Tonight's recipe was supposed to be simple, and it would have been if I'd only made it once. Ha!! I made a Red Chile and Garlic Oil to go with some grilled shrimp fajitas. The oil had a whole bunch of ingredients that were to be added to the blender until liquified. The first time I made it, it just wasn't liquifying AT ALL!! Then, I realized that I was supposed to saute the garlic "until softened." Yeah, it made a big difference. So, I had to dump that batch out, re-mince the garlic, re-cut the thyme and rosemary, re-add in the chipotle, chili powder, and lime juice, and saute up the garlic and add it in. I mean, it was good, but was it worth it?? Yeah, I suppose it was. It really was quite tasty. I also made some FANTASTIC black beans and rice to go with them!! Not Bobby Flay's recipe, so no pic... but it was awesome!! Plus, I managed to get it all finished before 7pm, which keeps the husband happy!!
On a separate note, LOVING THE SPRING WEATHER!!
You have the best smile in the world!!! I need to get your black bean and rice recipe (not the complicated Flay one). Not that I ever cook. Poor Hubby. Keep cooking and keep smiling. Love, Mom L.
