Our family loves this-even the little ones down to Sophie. It is our version of the Americas and Amazon restaurants in Houston that we miss lots.
Fried Plantains
3 plantains, peeled and thinly sliced ( I use the food processor)
Heat oil and fry in a skillet until browned. Remove and salt.
Chimichurri
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch parsely
1/2 bunch cilantro
juice of lime or lemon or both
olive oil
Kosher or sea salt to taste
I put all in the food processor and then add more olive oil to get the right consistancy for dipping or spooning over grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
I crumble some cotija cheese over the warm plantain chips (a tip from a Thunderbird wife from Venezuela)
We never have any leftovers.
Serve with grilled meat, thinly sliced cooked carrots, avacado & black beans.
This is Us
This is Me, Blogging because I don't want to forget.
"There is one picture of the three of them, sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."--Anna Quindlen

And that meal woulnd't be complete without the table side s'mores! I remember making that at our house. I will have to try it again...I think mom has a food processor.
I love the cojita cheese, so good. We just ate at the Amazon Grill over spring-break when my sisters came for a visit. I thought of you.
