Title: Carne Asada Taco's and Mussels
Post by: Willy on May 02, 2015, 07:52:22 PM
First decent night for eating outdoors so I made two of our favorites, Carne Asada Taco's and Mussel's with the CEO's spicy broth. Here is how it went.

Outside Skirt trimmed and then I went Medieval on it with the tenderizer. Then plenty of Chef Merito's Carne Rub rubbed in. Let it sit at room temp for about half an hour while the spices meld.

Fresno Chili, an Orange, half a White Onion and about two cups of Orange Juice, in the bag for a few hours.

All the Guac ingredients assembled, 1/4 White onion diced, tomato diced, Cilantro, one Fresno and one Jalapeno diced, garlic diced, Lime juice. Chili's and garlic smashed in the Molcahete first then the Avocado smashed in. Then the other ingredients along with some salt and juice of half a Lime.

Some of the best looking tacos I've seen in a very long time! Would love the recipe for the mussels if possible.

The CEO takes onions garlic fresh parsley, basil and oregano and simmers them in a pot then adds crushed red pepper and a can of crushed tomatoes and simmers it all until time to serve. She steams the Mussels in a steam pot till they are open nicely and then dumps them into the broth and stirs to coat.
No amounts on ingredients with her, it is all by look and taste as she goes.
