Ibérico Ham: Crazy Good But Worth the Price?
Is there a chance that once all the hype dies down that so will the price of the ham? I just brought back some shrink wrapped bellota in my suitcase with no problem. Best if you know if someone who is traveling to Spain or Portugal (El Corte Ingles is a department store in both countries) can do the same for you.

I too made this last night with 3 pounds of tomatillos and one serrano (I'm afraid of chilies) from the Greenmarket. Certainly the juice of 3 limes was plenty, served it will fried potatoes and brocolli. Just a great dish and so easy....and healthy! Thanks Mario!!!! I look forward to more recipes to add to my Batali recipe collection.

Serious Sandwiches: Merguez Frites
Having to see the picture for this entry makes me overcome with sadness because I WANT THAT SANDWICH.
Serious Sandwiches: Merguez Frites
Merguez rock. Reminds me of the Kosher sandwich place in Casablanca and their outstanding merguez sandwiches. Mmmmmm. I've found merguez in middle-eastern markets around the DC area, if you live in a big American city you just have to hunt down a Lebanese or Moroccan and ask them where they shop...

Gyros with fries are the perfect late-night food in Paris, when you only have one hand to spare for both your fries and your meat, and Middle Eastern vendors are the only places open. Putting Merguez sausage in there sounds amazing! I can't wait to try.

Where can I get a good merguez sausage in Philadelphia?
Serious Sandwiches: Merguez Frites
Those sandwiches saved my life a few times in France when I had it with bar sandwiches like the infamous jambon-beurre. I must say though that I have a weekness for the "grec" which is a similiar sandwich filled with gyro (yee-ro). And by gyro I mean the real stuff, not the gross meat-like substance that passes for it in the US and Canada.
Oh, now for some extrapolated reason I want and andouillette sandwich. Darn you, internet!

Mario Unclogged: Leo Maya's Chicken with Green Sauce
So, I had to make this with regular red tomatoes, because my grocery store was mysteriously out of tomatillos. The good news is that it was still delicious! I added more chili peppers, because I like it spicier, and I also added half a white onion. I served it with warm corn tortillas, feta cheese, scallions, and Frank's Hot Sauce--it was fabulous and easy.
Just one question: what kind of pan did everyone else cook this in?

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! I am 52 years old, and this is by far the best chicken dish i have ever had, anywhere, in my entire life!!!!!!!
I added 1/2 teasp.cumin, 1 tomato, 1 anaheim chile, 2 oz olive oil, a dash of rice vinegar, 1/2 cup green olives and 1 onion to the simmer process. I also added 3 serrano chiles--the top of my head is still sweating-but worth every bite!
Ibérico Ham: Crazy Good But Worth the Price?
i had iberico ham while in europe -- i was visiting friends in spain -- and i'd have to agree it's something totally special and worth the splurge. especially since you don't have to eat mass quantities to be satisfied.
