Let's get Political, political!
I didn't cook much over the weekend, just a big batch of Caldo Verde to take to work this weekend. I of course took liberties with the recipe, not because I wanted to but because I was missing 2 crucial ingredients: potatoes and chorizo. Ooops.
Here's my modified version, "Caldo Verde-esqe"
1/2 yellow onion
5 cloves garlic
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 cups chicken stock
1oz pancetta, diced finely or sliced, pan fried
1 bunch kale, chiffonaded
Salt & pepper to taste
Sweat the onions in a little olive oil, then add the garlic. Cook very gently until they are tender and fragrant. Add the chicken stock and rice and cook the whole thing about a half hour. Puree the soup, then add more water to the desired consistency. Add the pancetta and the kale and cook for just a few minutes more. Serve!
POLITICS:
Disturbingly, all of a sudden I've noticed that the 2 State Legislative elections for my district are COMPLETELY UNOPPOSED. That's, um, interesting....
Here's a great information link via the NY Times for all elections in the state of New Mexico: NM State Elections.
Don't forget the general info about being a New Mexico elected official: salary, requirements, etc.
More food news will come, I promise!
