Tomato Rice
I sometimes add veg and some precooked chicken or sausage for a main meal, but it can be a side dish also. It goes nicely with BBQ/Grilled food, espcially fish, and with a little sour cream on top.
Salsa verde
We enjoy this simple salsa verde with grilled fish or simply on top of cheese and toast. You can make it in advance and it keeps well on the fridge for a few days.

Southwestern Seasoning Blend
The southwestern section of the Unites States (particularly Arizona and New Mexico) utilise many unique flavours and spices. Chillies, Mexican oregano and cumin (cumino) are a normal part of much of our cooking. Surprisingly to some, even cocoa and cinnamon find their way into our everyday dishes as well. Here is the house blend we use on the ranch to season...well, most everything!
