| Description: | Southwest Cuisine is a fusion of spices from
'Four Corners' - Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado & Utah.
Coloured with the romance of the Old West, Southwestern food infuses spices, especially chili pepper like Anaheim, chipolte, jalapeno with use of fresh, locally grown foods - corn and beans with meats to produce bud-tantalizing dishes.
The most common Southwestern flavorings include onion, tomato, Mexican oregano, cumin, cilantro and coriander, the seeds of the cilantro. A variety of seeds and nuts provide both texture and flavor, and basic meats, such as chicken, beef and pork are used. Chiles flavor and thicken sauces and filling, and are used with corn or tortillas as the basis of many main-dish specialties... |
