This recipe is one of my favorites. My friends keep asking me for it, even the ones who do not usually like ribs !

I usually make large batches of marinade in late springtime, freeze it, and use it throughout the summer

Highland Park

A recipe that I got from a restaurant in Highland Park, California, an historic neighborhood of Los Angeles. Did you know that the main road is... Route 66 ?

Some historical houses have been preserved, and some have even turned into museums

Los Angeles, CA 90031

The population has changed and has now a lot of spanish/mexican influence, including in the local cuisine

Are these Asian workers ? I'd love to understand this painting as well

We can see the Aztec Gods providing food, and a Mexican woman rolling her Corn Dough. Ancient Aztecs had developed the process of Nixtamalization, which helps them to compensate with deficiency in free niacin, a key ingredient for their (and our) survival. Amazing how advanced their civilization was !!

This is the popular "Chicken Boy", a landmark statue. Highland Park is now a gathering place for hipsters

What are Chipotle Peppers ?

If you don't know

Chipotlé

, just remember it's the same pepper as Jalapeño, dried and smoked

Though it's not as hot as the green Jalapeño, you need to add only a little bit...

... unless you are interested in traveling to the moon without a SpaceX rocket

You will find Chipotle easily in America, but not so easily in European markets

But if you can't find any, Internet can come to the rescue : To purchase online, see HERE
