I've missed two days of posting due to computer problems...this is a new computer and, according to the tech, is faulty from the factory 
She's got it back to working more reliably until we can get it into the shop, and so I was able to get a new recipe posted: my favourite Mexican dish, Chile Verde (svcooks.blogspot.com/2009/06/chili-verde.html)
Man, I love this stuff, especially in burritos. But it makes a fabulous dinner...ladle it over rice for a filling meal...and if you have any leftovers (we never do), it does freeze well.
One ingredient, tomatillos, is part of the authentic Chile Verde, but only available in limited areas. Rest assured, the dish tastes wonderful without them, so don't worry if tomatillos are not available in your town.
Chile Verde is my favourite Mexican dish: what is yours?

I love homemade enchilada sauce -
Enchiladas de mole...
Actually that and those incredible fresh mangoes and papayas down on the Mexican coast that taste so much better than any I can find up here in the northeastern U.S.... -
The best enchilada sauce is the mole (pronounced mo-lay for those of you who think we are talking about the burrowing animal!) sauce, a very complex piece of cookery!
Now that I don't have to put in 40 hours + a commute, I may just experiment with making some.
I do love enchiladas, but use a tinned sauce just because of the time involved in the homemade ones. Tamales are delish, but I've never had the time to learn to make them, and here in SA I can't get masa harina anyway.
Anybody wanna send Sweet Violet a Christmas prezzie this year, a bag of Masa Harina would be welcome! (kidding!!) -
I don't have a favorite ethnic food, I like a little from various types.
My actual favorite dish/meal is likely a pan fried Lake Trout with some Rice Pilaf.
I know, kind of boring.-
You can punch up that trout by making it Trout Amandine, which goes wonderfully with rice pilaf.
Get some sliced almonds. Put butter in a skillet and heat until the butter starts to brown. Add the almonds and stir them around to brown a bit. Take care not to let the butter burn.
Remove from heat and pour almonds and browned butter over the cooked trout. Voila! Trout Amandine!! -
Sounds good...
but I'm alergic to nuts. :-)
I'd blow up like a puff fish and itch like a flea bitten dog.

Tacos with everything in them.-
Soft tacos or hard?
I have a taco recipe on the list, it will be coming soon! -
Hard tacos!
*crunch*

I've only ever had them in Mexico...they didn't seem to be a menu item in the Mexican restaurants I frequented.
If you like Huevos Rancheros, you might like Egg Chutney (which is a curry that contains eggs). It sounded gross the first time I heard of it, but it is actually quite tasty! It will be a future offering on the recipe blog. -
Hm, that does sound a little icky, but I'll look it up and see what's in it. Sometimes things that LOOK icky are yummy ... although, at the moment I can't think of an example, because I don't like oatmeal or corned beef hash. Ew.

I like enchiladas with salsa verde
and tacos de tinga-
I've never heard of tacos de tinga...would you like to enlighten me?
-
its tacos stuffed with amixture of shreded chicken, sausage, tomatoes, onions and of course peppers. (among other ingredients)

I love Mexican food! I love a good burrito with chicken, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa verde, onions, black beams and guacamole.
I also love good beef tacos, soft and hard and don't skimp on the beans and rice! -
Migas!!! -
Italian-
I have some fabulous Italian recipes.
Lasagne
Stuffed shells
Vegetarian and meat sauces
Lobster sauce
Pasta Primavera
Chicken and Garlic Linguine
Chicken or Veal Piccata
Should I put them up after I'm not with my Mexican obsession? -
Lobster sauce I'll have to steer clear from I have some pretty severe fish/ seafood allergies. Most definitely yes!
-
-
Italian food, look all kinds but Italian food is my fav. -
We make chicken fajitas at our place, marinating the chicken in lime juice and fresh oregano and grilling. OMG, it is absolutely mi favorita. We also make fresh salsa with tomato, garlic, lime, onion, cilantro, and chiles... it's addictive.
(Thanks Violet. I know what to make for supper now!)
-
Lime juice can be substituted for lemon juice in my recipes, but I specify lemon juice because you can buy it bottled when lemons are not in season. They can be difficult...and costly!...to find in Denver in December or New York in November.
-
That's a good point. Have you tried finding lime juice frozen where you are?

I love homemade Indian (Punjabi) food, my favorite dish is Rajma-Chawal. -
Chinese food. Shrimp in lobster sauce; sweet and sour shrimp; red cooked tofu; chinese mushrooms, etc,. -
I don't really do much Chinese cooking, and I am just learning Indian. My husband is Indian and his mother is helping me. So far I have mastered roti, South Indian-style chicken curry, mince curry, aloo gobi, cauliflower curry, and egg chutney. Not much, I know, but it's a start!
-
If you need any recipe for Indian food, do let me know.

Tacos or a Caribbean hambuger and a nice cold Carib or Pacifico beer while sitting on the beach would be my idea of the perfect eating experience. -
We have burrito night once a week. I steam some flour tortillas and set bowls of ingredients on the table. Everyone grabs whatever they want to stuff their burrito. It's usually chicken, tomatos, cheese, lettuce, black beans, refried beans, olives, spanish rice, salsa... -
why in gods name are you all making me hungry I am big enough....geez...*cough* tacos *cough* -
I love enchiladas and chimichangas!-
You know, I grew up in San Diego and as a child we had "housekeepers" from Mexico, but I never even heard of a chimichanga (or a flauta) until I moved to Tucson in the early 70s (chimichangas were actually invented in Arizona, not Mexico). It was then that I discovered that there are regional Mexican foods, just as there are regional American foods. Since that time I have learned that Sonoran food (those lovely mole sauces!) and Jalisco-style foods are my favourites.
But I don't make deep fried foods, so I don't make chimichangas (or flautas)...although considering the quality of Mexican food in South Africa (dismal!) I may get myself a fryer...

Green chili verde made with pork is a favorite of mine. I love cooking this dish and serving it topped with creama fresca with warm corn tortillas. -
I love Vietnamese Food! Canh Chua, Banh Xeo, Pho... all of it-
There are many Vietnamese people in Silicon Valley, where I lived for 30 years, and so many Vietnamese restaurants. I've tried it several times, but never managed to find anything that really excited me.
I am most partial to Taiwanese food, and love dim sum, but I don't cook them.

At my favorite Mexican restaurant in Rockford, I like their Milanesa with a side order of rice, flour tortillas and - of course - chips and salsa.
Now you've done it... I'm hungry for Mexican food! -
I love chinese style noodles -
Not sure what all the mexican food you all listed here. But I check the food one by one with google image to find out. However, I like spicy! I have try mexican pizza before...
I like many traditional food here in Malaysia like satay, nasi lemak, char kew tiau, roti canai, bak kut teh and so on.-
Check SweetViolets blog and you will know what Mexican Food is all about. She has great recipes worth checking out
