1/4 head cabbage, sliced about 1/8" thick

2 oz. tequila

juice of 1 lime

salt and black pepper to taste.

mix and steam for about 10 minutes. i like my cabbage crunchy.

the black pepper is really important in this dish because it's intensified by the lime and gives the dish a real kick without being fiery hot. i suppose that red pepper would work well, too.

multiply the recipe as needed.

 
Tequila is my liquor of choice & I love cabbage but...

the next morning? Tequila and cabbage? EEK. My husband will leave me.

 
Homage to tequila! REC: Mussels with Tomatoes, Jalapeno and Tequila

We looooo-o-o-ove this recipe. I find an excuse to make it at least once a summer and then we stand over the pot and shamelessly scarf it down.

MUSSELS WITH TOMATOES, JALAPENO AND TEQUILA

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
5 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
6 1/4-inch-thick slices jalapeño chili with seeds
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/4 pounds mussels (about 40), scrubbed, debearded

Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, then next 5 ingredients. Add mussels. Cover and steam until mussels open, about 7 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open). Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large bowl. Simmer sauce uncovered until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.

Makes 4 appetizer servings
