Hey Everyone!
This afternoon, I got a call from my elderly Mother, who I take care of. She was sick today and wanted me to get her some Vietnamese porridge that a local Asian
supermarket carries. I went to Lee Lee Market (here in Tucson). I was trying to decide what I should have for dinner tonight for myself, and decided I wanted
something hot, like Thai curry or some Indonesian dish.
While at the market, I decided to check out the frozen section, as they usually
carry Peruvian foods. I found frozen Rocoto and Aji Amarillo peppers from Peru!
Each one pound package was just under $5.00, but worth it to me!
I have wanted to try Peruvian stuffed peppers for a number of months now.
Tonight, I feasted on stuffed Rocotos. I filled the boiled peppers with a ground
beef/onion and garlic mixture and ate one and a half peppers before the heat
became overpowering. I have left-overs for lunch tomorrow at work!
I got one heck of an endorphine rush, which I'm still experiencing! I'll have to
be careful at work tomorrow, after eating the left-overs.
By the way, Lee Lee supermarkets are in Tucson and Phoenix. However, the frozen
Rocotos are from the brand "Goya." The flavor was FANTASTIC!!!
