Mexican Fajitas with a Side Dish Recipe

|

Fajitas is one of the most popular and traditional Mexican dishes. Fajitas are not just fried meat in a tortilla (corn tortilla), but also necessarily a traditional set of side dishes or sauces: black bean paste, rice with Mexican spices, Pico de Gallo sauce and sour cream. Meat, beans and rice are cooked with traditional Mexican spices: cumin, oregano and, of course, seasoned with lime juice. You can’t do without onions and hot peppers in this kitchen either. All these ingredients harmoniously complement each other and create a unique flavor of Mexican cuisine. Traditionally, rather cheap and not very soft pieces of beef are used for fajitas: peritoneum, sides and tenderloin (barrel, round, skirt, London broil, etc.). Therefore, it is very important for fajitas to cut the meat into very thin strips – across the fibers. In order for the meat to fry and remain juicy, cook them over very high heat. Of course, no one will forbid you to cook fajitas from more expensive steak chops: thick edge, thin edge, shackles, cereals and rump, and, of course, fillets. Although, in this case, it will not be quite a traditional fajita.

Baked Beef Brisket in the Manner of Pastrami Recipe

I really like baked beef in the oven, but it was rarely possible to achieve softness and the desired taste. And here I always get juicy, tender and very tasty meat. It is great both hot and cold for a sandwich or just to eat a piece is a pleasure. In general, this recipe has become my favorite: easy, delicious and liked by the whole family. I am glad to share this discovery with you.

Roast Offal with Mashed Potatoes Recipe

|

Please do not judge strictly for my first experience of posting some recipes. I want to offer you a traditional dish for our family and festive table. This recipe is a kind of analogue of the Kazakh national dish “kuyrdak”, which is originally prepared from sheep offal. I use both beef and pork offal (based on what is available), the taste does not change much from this. The dish turns out to be very fragrant, satisfying and very high in calories.

Soldier’s Kulesh Recipe

|

The war, the front, I’m… cooking? The items seem to be difficult to match. Everyone has their own: one in the trench – breadcrumbs soaked in a stream, the other in the office – a delicacy specially brought from the capital by plane… When guns speak, the muses, apparently, must remain silent. Including Colin, the patron saint of chefs. But, as the Russian people say, as you fall, you will drown. In other words, war is war, and lunch is on schedule. And today, when interest in the culinary side of our life has increased dramatically, there is almost no one to tell that a Russian soldier, like two hundred years ago, could cook porridge even with an axe, and his gastronomic savvy was matched by the ability to beat the enemy. This is one of the most widely used recipes during the war. Kulesh is a thick soup or not very thick, but very satisfying porridge.
