It looks like Herdez is discontinuing the Hot Salsa Ranchera and only has the Medium version. I bought a can of the medium, and haven’t tried it yet… but saw something I wrote previously that says the medium is still plenty hot.
Compare Foods had a couple of varieties of small onions for $2.99 a pound. There were white and copper colored pearl
onions and an onion that looked like Cipollini. I mixed them together since they were all the same price.
I was frying some boneless pork chops on the stove top, with a little Agave nectar and a little mango powder. *I had gotten the
Amchur powder at the Indian Market in Apex, NC. The powder has a hint of citrus, although I don’t think of a mango being a citrus fruit.
I put a mixture of some of the small onions in my
microwave onion cooker and set it for about a minute and a half. I took the pork chops out of the pan and
added some sliced okra (no breading) and a little olive oil to cook them. Natures Seasoning (Mary Ann’s & Aunt Sis’s contribution) while frying the okra.
After the okra were done, I took the onions out of the microwave and added them to the pan. Just a few minutes to give them a little color and more flavor.
I had some Jewish Rye Bread, so I made a sandwich of some of the pork chops and some mayo. The pork was good! The okra were good! The little onions were good! *I forgot to mention that I didn’t peel the onions, which provided them with a rustic quality. You can pull off some of the onion husk easily, but sucking the sweet onion from the husk is also a pleasure.
