New Mexico Family Cooking:

 When someone asks me to cook a family dish  I think back to my grandmother and what she has been cooking for me since I was a little baby boy. Part of my family is from New Mexico and when my grandmother married my grandfather she learned how to cook all of the New Mexican recipes from his mother. She wrote everything down meticulously on the days she learned how to cook in the 1940s and has passed down the recopies to the family in, the Salazar Family Cook Book.  To the right is my favorite family recipe that I cook. It has deep roots in my family heritage and uses local native plants to cook with. It is a tradition in my family that whoever is marrying into the family must be able to handle the heat of this dish to become a Salazar! This is an excerpt from the family cookbook that was published in 1994.
