How many dishes do you know of that were originally inspired by a Frank Zappa song? I'm guessing not many. Motivated by Zappa's lyrics from his song Jewish Princess: "I want a dainty little Jewish princess with a couple of sisters who can raise a few blisters," Kenny Shopsin, author of this week's Cook the Book selection, Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin, went into his kitchen with no clue what to make.
What he came up with consists of corn tortillas topped with fresh arugula, rice, black beans, and a sunny side-up egg. Spice it with as much jalapeño as you like. This dish makes for a very hearty brunch, and, in my opinion, is just begging to be paired with a Bloody Mary.
