Barbacoa

Here's the marinade recipe that I use from my grandfather:

It's in 2 parts. The Portuguese allspice can be made and stored. I use it to make stock for my soups and as a flavor boost for other meat dishes.

--Portuguese allspice--
5 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1 bay leaf, dried and ground as fine as you can
Zest of half a lemon
Zest of half an orange

--add the allspice to these ingredients to make the marinade--
1/2 cup of water
1 cup white wine (cooking wine is OK too)
2 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic

Most likely my favorite Mexican/Hispanic food.

For me it’s a close third behind cochinita pibil and al pastor.

Also, honey mustard dressing sucks.

It was a tragic decision. We had finished lunch service and I had just cleaned the line and put away the food. There were some salads sitting on the prep table so I grabbed a couple for a quick, somewhat healthy lunch. It just so happened that there were a couple of portion cups filled with honey mustard dressing sitting there. So I thought to myself, “I’ll just grab these. How bad can they be?” As it turns out, real bad. I mean, to each their own and all, but how do people eat that shaging poopie? Ew.

In a world currently stocked with IPA, DIPA, DHIPA, DDHIPA, etc. I have to say that this Live Oak Big Bark Amber Lager (Vienna style) is just a refreshing break. So malty, balanced, and smooth.

I like the macro breweries.
Miller Lite. With Tigers baseball.
Really though, I prefer liquor when I drink.

This food is too highfalutin' for me.
I'll have a grilled cheese and tomato soup.

How do you grill soup?
