Moqueca is a seafood stew from the state of Bahia, the heart of Afro-Brazilian food and culture. Fish and shrimp are simmered with tomato, peppers and coconut milk, flavored with dende oil & lime juice.  I'll make some spicy piri piri sauce to serve on the side, along with steamed rice and lime wedges.

Tamale Pie is in the works for this week.
We will serve it with a big salad featuring produce from Mt Shasta Grower's Coop and Catlin Greenhouses & Farm, along with our usual organics from Earl's.

Additionally,  I've been wanting to make this iconic Mexican dessert for ages: the Carlota de Limon is an old fashioned "icebox cake" made by layering cookies with a lime-juice infused cream filling. I am pretty sure mine will not look as perfect as the one in the photo lol!

Black bean chili simmered with tomato, onions and  spices, topped with polenta, roasted corn, cheddar & jack cheeses. Served with salsa and sour cream on the side.

This week we are making a few changes to a favorite menu (so that it doesn't get boring!) These meatballs are so yummy and it's the Makrut lime leaf that really makes them special. I usually make a green curry for these Thai style chicken meatballs, but sometimes the heat level of green curry gets out of hand, so this time I will make a milder red curry paste to simmer with coconut milk and veggies. In addition to the curry, I'm going to make a new version of the tiger salad :)

Thai basil/ mint/cilantro/scallion/ cucumber/melon/lime dressing/ crunchy toppings/MSG/ hot green chilies

Here is the menu for Tuesday, May 5.  Orders got away from me today and we are already sold out!

This Tuesday just happens to be Cinco de Mayo- in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is an important day for the people of Puebla, commemorating the unlikely victory of the Mexican army over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Here in the United States, it has become a day to celebrate Mexican culture.  I've been wanting to make Quesabirria tacos and it looks like the time has come! To start, we make the birria by braising beef brisket with guajillo chilies, Mexican oregano, garlic, onions and a cinnamon stick until we have a rich broth and the meat is very tender. Next, we shred the beef and and fold it into tortillas, adding cheese til it melts and browns, kind of like a taco/quesadilla mashup.  To serve, we add some onion, chopped cilantro and lime, and we dip our tacos in little cups of broth.

Crunchy Slaw-

Frijoles de la Olla-
