Hell yeah, mexican food is great. I've only made generic tacos and burritos, nothing authentic. I'd be interested in the asshole straining (not necessarily just food-situation depending) recipes too

Tacos de cecina. The version I make is an Aaron Sanchez recipe. You butterfly and pound flat a couple pork tenderloins and marinate them. Marinade is simple. Iirc its guajillo chili, oil, vinegar, garlic, Mex oregano and probably some salt and pepper. After marinated, grill the tenderloins then chop em up andb throw them on corn tortillas with onion and cilantro. Its good shit, and not spicy.

This one sounds good, and easy enough that I might be able to keep my attention level at work long enough to prepare it.

Sweet baby Jesus that sounds good. Now I know what I'm making tomorrow.

Personally you can make any food you want but unless you have the right salsa for your food (in my case it would be salsa verde) then it's pointless.

My favorite? Probably slow braised goat, put that into simple tacos with fresh chopped onion, cilantro, a squeeze of lime and some nice green hot sauce i make from fermented serranos and garlic. I braise a goat ass in some chicken stock/beer with some dried chilis (whatever I have lying around) and garlic, then shred the meat for tacos/burritos/chimichangas, etc...

I've only had goat once, unfortunately. One of my good friends in Maryland is Jamaican and he invited me to house party thrown by a Jamaican doctor friend of his. They served goat soup/stew near the end of the night. It was one of the best tasting dishes I've ever had.

I honestly think goat is the most underrated meat. Not as rich as lamb, not as mild as pork. When I start homesteading on a larger scale I'll raise them. It won't be easy to slaughter, because they are kind of cute, but I'll put them to good use. I look forward to roasting them whole leaned over a nice fire outside.

Another good recipe is the classic "quesadilla"

Take a stick of butter, melt in in your "comal" and then put as many "tortillas" in the "comal" and put a bunch of kraft singles on top of the "tortillas"

add whatever other filling you like. I like those pickled "jalepenos" or maybe try "chipotle" peppers in "adobo"

put more "tortillas" on top of all this and then flip them over so that they get nice and crispy. Take them out of the "comal" and put them on a plate, garnish with some fresh "cilantro" for an authentic Aztec dish.

Grimson agrees....

Yeah, from what I remember, it wasn't gamey like lamb, and had a much deeper flavor than pork. I want to do that leaned over a fire roast one day, also.

HHM, you like seafood? We should do a barter, you send me some shit off the farm, and I'll send you a whole bunch of fresh fish(redfish, snook, snapper) and crabs(stone crab claws) and picked blue crab meat.

I'm approximately 3 years off from moving into my new homestead (hopefully a 30 acre building lot, pasture adjacent to my inlaws' grassfed beef operation if we can get the investors to sell it) and then I will absolutely take you up on a swap arrangement! We already trade our elite grass fed beef for local lamb and awesome eggs for raw milk, but have no decent seafood source outside of an overpriced co-op. I'm planning on rehabbing the inlaws' pond to raise catfish and tilapia (ghetto fish, but we got a decent sized pond for overabundance) and am investigating introducing crawfish to the spring-fed stream that runs through the wooded acreage, but you can't really get crabs going in southern Ohio. If you got good crabs, we'll figure out a way to ship whatever beef, goat, and layer chickens (these mofos make the richest broth you've never had) for whatever primo seafood you can fly out our way. When we start doing fat pigs, you might be interested in some special spreadable lard I've been working with lately.

Props for homesteading man. The stuff you're going to teach your children is priceless. Keep on keeping on, hhm.
