Sorry, no pics this time... This is a simple and incredibly tasty way to cook meat al pastor. The real deal involves stacking the shit up and cooking it gyro style, but this tastes every bit as good if you ask me. Grab: Meat (whatever you want, pork, chicken, beef; I used top sirloin, if you do beef you want something fairly lean) Garlic Cumin Onion Canned crushed or chunk pineapple (I like the chunky stuff) Dried ancho chiles Salt Here we go... take your dried chiles and stick 'em in a microwave safe bowl and put enough water in to soak 'em. Or soak 'em ahead of time and use less water. I don't care. Nuke for 4-5 minutes. Remove from microwave oven. Pull the stems and dump the rehydrated chiles in a blender with a teaspoon or less of cumin, a pinch of salt, and a few cloves of garlic. Add some pineapple juice from the can too. Blend until a smooth thick marinade. Slice the meat very thinly, throw in a bowl with marinade. Add the chunks of pineapple, and some roughly chopped/diced onion. Stir up and cover, let sit in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Take your gooey mess and spread onto some foil on a cookie sheet, stick under a broiler until the meat pieces start blackening a bit on the corners while still being mostly soft and juicy. Slop the stuff you just made in some warm tortillas and top off with chopped cilantro and some salsa. Enjoy.
I might have to try that one out, it sounds pretty good. Here's a quickie dip I make out of Chunky soup. 1 can Chunky brand chicken corn chowder. blend in mild green tobasco or green tomatillo salsa to taste microwave until warm serve with blue corn chips.
moose that sounds awesome! i remember you, alex and a few others were posting up recipes last year. i wonder if alex would be up for making a sub-section in off-topic where we could all post up recipes, and put in the old recipe posts from last year?
for a split second i thought you had completely gone off the deep end and were posting recipes for cooking clergy. yeah, i need more coffee...
