N.B. This is a variation on a recipe whose name shall go unmentioned, because I’m pissed off at Mexico (and Mexican nationals) in general for encouraging and actively aiding an invasion of this country, so, as much as is possible, I’m deleting my knowledge and use of Spanish in general and any remotely positive Mexican references in particular from my vocabulary.
Ingredients:
28oz can of green sauce (avoiding the “e” word) or an equal amount of pureed green chiles.
8oz can of green chiles
1.5 pound pork roast, fully cooked and cubed
1 chopped yellow onion
16oz (or thereabouts) can of cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
16oz (or thereabouts) can of either white hominey or plain white corn–with liquid
1/2 cup rice
1 cup water
Prep:
Sautee the onions and brown the cubed, pre-cooked pork roast. Add everything to a slow cooker and let it come together for a while; use your best judgement. Eat with gusto. (Make your own gusto to taste.)
Next time, I plan on making this with beer substituted for the liquids–the plain water and water from the corn or hominey cans. A nice light ale to start, I think, though the recipe as is goes well with a medium amber ale with just a touch of hopsiness.
Oh suuuuuuure. you won’t speak their language, but you’ll eat their food!
Kidding.
Sounds yummy.
Yeh, Mel, in spite of four years of Spanish classes, living in a border town and starting off life after college teaching in a “barrio” school, when I was approached by some folks in WallyWorld recently with a question, I pretended complete ignorance of what they asked and replied, “I’m sorry you don’t speak English. You really need to learn it if you want to live here.”
One of their children translated both ways… and did a good job.
I’m serious about this invasion crap. If the fedgov would put a “bounty” of $5K/head on illegals, I could retire a very, very wealthy man w/in a month, just from the illegals here in America’s Third World County that I know of. I get pissed off when I hear about a new “ELL” (the new codespeak for what used to be called “ESL” and before that didn’t exist) teacher hire for our public schools. Using fedgov money extorted from citizens. To enable an alien invasion of our country. I used to think of Spanish as a beautiful language (although, frankly, I have preferred Italian and even German for years), but as it has intruded more and more (all that Presione 1 para el español shit) into MY life, without, on balance, adding one damn useful thing to our nation’s society, I have gotten more and more pissed off at Mexico and even the Spanish language itself. So, until our Southern border is SEALED and ONLY those entering legally are allowed in (and those who are here illegally are kicked the hell out!), I’m swearing off Spanish.
It really is infuriating. I was kidding but now I wonder when you will swear off mexican food. 🙂
I’ll always have TEX-mex food. 🙂
