Pinch of Yum's Spicy Sofritas

I admit, I have made this before and I totally forgot about this until I saw a pin about sofritas and I knew I had to make it for the site. Every time I make this I seem to change the quantity of one of the ingredients. One time it was the poblano, another was the adobo pepper and both times it was waaaaaaay too spicy. I like spicy but this was burn your mouth off so that you can't taste anything else. I've followed the recipe to the T to make sure I can give you a proper review.








Yay or Nay: Yay

After following the recipe properly, I must admit it had the right balance of everything, just enough heat for the warming or warning tingle! Instead of brown rice I used farro following the cooking instructions on the packet. I did mix the lime juice and coriander and nope the red onion and garlic didn't go into the recipe at all, I only realised they were for the guacamole after I took the pic!

Chowhound's Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Who doesn't love a mouthful of BBQ? I know I do so replicating this at home should be a breeze. I was first introduced to BBQ when I first came to Rochester and ate at Sticky Lips. The tangy sauce and the super tender meat all piled on top of a oh-so-right bun won me over that night. Fueling my love of BBQ was Man vs. Food which featured a lot and I mean A LOT of BBQ joints. Just thinking of it makes me salivate! Traveling around the US I have had my fair share of BBQ and Tennessee has some of the best! 

I must confess this isn't my first time making this so I know it is already a yay, but if you're looking for a decent and properly easy recipe for pulled pork this is it!









Yay or Nay: Yay

As above, it makes for some good pulled pork. I didn't have any brown sugar to hand so I used regular granulated sugar and it didn't change the flavour that much. I used it for two meals, tacos and sandwiches (burgers) the day after!
