Otra Margarita, ¡Por Favor!

 

Living in Houston means, among other things, that you live in Tex-Mex country. It also means sweltering heat 9 months out of the year. Luckily, those 2 little facts make a Margarita a necessity. Simple as that. Margaritas are how we quench our thirst and cool down from the heat in…

Enchiladas de Pollo a la Ranchera

 

I live in Houston, also known as Tex-Mex country. You can't drive 2 blocks without spotting some sort of Mexican restaurant. I'll admit I may be exaggerating A BIT, but I promise you, not much.

 

I will also admit I'm not Mexican, though I did play one for a while.…

Cordero Guisado (Stewed Lamb)

 

A guiso is one of those universal, one-pot dishes that exists in every cuisine/culture I can think of. Stew, cassoulet, kho, cocido, caldeirada, goulash--whatever the name and the main ingredient, it is a hearty soupy dish, slowly braised until the various ingredients are incredibly tender. There's…

Jumping Beans

 

Well, not really, but they are yummy beans. I have to begin by telling you that I'm not intimately acquainted with white or navy beans. We just don't have these in Panama, at least *I* didn't have them. We have the prepared cans of pork & beans, which I believe are made with these, but that's…

Picadillo a la Mexicana

 



Picadillo is well-known, even if slightly different, in all Latin countries. It always begins the same way, with ground beef that is increased with local vegetables and aromatics. In Panama, we add tomatoes or tomato sauce, capers, olives and sometimes…

Pescado al Ajillo (Fish in Garlic Sauce)

 





They say only death and taxes are certain, I think change is too. Change is inevitable, it is…

Pork Spareribs with Tamarind Glaze

 

 





I love tamarind. In Panama we make a drink with it, this isn't exclusive to my little country, of course. We also process the pulp, mix it with brown sugar and make it into balls that are then dipped in sugar and sold. It is an incredibly good snack, just thinking about it…

Hojalda: Panamanian Fried Dough

 



Admit it. We all have a love affair with fried dough. Doughnuts, beignets, churros, funnel cakes, the little Chinese ones (I don't know the name). I venture to say that every country likely has a version of this marvel. It makes sense, it is mmmm, good!…
