Halloween is tomorrow and we are gearing up. no, not literally gearing up, we are preparing our menu for a halloween party. our new friend michal heard about us through our friend doug. Michal decided to put the task on yo soy to create the food for his annual halloween bash! and we were excited! Michal's friends consists of a group of "goodies", and he wanted to please them by presenting a twist on halloween parties. So, instead of orange coated cookies with pumpkins iced on them, he called on us! Brian and I jumped at the opportunity to create a fall menu, not a halloween menu! listen, just because you are dressed in a see through bunny outfit, we'd like to believe there is still a bit of class lying underneath! So we came up with a fantastic menu!
We have beef sliders with roasted poblano peppers with a lemon aioli making their debut. I swear this dish is always one that hosts pick to have prepared for their event. Most of the time the order is followed by a quick " it will help absorb the alcohol" statement! which is very true! another one we came up with is a pork and sauteed apple wonton. the dipping sauce is still being tweaked, but will consist of a fig and cocoa creation! the one i am most excited about however is the mini cajeta apples with pepitas! i love cajeta (mexican goat milk caramel)! and it is a great play on caramel apples, and the texture of the pepitas (small roasted pumpkin seeds) with their savory touch makes me freak out!
we will be posting pictures of the event, and the crazy costumes that surround the halloween inspired menu!
stay tuned, and be safe!
