Braised Wild Boar Soft Tacos

By
Brian - "the best killer in the family" according to Dylan - hunts wild boar in south Monterey County on a regular basis. So, we get boar meat from him every so often. This weekend he gave me a chunk of leg which I braised in a red wine-tomato sauce with fresh oregano and sweet vidalia onions. We feasted on it for dinner last night with steamed broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes.

For lunch today, I revamped the boar for a quick, easy lunch: soft tacos.

shredded meat
small flour or corn tortillas
cheese
tomatillo salsa
avocado
fresh cilantro

Heat the tortillas quickly on a skillet, layering it with cheese and meat. Once the cheese is melted and the meat warmed through, top with cubes of avocados. Generously spoon on tomatillo salsa and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
