So I just went to Mexico on a missions trip with the youth group at Big Valley Grace church in Modesto. It was amazing. It was life changing. The food in Mexico was great.
Things I want to make now:
Flame grilled clams
Cheese ice cream
Fish tacos
The first thing I'm going to try is the cheese ice cream. As far as I can tell, it uses a ricotta like cheese called requeson. I'm trying to put together a custard recipe that would churn up well using the cheese. I have no clue what it's supposed to taste like, but Armando, a student in my van, says it's awesome.
The clams were AMAZING. I had some at La Bufadora in Baja, the day we let the students do some shopping. The guy had these fresh clams that he scored with a knife, then he stuck some minced onion, cilantro, and some sort of sweet red thing I couldn't figure out in them and put them over a charcoal grill until the cheese melted and the liquid boiled.
The fish tacos are made from strips of cod. One of the men on the trip says he got a recipe for the batter they use. What I'd do is this: Salt the cod strips. Dip in mayonaise. Roll in seasoned flour. dip in mayonaise. roll in seasoned flour. Fry at 360 until golden brown. Serve with cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro, and lime on a white corn tortilla. Mmm...

ReplyDeleteI made fish tacos this last week! They were soooo yummy! I had picked up some red snapper filets for a few bucks, not sure what to do with it. Fish tacos were a great choice. I seasoned the fish, then tossed in flour, before frying in olive oil. Topped with the same toppings you suggested, with the addition of avocado of course. Soooo delish!

ReplyDeleteTell me how the cheese ice cream goes. I'm trying to imagine what that would taste like without gagging.
