Love Mexican Food but don’t see many such recipies, Would very much like to see Green Chili as an Ingredient of the day, particularly interested in a Green Chili Sauce for smothered burritos…
Love this recipie site, absolutely the only place to go … TY… Cowgirl
Thanks for your kind words Cowgirl.
I think that’s a good suggestion. I’ll mention it to the moderator for that topic.
Best Regards,
Ron
I’m sure others too would appreciate the Flavors of Mexico, if not now, all they have to do is give it a try…esp. so with Smothered Green Burrito… a sauce that goes well with a tossed salad, eggs, spices up just about anything…TY …Cowgirl
Game Hens in Salsa Verde
10 Garlic Cloves, chopped
1 Lime, juiced
1 bunch Cilantro, finely chopped
½ Fresh green chili, seeded and chopped
1 t. Cumin
4 Game hens
1 ½ C Crème fraîche (fresh cream)
1 Red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded & diced
¼ - 1 t. Sauce from can of Chipotle in adobo, or Chipotle salsa
3-5 Scallions, thinly sliced
Handful Toasted pumpkin seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
- Combine about 9 garlic cloves with the limejuice, about three quarters of fresh cilantro, the green chili, and half the cumin in a bowl. Press the mixture on to the game hens and leave to marinate for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator or preferably over night.
- Place the game hens in a roasting pan and cook in preheated oven at 400o F for 15 minutes. Remove one from the oven at this point to check whether it is cooked: pierce the thigh with a knife and if the juices run clear, the bird is cooked. If necessary, return to the oven and continue to roast until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix the crème fraîche with the bell pepper, Chipotle marinade, and remaining garlic and cumin. Set aside.
- Serve each game hen with a spoonful of the pepper sauce and a sprinkling of the remaining cilantro, the scallions, and pumpkin seeds. Serve right away.
I love Mexican Food! And with gardening season upon us here is another use for Zucchini.
