I thought this week would be a repeat of last week. I was happy to be wrong. We made a poblano & corn soup, achiote rice, tres leche cake, lemon chess pie, lamb with cilantro pesto and jalapeno preserves, empanadas (pork) and gazpacho. My favorite dish was the lamb. I was supposed to be filled with the cilantro pesto. However by the time I removed the big fat pockets, it was not suitable for pounding and rolling. Instead, I cut it into cubes and marinated it in the spice blend. I served it with the two sauces on the side. WOW, it was so good! The spice in the lamb worked perfectly with the sweetness of the jalapeno preserves and the saltiness of the pesto. My chess pie did not have time to set-up properly, but it was fantastic. We were missing a few people this week, so Chef Craig jumped in and made the calabacitas con maize. Roasted in the oven, they were perfect.
