Latin dishes are a natural with carnitas, but the tender meat is at home in Asian recipes, too. Sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste) adds a fiery flavor to this tasty salad. To tame the heat, you can try just 1/2 teaspoon in the vinaigrette, or you can leave it out altogether. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh lemongrass |
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot |
3 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
1 teaspoon thai fish sauce |
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste) |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 cups beef carnitas |
2 large tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges |
1 (10-ounce) package romaine salad |
1/2 english cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 1 cup) |
Directions:
1. To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 10 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
2. To prepare salad, combine Beef Carnitas and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
