Happy Tuesday all. I made you a margarita to help you get through the week. You can thank me later. 😉

This libation was the master-child of some recipe testing for my graduation party. Of course we had to test them out a few times.

Old Instagram Photo and a few too many…margaritas!

These margaritas were a total hit for my Mexi-theme grad party! We had a taco cart going and Joe was whipping up these beauties at our DIY party bar. Do you love it?

The secret to these luxurious cocktails is what’s on the rim. My little secret weapon of salt, sugar, spicy cayenne and fresh lime zest. The salty, sweet, spicy and tangy flavors tickle every measure of your senses and trust me (I know from experience), you won’t stop at just 1. Problem or pleasure?

Chili-Lime Mango Margarita

Author: Samantha Ferraro

Ingredients

Mango Margarita

  • 5 chunks frozen mango or about 1 cup
  • 1.5 oz Tequila
  • 1.5 oz Sweet and Sour we used an organic brand which tasted much better than the less expensive variety
  • 1 oz Triple Sec
  • Ice Cubes

Chili-Lime Rim

  • 1/4 cup Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne
  • 1 lime zested and cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Blend all the margarita ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
  • For the rim, use a plate that is wider than your glass. Add all chili-lime rim ingredients together and toss gently in a shallow bowl. Pour into a plate so you can rim your glass.
  • Rim a lime wedge all along the rim of your glass and dip in the chili-lime salt. Pour the margarita in the glass and garnish with extra limes.

Sunday Cooking Project: Falafel Bowls!⁠ ⁠ I li Sunday Cooking Project: Falafel Bowls!⁠
⁠
I like to keep it simple and let the perfectly fried falafel shine.⁠
Then fill with all your favorite Mediterranean bites: chopped salad, cubed feta with a good sprinkle of za'atar, creamy hummus and a good drizzle of tahini yogurt sauce. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
What would you put in your falafel bowl?⁠
.⁠
.⁠
For the full recipe, click on the link in my bio and then on the photo!⁠

⁠
The trick to working with phyllo is to be confident and deliberate! (And to always keep a damp towel over the sheets). ⁠
⁠
Don’t let the phyllo control you..some sheets may crumble and break, but that’s ok, because when it’s all rolled up and stuffed with shallots, cheese and wilted greens, no one will ever suspect. ⁠
⁠
Then sprinkle on a healthy amount of Parmesan, Aleppo and Za’atar, and you my friends have made the most fantastic savory borek. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
(For the full recipe, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo!)⁠
*Quinoa Beet Salad with Blood Orange, Feta and Pom *Quinoa Beet Salad with Blood Orange, Feta and Pomegranate*⁠
⁠
For when you need a pop of color during these cool winter days. So thankful for bright citrus and pomegranate this season. ⁠
⁠
And this is the perfect 'make ahead' salad. Just toss together:⁠
⁠
*cooked quinoa⁠
*roasted yellow beets⁠
*blood orange segments⁠
*crumbled feta cheese⁠
*pomegranate seeds⁠
*fresh mine leaves (but add right at serving or the herbs will wilt). ⁠
*blood orange vinaigrette⁠
⁠
For the full recipe, click on the link in my bio and then on the photo..easy peezy!⁠
⁠
*Tomahawk Steak with Chimichurri Compound Butter*⁠
⁠
Last minute inspiration and a few tips on making a BOMB steak:⁠
⁠
*Remove steak from fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking.⁠
* Season meat liberally with S+P⁠
* Get your cast iron nice and HOT!⁠
* Sear steak until deeply charred (don't touch it), then flip.⁠
 (This is where you can baste with butter and herbs or finish with a compound butter)⁠
*Once steak is done, let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5-10 minutes.⁠
.⁠

*Vegetarian Mezze Platter*⁠ ⁠ This is the true *Vegetarian Mezze Platter*⁠
⁠
This is the true way to my heart. A simple platter full of all my Mediterranean favorites. ⁠
⁠
*Stuffed grape leaves⁠
*Creamy Hummus⁠
*Whole Castelveltrano olives⁠
*Tangy Labneh⁠
*Fresh Fruit and Vegetables ⁠
⁠
How would you personalize a mezze platter?⁠
*Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon*⁠ ⁠ A few yea *Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon*⁠
⁠
A few years ago I participated in an international online celebration for Julia Child's 100th birthday. ⁠
⁠
A handful of us cooked a different JC recipe each week for 100 days leading up to her birthday..it was so fun! ⁠
⁠
And Boeuf Bourguignon was the delicious finale. I've since  made it a good few handful of times and found some shortcuts from the original recipe. (Ssh, don't tell Julia). ⁠
⁠
For instance, Julia insists on BOILING the lardons (or bacon) instead of rendering! ⁠
⁠
Have you made this iconic dish? It's well worth the effort, trust me!⁠
⁠
