Mexican Couscous

I did a test shoot a couple of days ago with the talented food stylist Jenny Park. We did a kind of Mexican themed buffet with a bunch of dishes. Jenny was kind enough to share some recipes of the food I photographed. One of the dishes we photographed was a beautiful Mexican couscous.

Mexican Couscous

Servings: 3-5

Ingredients:

2 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 chipotle pepper in adobe, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1½ cups couscous
½ cup black beans, drained
½ cup tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/3 cup red onions, minced
¼ cup cilantro, minced
¼ cup cotija cheese for garnish, optional

Directions:

1) In a medium saucepan combine first seven ingredients and stir. Bring to a boil and pour in couscous. Gently stir, cover and remove from heat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff mixture with a fork and fold in remaining ingredients. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour and serve cold topped with cotija cheese (optional).

Recipe by Jenny Park. Thank so much Jenny!

Two kinds of cheese, gruyere, blue cheese, bacon, onions, avocado, and lettuce piled on a
juicy patty, in between an English muffin. It was sooo good.

have you ever tried…

in PRETTY FOOD PICTURES

Peanut butter in a smoothie? Am I totally the last person to hop on this wagon? I tried it the other day and it was pretty much amazing. I used some frozen strawberries, a banana, some frozen blueberries, frozen blackberries, and two heaping scoops of PB and then a splash of OJ. It was amazing.

toms

When I first moved here, I was a vegetarian. The cafe at Otis where I went to school was horrible. I lived off grilled cheese and tomato slices. I wish I would have made more of an effort to eat tomatoes like this:

the hamburglar

in PRETTY FOOD PICTURES

Every time I think about hamburgers or see one I think of the Hamburglar. Why? I have no idea. Maybe its because hamburglar is way more fun to say than hamburger.

Creepy right? Well the whole time I was shooting these mini hamburgars or ’sliders’ with Adam, all I could think about was the hamburglars fat face and his mask.
