Nice

There I was...on the LUEM42 website, reading all about software and links. Then I saw a link for recipes. On a geek site? Of course I had to follow it and here it is.

Sounds Good!

Speaking of Tia Rosa Tortilla Bread...(made by Bimbo Bakery, the second largest tortilla maker in the US. #1 in Mexico. Also the baker of Orowheat breads) here's a recipe I found while Google'ing "Tia Rosa Tortilla Bread"

Here's the 4 pictures that didn't make it into the last post...did I forget to mention the mushrooms? Yep. Put mushrooms in if you like them. I do.
Onions and garlic, cooked and waiting.

Now we're ready

Lamb Stew

Made a good lamb stew tonight. Started with about a pound of lamb stew meat from Raley's, 4 red potatoes, one small yellow onion, some carrots, 4 cloves of garlic and a little bit of green Bell pepper for additional color color.

I cooked the onion and garlic (minced) in the pan with a little olive oil until the onions were soft and golden before setting them aside. Then I cooked the stew meat for about ten minutes in the same pan.
I had a 6x8 dish and I layered 1/2 of the potatoes and carrots on the bottom (carrots were sliced in half, lengthwise)

before adding the lamb and the onion/garlic mixture on top of that.

Then a final layer of potatoes and carrots before adding the 'secret' ingredient...turkey stock, 2 cups. We found these at Raley's for .99 cents each... Turkey broth is more intense than chicken broth, but hard to find. We took the last 4 cartons from the store.

Then I garnished it with the Bell peppers before putting it in a 350 oven for almost 2 hours. I covered the dish with foil for the last 30 minutes.

Spices? Yes! I added fresh ground pepper at each layer and then a liberal shake of Greek seasoning over the top.

It was quite good. Obviously you can add anything you like to a stew like this and it will still be great. I might have used less turkey stock...there was a lot of liquid left in the dish. Maybe 1-1/2 cups instead of 2. And I used red potatoes, you might like another variety. Celery would have been good.

I would have included a few more pictures...but Blogger limited me to 5.

Tuna Burgers re-visited

First you need some tortilla bread, like this...

Good looking bread!

Mix the 2 cans of tuna (drained) with the ingredients of your choice. I used 1 egg, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 tbs of tomato paste, pickle relish, 2 tbs mayonaise, assorted spices - your choice. Be creative and add anything you like to this recipe. I've never made it the same way twice.

Form the mixture into patties that will fit within a tortilla bread folded in half and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. My two cans of tuna made 4 patties.

When cooked; place the tuna burger between a folded piece of tortilla bread (warmed) and add the usual condiments, onion, lettuce, tomato, etc.
