I find it fun to tell you this month about those dishes in our kitchen that carry the colors of the flag: green, white and red.
We can refer to snacks, drinks, sauces, entrees, eggs, seafood, poultry, meats and even desserts. Let's take a look. In those days when flags fly and pinwheels spin around every corner, why not also think about celebrating Independence Day by serving some succulent dishes that remind us of our national colors?
You may be wondering, where is the red going to come from if not the tomato? and we cannot serve all dishes with tomato. That is true, but remember that there are also fresh and dried chili peppers that have the same color.
Everything is that you let your imagination fly. Next I am going to give you some ideas, but of course the most entertaining thing would be to invent new recipes.
Let's start with the snacks:
* Chubby tricolor. You can mix the dough with ancho chili and salt, cook them on the comal and decorate them by first putting a lettuce leaf, then cooked and shredded breast, cream, pickled xalapeño peppers, grated cheese and sliced radishes to garnish.
* Flag tacos. Make some taquitos stuffed with scrambled egg with chili, onion and tomato, fry them and arrange them on the platter, covering one or two tacos with green sauce with avocado, the middle ones with cream and the last ones with a red sauce. Sprinkle with fresh cheese.
In soups:
* What better than a Guerrero-style green pozole made with ground seed, green tomato, serrano pepper, and served with pork rinds, onion, radishes and piquín pepper.
Regarding the tickets:
* Tricolor rice. Make a green rice with poblano pepper, one white and one red. Arrange them on the serving platter, shaping them into the flag.
Seafood:
* Prepare a delicious Veracruz style fish (we all have a good recipe at home) or some ranch shrimp (see recipe).
The meats:
* What better than a delicious beef salad. Make it with cooked and shredded brisket, mix it with tomato, onion, potatoes, cilantro and chopped carrots, add cooked peas and finally bathe everything with a good vinaigrette. It is served cold.
Desserts:
* I would make a Mexican foam. Put a layer of lemon foam, a vanilla or coconut foam layer and a strawberry finish in a rectangular mold.
These are just one or another dish, there are thousands with the trigarante colors. What better than to take the test and have a little fun in your kitchen!
