Hope everybody had a good Cinco de Mayo. Ours was pretty tame, but we did make some fresh, healthy Tex-Mex for dinner. In this picture it kind of looks like Fancy Feast, but I promise, it tasted much much better (not that I know what cat food tastes like, of course).We're working on plating our little culinary creations, so the Boy made a mound of rice mixed with onions, corn, and black beans. Then we topped that with slices of grilled chicken which had been basted with a cilantro pesto (I put a ton of cilantro in the food processor with garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and balsamic-- voila). Then we took some more of the cilantro pesto and mixed it with the leftover roasted red pepper dip to make some kind of weird salsa. I feel guilty for saying this contains absolutely no tomatoes whatsoever. How can that be? Well, Sriracha has tomatoes in it, and I used it to make those smeary little 5s on the plate. 5/5 -- get it?
Can you tell we've been watching a lot of Bourdain and Zimmern? Better practice more on our presentation-- but flavor gets a 5!
