The first Sunday Night Game is three weeks away, but it's a tough one. I'm going to need advice.
Denver has a lot of possibilities - Colorado lamb, Denver omelette. According to Wikipedia, the city is "famous for its dedication to New Mexican cuisine and the Chile."
Yes!
What really caught my eye, however, came next: the Colorado burrito. Never heard of it, but look at this recipe. Just a couple of ingredients and in the crock pot? Sold!
But how am I going to get Indianapolis in there? When I googled "foods Indianapolis is known for," I got pork tenderloin sandwiches, corn, and sugar pie. I guess corn could go in the Colorado burrito, and I could serve the whole thing with Tiberian Inquisitor from 3 Floyds. Kinda seems like cheating, doesn't it?
How about pierogi stuffed with Colorado burrito filling? (Pierogi totally count.* There's a festival) Or a pork tenderloin sandwich topped with it?
Do you see why I started three weeks in advance?
VA
*Rob has already pooh-poohed the pierogi idea. That makes me sad, but I probably couldn't make pierogi from scratch.
Hash Brownies for dessert?
ReplyDeleteI'm totally into the idea of topping the breaded tenderloin with the burrito filling. You could construct it like a torta on a Mexican roll with lettuce, tomato, and chopped white onions.
ReplyDeleteYou could also incorporate corn into the whole tex mex situation by making a side of elotes with green chile crema instead of mayo.
OOH! Or get rid of the bread altogether and make it like braciole--burrito filling and cheese rolled in thin slices of pork tenderloin and stewed in the burrito sauce ON A BED OF sweet corn salad.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, girl! I love the second idea. I read this comment at my mom's just after she handed me this recipe from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

I have no idea what spiedini, but is that what you imagined?
Next question. Is it still a dish inspired by Indianapolis if it's not a pork tenderloin sandwich?
