Willie asked me to offer a menu special this weekend at Honky Tonk.
I figured it's been a while since I made some some good goat stew.
On the special's menu for Saturday night, August 23rd (starting at 5pm):
Birria, Jalisco Style, $15 per serving
The wet rub is: Guajillo, Pasilla, Chipotle, and Arbol Chiles, vinegar, toasted cumin seeds, clove, garlic, fresh citrus, oregano, marjoram, chocolate, and some other stuff.
Served in a bowl with consomme, chopped onion and cilantro, limes, homemade tortillas, and spicy arbol chile sauce on the side.
I will be cooking the birria "al fresco" in the traditional way: in a pot over a wood fire, meat covered in agave paddles.
