  3. al pastor turkey stuffed with pineapple… my new favorite way to make a Thanksgiving turkey 😭🔥🍍🦃 here’s how i made it: for the al pastor marinade: boil for 20 min: – 7 guajillo chiles – 6 New Mexico chiles – 3 ancho chiles transfer softened chiles to a blender and add: – ½ white onion – 3 garlic cloves – 3 bay leaves – ½ bar achiote paste or 3 packets of Sazón Goya cilantro con achiote (the store ran out so i used these 😭) – 1 tbsp each: oregano, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, ground cumin – 2 cloves – ¼ cup avocado oil – ¾ cup pineapple juice – ¾ cup orange juice blend until smooth. save 1 cup of this marinade on the side to inject later. prep the turkey: pat your turkey dry. mine was 20 lbs. add unsalted butter under the skin, then spread the al pastor marinade under the skin and all over the turkey. if you want max flavor, marinate it 24 hours before. once ready to bake, stuff the turkey with a whole peeled pineapple 🍍 pour chicken broth into the roasting tray to help with basting. before it goes into the oven, inject your turkey with the marinade you saved earlier. bake at 325°F for 4½–5 hours (for a 20 lb turkey). baste every 30–45 minutes using the drippings, and inject the drippings back into the turkey as it cooks for extra juiciness. for the last hour and a half, cover your turkey with foil to avoid burning once it’s fully browned. the flavor on this… unreal. juicy, sweet, smoky, everything al pastor should be 🤎🔥🦃🍍 #explore #explorepage #mexican #foodie #turkey #alpastor #alpastorturkey #sandiegocontentcreator #foodcontentcreator #thanksgivingrecipes #mexicanfood

  1. San Diego’s newest hot spot is finally OPENING TODAY! 📍 @leilanorthpark Leila, one of the most highly anticipated restaurants by Consortium Holdings, is now open, bringing authentic Middle Eastern cuisine to North Park. Let’s dive into what you must try! 🌟 Leila’s menu focuses on genuine Middle Eastern dishes, prepared in an open flame kitchen and clay ovens for their signature breads. They also offer an array of dipping sauces, tah dig, and kabobs. Start with the “Mezeh” section, the Falafel, made with pickled peppers, peach amba, tahini, and lemon, is a standout ($12) along with the Maast O Mousir “Shallot Yogurt,” made with onion blossoms, zaatar oil, and freshly made pita bread ($12) Their kabobs, grilled to order range from $18-$26. Options include beef koobideh, Joojeh Chicken, Salmon, and Steak and more. If you’re really hungry, opt for the Soltani Platter ($84), which includes beef koobideh, joojeh chicken, veggies, toum, cucumber yogurt, and basmati rice on fresh Barbari Bread. The tah dig, traditional saffron crispy rice topped with fried potato, is a must-try! ($12) If you have room, end your meal with an authentic dessert like the Saffron Ice Cream ($8). Make sure to book a reservation early, as Leila is sure to fill up quickly for dinner! @lil_ch_world 🌟 FOLLOW @sandiegoeaters for more of the best spots in San Diego! #sandiego #visitsandiego #newrestaurantinsandiego #leila #leilanorthpark #consortium #consortiumholdings #chprojects #middleeasterncuisine #sandiegofood

  1. *** NEW RECIPE: 4 Ingredient Cheesy Quinoa Nuggets *** Seriously stop what you're doing, you need to make these EASY + DELICIOUS nuggets right now! Trust me, you probably already have all the ingredients to make em! Kids and adults alike will LOVE these nuggets. Dip em' in ketchup + mustard or BBQ sauce and ranch for the perfect EASY + HEALTHY meal. This recipe is sooooo EASY! Simply combine HOT cooked quinoa (important that it's freshly made quinoa, as that works as the binder), nutritional yeast, green onions, and salt, form into fritters and pan sear for the perfect little healthy compassionate nugget. Drop me a smiley face in the comments if you're gonna make these! 4 INGREDIENT CHEESY QUINOA NUGGETS Yield: About 20 Nuggets Ingredients: • 1 cup dry quinoa, thoroughly rinsed • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast • 4 green onions, white + green part, finely minced • 1 + 1/2 teaspoons salt • 1-2 tablespoons high heat oil (I like refined coconut oil) Directions: 1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. 2. Combine hot cooked quinoa with nutritional yeast, green onions, and salt. Salt to taste. Using a cookie dough scoop tightly form into desired nugget shapes. 3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, once oil is hot add nuggets, being sure not to crowd the pan (you may need to make it 2 batches). Place on a paper towel lined plate to cool. Chef’s Notes: 1. Be sure to use HOT cooked quinoa, as the hot quinoa is actually the binder to this recipe.
