"Southwestern gumbo": Sage-garlic sausage, chicken thighs, onion, red
bell pepper, jalapeño, celery, and cactus. I only used one jalapeño,
but it was surprisingly spicy.

Stuffed broccoli leaves: broccoli leaves stuffed with a mixture of
fresh corn, shallots, cumin, and coriander. I was going for something
akin to stuffed grape leaves but with a Southwestern flavor; it worked
out pretty well.

We drank beer with the meal.
