I should have taken more pictures but tonight I made a lot.
First I made a salsa de arbol.
Dried Arbol chilies reconstituted with roasted tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, cilantro, garlic, salt. Pureed.
It was very spicy so I separated some then added considerably more tomato, some sugar and salt and made a second more mild batch.
So now I have a spicy and medium spicy taqueria type salsa.
Then I made chili paste.
Dried California chilis reconstituted, dried Pasilla chilis reconstituted, onion, cilantro, garlic, cumin, lime juice, chicken broth, salt.
Some was to save but some is to make Vampiro Tacos tomorrow. You thin it out and splash it on the hot griddle before laying the tortilla down.
Then I made some pickled cucumber.
English cucumber, some red onion, salt, sugar, rice wine vinegar.
This is to go with some Bulgogi I bought. I'm also going to have some Kimchi and rice.
Then I made a Carne Asada Marinade.
1 cup orange juice (fresh), 1 cup lime juice (fresh), 1 bunch cilantro, 1/3 cup olive oil, a little vinegar, fresh jalapeno, soy sauce, cumin, garlic, salt, pepper.
Poured this over 2.5lbs flank steak. This is going to be the meat for the vampiro tacos tomorrow.
Now I need to cook the Bulgogi once the rice is done.
I've been cooking since 6:30pm and it's 10:40pm now. Still a little left to do but then I'll have a delicious dinner and an even better dinner tomorrow.
