House-Cured Pancetta, Egg Yolk, Avocado, Tomato, and Hearts of Palm
Tomatoes from Mindy! That’s the pancetta I’ve been working on for a month resting on top of a quick poached egg yolk….when the yolk is broken it flows over the other items on the plate. The pancetta is rendered then I worked that fat into the avocado puree. There’s more to it but I won’t bore you with you details. Eric

Mangalitsa B.L.T.
If I owned a restaurant then this would definitely go on my menu for lunch. It might even be one of those things that I just have for a late-night menu that only a few chosen people know about (I like secrets). It’s a f’ing amazing sandwich and ridiculously easy to make but the ingredients are what make it amazing. It’s not just a b.l.t. The bacon is from Wooly Pigs. Heath breeds mangalitsa pigs that currently have the highest […]

Fennel Salad with a Tarragon Vinaigrette. Again? Yes, again. Finally plated it how I wanted it to look
Third time’s a charm or something like that. I went from high and tight to flat to high and tight with the plating on this one. This is the one that sticks for me. I quick pickled the shallots, used the same tarragon infused white wine vinegar, added some avocado for flavor and color, more radish, finished with Himalayan pink salt. Everything else is the same. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Eric 1 of 3 Bob and Bonnie Dinner 3/30

Fried Egg, Chorizo Sauce, Rice…..Yes please!!
My friend Sean came over last night after class. I talked with him because I was out of class early because I had just finished my last final for the quarter. I had thoughts of going around West Seattle and getting into trouble but I forgot how tired I was. “Dude, come over, I have rum and I’ll cook”. Sean replied with an awesome response and he was over quickly……HE LIVES IN WEST SEATTLE TOO!!! MUAH HAHAHAHA. I had this […]

Fried Pork Chop, Yellow Rice, Avocado Puree, Pepper Medley, a night in Puerto Rico….
Had a couple friends stop by the house on Saturday. It was supposed to be mojito/game night but we never got around to the whole game thing. It’s a guarantee now that if you come over I will cook, I can’t help it. I need to terrorize my kitchen and work it to its limits and make sure that everyone who comes into my house is left satisfied. The people who came over have seen my cooking over the last […]

Ropa Vieja
A friend of mine, Valerie, asked me if I could come up with a recipe for Ropa Vieja. It’s a dish that’s tossed around the Hispanic community from culture to culture. Every recipe I have seen has different ingredients and methods behind the madness for these “old clothes”. One of the things that I saw remained constant was the braising of the meat, pulling it apart, then placing it back in the braising liquid. I had the basic idea of […]

IxaRiveraCooks: Avocado Gazpacho and Hummus and Guacamole
My mom is taking over this post to give you three fantastic recipes. She did her own pictures and wrote the recipes! I think it’s pretty damn cool and if she keeps this up I might just give her her own blog, it will definitely be a lot more fun than this one! Her presentations are much better than mine and I can always count on a pretty flower to be included in the pictures. She cooks everything to taste […]

F.B.O.T.M- Breadplusbutter.blogspot.com- Avocado Pesto!
PHOTO COURTESY OF BREADPLUSBUTTER.BLOGSPOT.COM Breadplusbutter.blogspot.com is my food blog of the month. Jenn sure knows how to rock food combinations. I love pesto and I love avocado so this is a brilliant take on these two ingredients I wouldn’t have thought to put together. It’s another reason I wouldn’t mind moving to California or Puerto Rico because I really do love avocados that much and the quality of avocados I get here in Washington don’t compare! Check out this phenominal […]

Fried Plantain Cups Stuffed with an Avocado Tomato Salad
(Click each picture to make it larger) Jenn from Bread + Butter made me get a little nostalgic with her recipe/post. The first sauce I ever learned how to make was Mayoketchup. Yes, Mayoketchup. My mom just mixes 1 tbsp. mayo with 2 tbsp. ketchup then ta-da mayoketchup. It tastes like thousand island and when you mix it with other things it gives you a nice familiar taste, well for me anyway. She sent me this plantain cup maker “Platano […]
