somebody shut me the fark up.
Many thanks to you folks, I learned that Saturday was Derby Day! True to family form, we celebrated with Kentucky "Hot Brown" Sliders (Link to Recipe), Mint Juleps, and Homemade Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce.
"Hot Brown" Sliders
Sweet Onion "Sauce" over the top
After a 3 hour rest in the fridge, they went in the oven for a bit.
My chosen horse (Hot Rod Charlie) didn't win, but it was fun to watch, nonetheless.
Bread Pudding with Homemade Whiskey Sauce Eased my "loss."
BREAK BREAK
Suadero Adventure Time!
Having watched Netflix's Taco Chronicles and the Munchies Todos los Tacos series, it was about time I give this a shot.
I'm rolling with technique/recipe from this YouTube Video
Ingredients: (I've generally halved the below)
8-10 Lbs Brisket
1 Large Hoja Santa or 4 Bay Leafs
1 Large White Onion
4-5 Large Garlic Cloves
5 Peppercorns
1-2 Sticks of Cinnamon
1-2 Tbs Salt
2 Tsp Cumin
1/2 Cup Lard
Discovered that beef prices sky-rocketed overnight in ABQ. Could get a brisket flat for bout $30 on Friday... but now they're over $6/lb... :shock: so I bought a Prime Packer Brisket and just cut off about 3+ lbs of meat for this adventure.
Trimmed some fat, salted, and rested in a bowl out in the garage fridge overnight.
Cooking this in the Instant Pot with some Longaniza sausage for flavor. Yes, that's lard and some bacon drippin' from my jar by the stove.
Added in the whole spices
Started stacking meat around the sausage
In went the onion, garlic, and cumin sprinkle over the top
On High for 60 Min
Time to whip up some Salsa Roja (that didn't come out quite so roja, but tasty and spicy)
Need a "nicer," tame salsa for my girls
Oh, look! The sun is over the yardarm!
Now, we wait... and do laundry.
