I spent all of last month researching Mexican dishes and I wrote my own recipes for a few things... and then I got sick. The stomach bug of the century. Barely eating for a week, and when mom doesn't eat... no one else does.
Well, they eat... but not a lot of cooking happens. Mexican food is just too heavy and spicy for my stomach even a week after I recovered.
Fortunately about a week before I got sick I made this stew. Now it's not Mexican... but no one can deny the influence Spain has had on Mexican cuisine. I mean, they both use Chorizo, right?
Before I looked into Mexican food I didn't realize that there are two different kinds of chorizo. The Spanish which is hard and cured, and the Mexican which is a fresh sausage that has similar seasoning like it's Spanish cousin....All so interesting... can't wait to check out your Mexican dishes.
