Leftovers for dinner
But they were really good: Friday I marinated a passel of chicken
thighs in mango nectar and guava nectar with chili powder, minced garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. After a couple of hours in the marinade, they got grilled. While they sizzled, I reduced the marinade to a syrup and made a cilantro pesto (poblano, anaheim, cilantro, garlic, toasted pecans, lime juice, olive oil, S&P -- all buzzed in the blender to a pesto) When the chicken was done, I moved it to the smoker pit and let it wait there at 200 F till the guests were ready for dinner. The chicken smoked for about two hours. Then I tossed it with the reduced marinade. The pesto was served on the side. I also made a salad of diced mango, diced avocado, chopped mint, lime juice, olive oil, S&P. My friend Zach made grilled tilapia tacos with cabbage and a fine chipotle sauce. He also made grilled squash and grilled asparagus. D made mojitos. And margaritas. Then there were the sliced melons, the guacamole, the quesadillas, and Lord knows what else. The kitchen looked like a food bomg had detonated inside. So tonight. Tonight it was leftovers. They were fantastic. modom Only superficial people don't judge by appearances. -- Oscar Wilde |

Pablo (BTW, Wayne, I'll be in Tucson for a couple weeks starting on the 24th. I imagine you'll have the BBQ fired up sometime during that timeframe. What time do y'all sit down for dinner in PHX? ) ; ^ ) |

We're moving in Sept/Oct timeframe and have already had all out patio and outdoor stuff put in storage.

I'd have a tough time matching the caliber of dishes you've made, so it would have to be something simple that still fits the theme. How about some yucca in butter and garlic?
