Poverty is the mother of all my culinary creativity.
It always starts out like this. I am about to buy a burger or some Chinese take-out. Around $5.00. Then I start thinking about all the delicious things I could cook for $5.00. And lots of it too. Five dollars is 20 chicken thighs; five pounds of lean ground pork; 2 pounds of ground beef.
On the first day of 2007, the five dollars turned into:
CHITPOTLE BEEF BURRITO FILLING!
1 garlic clove minced
one-half a medium yellow onion chopped
3 jalapeno chilies, chopped
peanut oil
1.5 lb ground beef, not too greasy
saute the garlic, onion, jalapenos in oil till wilted. Add the ground beef and cook till the ground beef is cooked and it is sizzling. If you use a cast iron pan it is quick. If you use a master-chef all clad it takes forever!
remove the ground beef mixture and put it in a sieve to drain off all the fat.
1 cup minced cabbage
peanut oil
chipotle (small can)
tomatillo (big one) boiled in chicken oil
1pc tofu, squeezed & chopped
LIQUID SMOKE
'
salt
pepper
soy sauce
fish sauce
vinegar
