Ode to Habenero! (note my new logo!


Here's one take I have on huevos rancheros. Rice and beans with a habenero salsa and nice guacamole with garlic, red onion, jalapeno, lime, cilantro and salt. Oh my fucking god, one of my favorite dishes on the planet. I used to call in late for work and say, "I'll be working from home this morning" just to go to Cafe Havana on Prince and Elizabeth to get some espresso and huevos rancheros. The Chilaquiles are also still in my dreams. So now I need to import some of the flavor I remember to my own kitchen amidst the land of the bland.


Next we have more habenero with seared sesame salmon and a version of refried red beans. They fried slowly on the pan with garlic and onion. I let them break down and get partially mashed, but not fully, and left the root vegetables in tact. Served with yellow rice.

Oh, I'm going to do the salmon, I've just bought salmon today. As in today, where everyone is super-desperate ;D

Also, nice logo, I like how the letters follow the pepper fruit :D

Oooooh, that salmon looks nice and rare, just the way I like it.

Hey Maples - HA! Yeah very very rare. Actually it probably could have stood a bit more fire. Electric stoves SUCK, especially for searing, controlling temperature. As soon as I make enough donation money from this site...*cough* then I think I'll invest in gas.
