Karl’s Strawberry Sunrise Mimosa

This Sunday we are having Mother’s Day and Miriam’s birthday brunch. Mimosa is an obvious choice, but how to make it as special as my women? This is what I came up with.

Karl’s Orange and Baby Greens Salad with Cuban Vinaigrette

I am making Cuban Picadillo for dinner on Sunday, but I had difficulty finding any Cuban green vegetable side dishes. I needed to make more of my orange sugar, which always leaves me with two or three navel oranges to use up after I have removed all of the zest. I decided that an orange wedge and baby lettuce salad would do the trick. To make the vinaigrette “Cuban” I used lime juice and a bit of culantro Recaíto sauce.

Karl’s Orange Curd

Adapted from a Fine Cooking recipe

Jan loves lemon curd, so a while ago I made some with Meyer lemons. It worked out so well that I have made it a couple of times. It is really tasty, but it does not last or keep long.

Karl’s Cuban Mojo Sauce

I found Seville sour oranges and Cuban mojo sauce sounded like a good thing to mix with beef for a savory taco. While I am making this sauce for carne asada tacos, it could also be used on chicken, fish or pork. For vegetarians, it could even be use as a sauce for rice or vegetables . The Seville sour orange juice gives this sauce a unique and distinctive flavor.
