Blackened Spice

By andre

This is a very simple spice mixture that is excellent for use in spicy seafood dishes, and even as a base for a good carribean jerk rub.  The idea is that once it’s grilled, the spices will blacken, giving the food a wonderful flavor and color!

Check out the simple directions after the jump!

Smoke and Fire Beef Skewers with Lime Cilantro Dip

By andre

beef_skewersWe’ve been entertaining quite a bit as of late, and we’ve been digging up some recipes from our great big book of appetizers (it’s actually quite diminutive).  This latest little treat incorporates two of nature’s best items: Chipotle peppers and beef.

The skewers are absolutely delicious, we cooked the meat medium/medium rare, and the chipotle give it an amazingly smokey and firey taste.  Balancing things out is a nice and refreshing Lime/Cilantro sour cream dip.

Read on past the break for the simple steps! Then start devouring…I can’t emphasize how much of a hit these have been.
