the mixture too because 3oz is not enough in my opinion.
The Steak Marinade and the oregano potatoes were wonderful!! I am going to make the potatoes more often as a side dish here! Oh, add extra salt to the potatoes and the steak though! The steak was gone in NO TIME but I did not use skirt steak because it is so hard to find and very fatty... (flank steak is even fattier)... I used a "grilling" steak!
Just wanted to give you guys the heads up on this and all the items were very easy to find (except fresh oregano - I had to use dried) YUUMY!!:thumbup::thumbup::chef:

Dawn,
If I'm not mistaken, serrano's are hotter than pablanos so that may have been why. I love mexican/latin food so I can't wait to get this book!
Thanks for the review!
God bless,
Amanda

Thank you for the heads up on the peppers! I have eaten poblanos in the past and they were not hot, but I had no experience with Serrano's until last night! I LOVE spicy food so for me to think they were spicy was something big! LOL I put Texas Pete (our hot sauce in NC) on my fries sometimes in lieu of ketchup a lot of times! LOL

serranos are tiny hot peppers and are used alot in oriental dishes the poblanos are big & dark green

At my local grocery store, they told me that anaheim peppers and poblanos are pretty similar in heat and size. They are both good for stuffing and are relatively mild. Usually a serrano pepper is a small pepper and is much hotter than a jalapeno.

I have made several out of this cookbook as well and all have been excellent so far!
