Answer 3

What kind of mexican food do you want to make... Something with beef, chicken, shrimp or Fish? You can make Arracherra... Get some from the Meat counter at the Mexican store (ask them to put it through the machine) Marinate it with Lime Juice, Olive Oil and Salt and Pepper. Grill meat. Get a can of Frijoles and make those you can buy Chorizo and little in the Frijoles to season them a bit. Make some white rice with 1 1/2 cups water and one 8 oz can tomato sauce, 1/4 onion cut into thin rings cumin S&P make like regular rice. You can grill some peppers and onions and eat like Fajitas! Good Luck!

Answer 4

Goat knuckle surprise. 2&1/2 lbs of desicated goat knuckles, four onions(skin on), Twelve potatoes (well sprouted), gleaned carrots, 2 cups pig fat, 1 cup flour and cheap brown wine (to taste). In an old metal barrel half, over an open fire, brown the floured goat knuckles in 1/2 the pig fat. add the onions whole as well as the potatoes and carrots and free-pour some of the brown wine until the contents is covered. Simmer uncovered until the liquid reduces to 1/3 and the meat easily falls off the bone and the tendons lose their snap. In a seperate pan, add remaining pig fat to flour and some brown wine. Cook over open flame until it reduces to a thick sause (consistancy of pancake batter) . Plate the contents of the barrel and cover with the sauce and serve - enjoy.

Answer 6

One of the answers was definitely abusive, and intended to be. Avoid horse and pork meat. Even if he's not Muslim, he probably won't be used to pork.
Haven't time to give recipes, but try a site for Turkish food - it's very similar, especially dishes from northern Turkey such as börek. Stuffed vine leaves, stuffed aubergine and peppers. Use minced lamb if you can get it.
