51 Porter had a great start to the New Year with a fun cooking adventure with our friend Eric Palilunas who is a chef at Trident Booksellers and Cafe in Boston (www.tridentbookscafe.com). We decided to go with a Mexican theme and cooked up the following items: sweet potato stuffed empanadas, chili rellenos, and Spanish rice.
Here are some general guidelines for the deliciousness that we concocted and some suggestions for ways to add a little more flavor and pop to the items we prepared, because as we all know hindsight in life and cooking is always 20/20!
