I love achiote pork... I made my own marinade using achiote paste, garlic, sour orange, etc following Rick Bayless recipe on his website.  Then after wrapping in banana leaf, I would smoke it on my stovetop smoker for 30 minutes or so before I put it in the SV...  I always enjoyed it... but I think I would also squeeze some lime on the tacos as well.

 

 

I looked at this Bayless recipe, where he gives instructions for making the paste from seeds. Is that the one you use? If I make it again, I will try making the paste myself. 

 

And yes, for some reason I forgot a lime on the kitchen counter which I had meant to slice and serve with the meat! That would have helped to brighten the flavour, I'm sure.   😄

This looks like it, but the original recipe I saw also had instructions for making it in a pit in the ground in your backyard... hehe....  I forgot about the habanero salsa.. that salsa makes it!

Dinner last night was going to be a mixed salad with grilled haloumi, then a large storm rolled in mid afternoon and the temperature dropped by many degrees. So, plan B was enacted. Boiled casierici pasta mixed with a cheese sauce, chopped beer butter mushrooms and a can of chilli tuna. More cheese on top, (vintage cheddar and parmesan), then baked in the oven. Served with a small salad.

I would kill for a good source of tamales!! We get by on the pork and red sauce ones from TJ's, which I keep in the freezer and bring to life in the IP. I add some homemade pico de gallo and sour cream. They make us happy, but we long for better!!!!

e to have some kind of bread to eat with anything saucy - gotta drag the bread through the leftover sauce.  I couldn't face stopping at the store today, so leftover hamburger buns it was.

 As  a European yup bread to swipe sauce no matter the kind !  Not me right now but it is my history,

Broccoli, mac and cheese "shakshuka". Cheddar based mornay sauce, with some mustard. Mixed with sauteed broccoli and macaroni. Topped with eggs and cooked just until soft.

Pickled chili and "rustic" baguette.

That mini baking steel - I have the large one in my oven, but schlepping it in and out of the oven was not in the cards, so I picked up the little one top stay on the stovetop.

Found several sashimi specialists near my lodging so I got a few things from different places and put together my own picnics. Interestingly, the fishmongers are usually women.

I devote my sashimi-eating life to Japan.

Kinda like American comfort food "tuna noodle casserole" BUT tell us about "chili tuna" ?!

 

Gee, can’t you guys buy chilli tuna ? It’s regular tuna, canned with a chilli which flavours the oil and the tuna. I nearly always buy the chilli tuna. My favourite brand is Serena, but all brands have a chilli option :)

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Relatively easy to find chilli tuna here in China, too. Also, fermented black bean tuna.

It turns up in Canadian supermarkets, though it's certainly not a popular/mainstream item. If you look in the wee section of shelf where they keep specialty versions (tuna in mustard, tuna with herbs and lemon, etc) you'll also see tuna with chilies.

 

Personally, I'm happy just to see tuna in oil finally getting some traction. For the longest time Clover Leaf was the only brand I could find consistently, but now Rio and a couple of others are reliably available. I don't eat a lot of tuna these days, but oil-packed is so vastly superior I just refuse to buy the water-packed kind.
