Chimay Short Ribs Empanadas

Remember the Short Ribs – Braised in Belgium Style Ale Recipe  that I made a week or two ago?  The leftovers were terrific stuffed inside store bought frozen empanada shells (discos).   

Chile Verde

Recipes slowly change and get updated based on what is available at the time.  Here is a great example of an updated version of green chile and pork stew that Irecently made for my son’s Spring Break homecoming.  You'll notice that I had more time and more fresh produce available in my kitchen than I did in December of 2004 when I first made this stew. 

Original Green Chili and Pork Stew Recipe

This recipe is from my notebook dated December 2004.  My youngest son was 12 at the time and quite the picky eater.  He loved this simple stew and requested it often. 

Salsa Verde

This green salsa is a house staple, slightly sweet, salty and just enough heat to tingle the tongue.  I serve it as a side for fajitas, nachos, tacos or just about any other Mexican dish, as well as add it to many soups and stews. 

Carnitas Soup Recipe- Black Bean, Corn and Kale Pork Soup

This soup grew out of my frugal nature.  After making Carnitas, I tasted the braising liquid and decided that it was to good to just toss it down the drain.  I poked around my pantry and came up with this soup recipe.

Carnitas – Mexican Braised Pulled Pork Recipe

Carnitas is my husband’s all time favorite meal at our local Mexican restaurant.  I have tried a few different recipes, while all have been good, he still thinks the restaurant's version is better.  I am on track to master his favorite, so look for other Carnitas recipes in future posts. 

Currently , this is my favorite carnitas recipe.
