I'm trying to eat more plant-base meals so in my search of really good recipes for mexican comida, I was very disappointed. I found very few. And when I did find some, they were missing flavor, that touch of my abulita. I often think of her when I cook and so if the food doesn't remind me of her, it's back to the kitchen I go. This might be a hard concept to understand for some of you however it's what I base all food by....the feeling of my abulita's cooking. I also believe food is medicine so I use ingredients keeping in mind what's going on with my family energetically and physically.
My first thing was
caldo tlalpeno. I'm excited to try it......Ingredients
8 cups water
sprig of epazote
2 garlic clove
1/2 onion
salt for flavor
Boil to make your stock.....30-45 mins. Strain everything out so you are left with is your caldo. Then add......
2 cups of cooked garbanzo beans
1 marinaded chipote chile
Simmer together for 30 mins. Serve with fresh cilantro, avocado and lime.
This was delicious, healthy and filling.
Hope you enjoy.
