A Thought For Food, Memphis' Premier Personal Chef Service
This Tex-Mex twist on the classic beans and rice combo was inspired by our October trip to Austin, Texas. Hope you enjoy!
The combination of beans and rice to make a meal is shared by cultures around the world. When combined, these budget-friendly food staples form a complete protein. Mexican-style chorizo, which is called for here, is different from Spanish chorizo. Both are made from pork, but Mexican chorizo is raw while Spanish chorizo is cured and smoked.
After all the standard holiday fare, I’m always ready for something vastly different. This Indian-inspired spice-rubbed salmon with curried red lentils is certainly that, but it also fits with my desire to get back to a healthier diet.
If possible, choose wild salmon over farmed. Overall, it has higher nutritional value with less environmental impact.
