Wrapping it up

Okay, I feel guilty about culture schilling for Kraft so I figure I ought to push some homemade food. Tonight I felt a bit lazy so I made wraps. I had been thinking about the 1988 film, The Milagro Beanfield War, (which is actually on the idiot box as I type - great film) and got in the mood for some Hispanic flavours. I used some pork shoulder that I had steamed for four hours last night and proceeded thusly:

- Sauteed steamed pork in olive oil on medium/low heat with two cloves of garlic, diced onion and chilis - including chipolte.
- As they cook together, I added 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, 1/8 a cup of parsley and a pinch of hot paprika.
- I added a small amount of 5 year old English cheddar.
- Lastly, I added in some brown rice and black beans and sauteed it with the rest of the ingredients for about five minutes.
- I rolled it all in white flour tortillas and consumed.

Gotta say, it was damned tasty. Geo - learn to love the cilantro.

Cilantro. My husband is so ambivalent about it. He says he hates it, but when I cook my Indian chicken/yogurt think he doesn't seem to mind. I'll bet I could grow some out on my balcony...

It just is so GREEN tasting...

Green is good. Fresh, alive, bright. Damn, I gotta get me more cilantro.

Me no likey cilantro.
Unfortunately, to me it tastes like the taste you get in the back of your throat after you vomit. Not something I like when I'm eating...a little bit is OK, but too much and I jsut get nauseus. I think I need to learn "how much" is enough...

Sad, sad, sad.
