Yesterday we had about 25 people over for a backyard get together at the campsite. I have several friends that were raised in a small town in Mexico that had no roads to it. They learned to do everything like make their own shoes and saddles.
I have a large sheet metal stove that sits on some decorative cinder blocks. My friend say it and said that is what they call a comal and how she cooked as a young person.
I made carnitas and pollo verde in Dutch Ovens, and my friends made maize tortillas with a wooden press and cooked the torts right on the sheet metal. We had charro beans, Spanish rice and 4 homemade salsas. A bunch of ensaladas.
For the first three hours or so it was just me and the 4 friends cooking over a fire and playing Mexican musica. Las hermanas, the two sisters liked to have a few tiny shots of good tequila with limon y sal. I learned some new Spanish yesterday and had a blast with a great group of friends. It was definitely a party with a theme, and worth trying at home. Muchas gracias mis amigos.
