Summer
is here and we have rolled out our new
menu featuring our Summer Fruit Pico de
Gallos. There is nothing better to me than
a grilled Meat or Seafood with a fresh
fruit Pico de Gallo.
Pico de Gallo like Chutney or Relish
is a side accompaniment to complement the
Main
dish. A way healthier alternative to Butter,
Cream or Gravy which dominates the main
in so many other types of cuisines. Textures
and colors of the Pico de Gallo are so
inviting
and flavorful and with our beautiful summer
fruits who can resist.
When talking Pico
de Gallo, you are dealing with 4 main ingredients,
Tomato, Onion,
Cilantro and Jalapeno. I like to add a
clove of minced
Garlic and a splash of Rice Vinegar. At
Susanna's we accomplish our Fruit Pico
de Gallos by
eliminating the Tomato and substituting
with a Fruit. Wow! What a fabulous combination
the Fruit has to the Onion, Cilantro & Jalapeno.
For low heat, eliminate all the seeds of
the Jalapeno and gradually add seeds for
your preferred temperature. Current on
Susanna's menu are grilled Salmon Tacos
topped with
a Strawberry Pico de Gallo, Our Chicken
Enchilada stuffed w/ Goat/Jack Cheese and
Strawberry
topped with a Watermelon Pico de Gallo
and Sauteed Shrimp in Orange Liquor Tacos
with
a Mandarin Orange Pico de Gallo. These
Fruit Pico de Gallos also are great with
Tortilla
Chips, Bagel Chips or Apple slices with
Cheese. You could even add a couple of
tablespoons
of Vegetable oil and toss it on a Salad.
You can use most fruits and it is limited
only by your imagination.
