Memorial Day Weekend at 129 1/2 an El Gato
Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather we have been having as late - even the rain was a nice surprise.
This weekend its Bill West with Matt Jackson and Brain Sinclair on Friday 6:30 - 9:30, and then on Saturday, it's the return of Frankie and Rosemary to their regualr spot. Joining them will be Brian Sinclair and Ramon Dana - how about that for a line up? Roman returns on his own on Sunday - shoudl be great as always!
Favorite Recipe this week:
Since you are all gonna have yoru grills out this weekend - how about making some grat Grilled Salsa?
Roasted Salsa
(10) Roma Tomatoes
- just grill 'em until they get charred on all sides, but don't over do it
(2) Jalapenos
- Grill these also. Its up to you if you wanna take the seeds out first or after grilling
(3) Scallions - small dice
(1) Green Bell Pepper
- Don't grill this one
(1) Red Onion - fine dice, no grilling
1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro
(I really like to leave this one a bit rougher chop then the rest of the stuff)
Place the Tomatoes and Jalepenos in a Food Processor and pulse lightly until still chunky, but smooth
Place everything in a stainless steall bowl and add the following:
1/2 C Franks Red Hot, or your favorite hot sauce
PInch Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste
2t Chili Powder
1t Cayenne
Chill it really well - and enjoy it with Tortilla Chips, or tossed in a salad with Ranch Dressing
Have a great Weekend everyone!

Lunch this Week 4-11-09 - Seafood Week!
MMMMMmmmmm good is all I can say about the lunch features this week.
My new favorite is one that I did a few years ago, and decided to bring back for a stint to see how it goes this time around.
Seared Ahi Tuna Burger
Sahsimi Grade Ahi Tuna mixed with Capers, Parsley, Cilantro, Onions and roasted Bell Peppers - Griddle Cooked, and served on a Toasted Kaiser with a Citrus Aioli - MMMmmm
Now - here is how you can make it at home:
1 # Fresh Ahi Tuna
(you can use albacore, but the burger will be a bit stronger flavor,

(you can use albacore, but the burger will be a bit stronger flavor,
you reallly want to keep this as lite as possible)
Cut into large pieces and pulse in Food Processor until the texture of ground beef
Cut into large pieces and pulse in Food Processor until the texture of ground beef
-but not purreed
Now in a Stainless Steel Bowl, combine
1/4 C Diced Red or Yellow Onion (fine dice)
1/4 C Diced Roasted Red Bell Peppers
Salt and Pepper
Zest of (1) Lemon and (1) Lime
1 T Chopped Capers
1 T Dijon Mustard
1/2 T Chopped Parsley
1/2 T Chopped Cilantro (optional)
Combine all together and form into 4 - 5 oz patties
You could cook on a chargrill if you like, but I foundthat the texture and flavor is lighter and more distant on a flat top grill or fry pan.
Served with Pickled Ginger, Citrus Mayo, or other light condiment.
Other things to consider would be addinga bit of Sesame Oil to the mixture - again, i jstu liked it nice and fresh tasting without getting too heavy.
-let me know how yours turned out.
________________________________________________________________
So what else is on the menu this week:
Grilled Salmon Salad with a Basil Vinaigrette
Crab & Shrimp Quesadillas
Shrimp Primavera
Lobster & Scallop Bisque
