Borracho Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes and jalapenos into a saucepan, and pour the beer over them. Add enough water so that the tomatoes and jalapenos are covered. Simmer over medium heat until soft. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
• Transfer the tomatoes and jalapenos to a blender, and add the garlic and onion. Pulse until well blended. Add some of the cooking liquid to help with blending if necessary. Taste, and season with salt.

Steps:

• Cook the chiles in a dry saute pan over high heat turning constantly until slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle, cut them in half and remove the seeds. Tear them into small pieces and add them to a blender.
• Add the orange juice, tequila, garlic and olive oil to the blender. Puree the salsa and add it to the same saute pan used to toast the chiles. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cool completely. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with crumbled anejo cheese.

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, stir to combine all ingredients except the cilantro and lime wedges. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano. In ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil and brown chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Reduce heat, add onion and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves, wine, tequila, and olives. Return chicken to the pan, cover, and cook in the oven until tender and browned, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 8 mini bundt cake molds. Sprinkle walnuts in bottom of molds, dividing equally. In a smaller bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, 2 at a time. Beat in vanilla and 10 tablespoons dark rum. Gradually beat in dry ingredients. Divide mixture between mini bundt cake molds. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden.
• Combine 1/2 cup rum, 1/2 stick butter, water, sugar, orange juice and grated orange peel in medium saucepan. Boil until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Invert warm cakes onto plates. Using a toothpick, poke holes into top of individual cakes (this will help absorb the syrup better). Pour warm glaze over warm cakes, dividing equally. Let cool slightly but serve warm. Garnish with mint sprigs and orange peel strips.

Steps:

• Place pinto beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towel to drain, reserving the bacon drippings. Chop the bacon.
• Drain and rinse pinto beans; transfer to a large pot. Pour enough water over the beans to cover by several inches Stir salt and garlic powder into the water; bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Add bacon, reserved bacon drippings, beer, cilantro, green onions, diced tomatoes, and jalapeno pepper to the water; bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the beans are completely tender, 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Sort through the beans, looking for small rocks and debris. Place in large bowl and rinse several times. Remove beans by hand into a clean bowl of water. (Do not pour beans out of the rinse bowl, as there may be sand and debris at the bottom of rinse bowl.) Fill the bowl with the newly rinsed beans with water and soak beans overnight.
• Drain off soaking water. In a large soup pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add beans and dark beer. Add garlic, Kosher salt, onion powder and chili powder to beans and beer. Lower the heat to simmer, cover pan and cook about 2 hours, or until beans are tender. When the beans are light brown and soft, add the cumin, Mexican oregano and jalapeno peppers.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry bacon pieces and onions until bacon is crisp. Add to beans.
• Last, but not least, add the cilantro and fresh roma romatoes. Simmer for another hour.

Steps:

• Soak beans in a large pot of water overnight.
• Drain beans, and refill the pot with chicken stock and enough water to cover the beans with 2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir the beans occasionally through out the entire cooking process to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Stir beer, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and cilantro into the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender.
• With a potato masher, crush the beans slightly to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Soak your beans. (This very important if you want tender beans). Bring beans to boil in 8-10 cups of water. Remove from heat covered. Let the beans soak for 1 hour.
• Strain the beans, and discard water. Bring another 8 cups of water, and 32 ounces of chicken stock to a boil.
• While beans are starting to boil, trim the ham hocks of fat; leave fat in large pieces. Cut the meat into small bite-size pieces. Put all into pot. (Remove fat and bones when your beans are done.).
• Cut veggies into small pieces, then combine veggies, meat, fat, and spices into large stock pot or dutch oven and simmer for at least 2 1/2 hours, or until tender. Remove fat when finished. Taste, add more seasoning if needed.

Steps:

• Heat up your grill to high.
• Brush the onions with olive oil and salt and char them on the grill.
• Do the same with all the peppers and tomatoes (do not oil or salt) placing them in a covered container when blackened on the outside.
• By placing all the components in a covered container they will steam together and render a charred veggie stock in the bottom of the container.
• When they have sat for 1/2 hour remove and let cool.
• Remove the stems from the peppers and the cores from the tomatoes then roughly chop the elements in a food processor.
• In a saucepan, bring your chicken stock to a simmer then add the veggie puree and half the cilantro.
• While stirring, reduce the mixture to the original consistency of the puree.
• Add the dark beer and lime juice and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the tequila and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Finish with the rest of the cilantro and salt to taste.

Steps:

• Wash the beans thoroughly in cold water, discarding any stones or rotten beans.
• Place the beans in a wide, short saucepot (rondeau), and cover with water by 2 inches. Cook for 30 minutes, and then, add the tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and beer. Cook until the beans are tender, about another 30 minutes.
• With a potato masher, crush the beans, to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Sort the beans to remove any stones or grit. Rinse the beans in a colander and place in a large pan with the water and beer. Add the garlic, onion, epazote (if using), chile powder, cumin, pork or bacon, tomatoes, and salt.
• Boil the beans for an hour and then reduce to a simmer and cook over very low heat until soft (12 hours in crockpot or other slow cooker works best). Keep the level of the broth a good inch or so above the beans, and add more water as needed. Serve with broth in a bowl as a side dish.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a 2-quart pot. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove some bacon grease, as needed, to keep from boiling the bacon. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Add onion to the pot; saute in the remaining bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chopped jalapeno; saute until starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the bacon, pinto beans, tomatoes, water, green onion, cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and chipotle to the onion mixture. Bring to a slow boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and flavors meld, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium sized sauce pan, fry bacon and onion until the bacon is crisp (stirring often to make sure onion doesn't burn).
• add pinto beans, ro-tel tomatoes, chilies, garlic and beer to the pot.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes or until the sauce is to your desired thickness (if you have longer, it's better!).

• Blend in flour.
• Gradually add broth, stirring to keep smooth.
