Unconventional Thanksgiving Feasting
So today is the first day of my multi day Thanksgiving feast.
I'm alone at home and cooking for myself, no one else to worry about.
Wife and kids are away in PA visiting family.
I'll start this off with a first class Fiesta de Accion de Gracias, that's Thanksgiving Feast for all you gringos.
There are two more meals planned,
Smoked/Grilled Duck with Crawfish Etouffee
Hickory Smoked Pork Belly with Crispy Skin
Menu
Carne Asada
Arroz Mexicana
Frijoles
Verde/Serrano Chile Sauce
Tortillas de maiz
Carne Asada
4.5lbs Skirt steak marinated over night.
Marinade
I don't think any two of my marinades are hardly ever the same/
Sure, they're written down, but I do them by eye.
Enough to cover my meat in the bag or bowl.
Marinade
Juice of 4 large limes
1/2C Orange juice
3T Soy sauce
3T Worcestershire sauce
3 large Jalapenos, finely minced
1/2 med Onion, finely minced
3T Garlic, minced
1/2C Cilantro, finely chopped
1T salt, pepper and cumin

Today I browned all the trimmings from my pork belly and added them into the beans.
After a several hours I pulled the pork and jalapeno out, minced them and returned it all to the pot.
