I got home from NY to find Matthew Kenney's 3 new cookbooks at my doorstep {thank you Matthew} and it couldn't have come at a better time. I got home ready to get 'cooking' after such a delightful culinary experience in NYC.
What started out as Matthew's "chocolate chili tacos" ended up as Juli's mexican pizzas. You see, I forgot to fold over the taco shells in the dehydrator during the night, so they turned out more like a pizza crust than taco shells. Also, in the meantime I came across Mathew's "white corn tamale" recipe and was drooling at the thought of mole sauce, marinated mushrooms and guacamole.
So, needless to say, I MADE ALL of the condiments, but didn't make the tamales. I then turned the tacos into pizzas.
Wow, what a delight. I ate every morsel. I even used the extra SPICY mole sauce to make a chocolate shake. Yeah, recipe coming soon!
Here's what I layered together:
+ crust/taco shell
+ marinated/dehydrated mushrooms
+ marinated/dehydrated tomatoes with basil
+ guacamole
+ super spicy mole sauce
+ pine nut sour cream
+ arugula
+ macademia nut cheese
For recipes, you'll have to see Matthew's new book Entertaining In The Raw. For now, enjoy the photos.
This was what it really looked like when I was eating it.
I even used the extra "crust" as crackers and the condiments into a 7 layer dip that was to die for.
Have a lovely weekend! Stay tuned for spicy mole milk shake!

Mole milkshake? YUM!

Amber - the mole milkshake was WEIRD. it was like either we LOVED it or we couldn't figure out if it was good. It was like icy chocolate milk that left this super hot taste in your mouth. I need to put recipe up.
