This one I haven’t made yet. In fact I’ve never tasted it. But you can tell by reading and looking that this Carne Adovada is a knockout. It’s a New Mexican dish of pork loin marinated in a chilis, oregano and garlic paste. Bake long time at low temp. Shred. Feast.
So you throw a big party and you serve the Three Little Piggies as hot horse dovers [sic].
- First one is a bit of this Asian-inspired ground pork served in an individual leaf of Belgian endive (or other lettuce cup).
- Second one is this Cuban Sloppy Joe served on a toast point or (better) a piece of pressed bread.
- Third one is the Carne Adovada served as suggested on a miniature warm tortilla with avodaco and melted cheddar.
Yes, it’s a lot of pork. That’s the point. We’re talking tiny portions and three VERY different flavors. Make a vegetable platter, a fruit plate, a cheese tray for balance if you must.
You’re making me hungry again! … Acapulco’s in Framingham has great mexican, and a “carne asada”. Not quite the recipe you described (which sounds great!) but they do have good (if not great) food also:

Can I be invited when you throw your pork party? Hmm…I’ll stop there.

Harvey – I think there’s an Acapulco’s in Milford also. It’s good tho we gravitate toward The Alamo. Which coincidentally is owned by the family of Erik Per Sullivan, a kid you’ll recognize from various movies:

Nice people. No pretense.
nope. just me. none of you know me. i’m just a random blog lurker. i came here because i had no one to talk about top chef with.
Ah, Top Chef.
They’ve already set the cast for Season 4, as I understand it.
Now the big question is: Will anyone ever prove as popular as Harold?
p.s. lots of us don’t know each other.
No one will ever be as popular to ME as Harold….I still have a crush on him. I MUST get to NYC someday…..
