Lent is the perfect time to add some simple yet tasty recipes to your meatless repertoire. So grab your apron; pop on your chef's hat and listen as guests Justin Soeder and Raquel Garcia De Alba share recipes and cooking advice with host Wendy Haught in this second episode of The Catholic Home.
Justin's enthusiasm for seafood practically vibrates the airwaves as he guides listeners through the steps of preparing one of his favorite salmon dishes, then quickly moves on to his amazing Kung Pao shrimp. But he doesn't stop there. He delivers shopping and cooking tips as well, and even takes a little detour to explain why Tilapia is not his favorite fish.
Raquel, basking in the glow of old Mexico, where family get-togethers and baptism parties abound, and street vendors daily ply their wares, brings that comforting warmth to the show as she shares her aunt's Caribbean Black Beans and Rice recipe as well as her grandmother's Capirotada recipe, a Mexican bread pudding traditionally served on Good Friday. Variations of Capirotada have been served in Mexico since at least the 1400s. Raquel also delights the culinary imagination with fresh and easy Tostadas Sincillas.
Tons of information is shared on cookware, resources, philosophy, and options for learning to cook and/or simply improve your skills in the kitchen.
There is a little bit of everything in this show--laughter, reminiscing, and even a cameo appearance from Messi, the barking Schnauzer, who is named after the Argentinian soccer player for FC Barcelona. (FC stand for Futbol Club.) If you've never heard a dog bark in Spanish, this is your golden opportunity!
