Some of the best recipes are odd recipes. I heard of someone the other day that had a mashed banana on toast with raspberry jam,wtf.lol.

There's a restaurant in NOLA called Johnny Sanchez, which is a collaboration between Aaron Sanchez and John Besh. One of their signature items is a meatball taco. The meatballs have roasted poblano peppers, onion and garlic puree plus cotija cheese, as well as some other things. I came up with a copycat version. We had that with an avocado salad tonight.

Looks good. I can see how that works.

Reminds me of the Soul food/Mexican restaurant Nacho Mamas.
 
I took my daughter out for lunch yesterday after we spent the morning working at the Farmers Markets - American BBQ is all the rage here now but THE must go place doesn’t do lunch so we went to a lovely cafe my work gets to cater our morning teas.

Very pretty cup of coffee.
