La Cruisine De Reference

This is the biggest, most complete illustrated cookbook I ever came across.

Too bad it is in French and I cannot read it. If someone want to translate it for me, you will be my hero.

Chorizo lettuce wrap

I've been on a chorizo kick lately. I've probably had it at Mexican restaurants 3 or 4 times in the last week. I decided to make some at home. Well, not making chorizo, but using them to make stuff. I didn't want to make tacos, or burritos because I can get them at restaurants and they can make them better than I can. So I'm making lettuce wraps with them.

1 lb of chorizo
a small yellow onion
garlic powder
cilantro
romaine lettuce



This is beyond easy to make. Take the chorizo out of the casing and put it in a large pan on medium heat. Add garlic powder and smoosh the meat. Let that cook for a few minutes. Once fat is rendered add the diced onion. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the onion is soft.

Take the pan off of the heat and add chopped cilantro and fold it in evenly.


Check out my brand new pan. Bought some new stainless steel pots and pan.

Then take a leaf of lettuce and wrap the chorizo in there.



This stuff is delicious. It is a mess to eat though. The leaves I got is not nearly big enough to wrap the meat neatly. By the end of the meal I was covered in orange grease. Absolutely worth it.
