If you are not familiar with the Chimichanga it is basically a burrito that is deep fried. This is a fairly lengthy recipe that requires a bit of work, but in the end you should find that it’s well worth it. If you like Mexican food, these should be a must try for you. If you don’t like the idea of deep frying this makes great burrito meat as well.. For the meat, if you can find already cut up beef stew meat that would work well, and save a lot of time.  Enjoy!!
Ingredients:

• 3 lbs pound boneless beef rump (cut into one inch cubes)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 onions (chopped)
• 3 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic (chopped)
• 2 ¼ cups beef broth
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
• ¼ cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
• ½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 10 (11 inch) flour tortillas (warmed in the microwave)
• Oil (for frying)
• 2 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
• 2 cups iceberg lettuce (shredded)
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup tomatoes (diced)

step 1: In a large stock pot over medium-heat heat. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add beef cubes and brown on all sides. Add onions and jalapeño pepper and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 additional minute. Mix in chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, and flour. Cook stirring frequently for 2 to 3 minutes. Add beef broth and red wine vinegar. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 hours.
Step 2: When the meat is fork tender, shred the beef with 2 forks. Add pinto and black beans, lime juice and cilantro. Cook until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 3: In a large deep skillet add about 1” of oil. Heat the oil to 325 degrees or until the oil is hot enough to frying. While the oil is heating prepare the chimichangas. Lay out a flour tortilla and fill the bottom half with ¾ cup of the beef/bean mixture (if the beef mixture has a lot of liquid, scoop it out with a slotted spoon). Top with about 2 tablespoons of pepper jack cheese. Lift the edge of the tortilla and roll it over the filling to secure it. Fold in both sides and continue rolling until you reach the opposite end. Place a skewer threw the seam side of the burrito to secure it (can also use toothpicks). Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Lower chimichangas into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Fry in batches of 4. Serve with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.

Discription:Macapuno is also known as “mutant coconut” because the meat inside of this naturally occurring oddity is more abundant and softer than the meat found in normal coconuts. Despite its unfortunately icky-sounding English name, Macapuno is an incredibly delicious fruit.
Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cup (14oz can) unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup half and half
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ cup coconut-flavored rum (e.g. Malibu rum)
• 6 egg yolks
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup Macapuno, plus more for serving (Macapuno is shredded coconut that can be found in jars at Asian markets)

How to make:

• Place the coconut milk, cream, half and half, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
•  Stirring occasionally, bring to a bare simmer (just about when it starts to steam and barely bubble) and remove from heat. 
•  Add the rum to the milk mixture.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color. 
•  Slowly add the sugar while continuing to whisk the eggs.  
• Whisk until all the sugar is incorporated.
• Temper the eggs by slowly adding, one ladle at a time, the warm milk mixture to the eggs, whisking continuously.  
• When about a third of the milk mixture has been added to the eggs, pour the remaining milk mixture into the eggs, then return the entire mixture back to the saucepan over medium low heat. 
•  Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer.  
• If you don’t have an instant-read thermometer, cook the mixture until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. (You can test for doneness by running your finger across the coated spoon. 
• If your finger leaves a definite trail on the spoon, then the custard is done.
•  If the trail flows back together, continue to cook the custard until it thickens some more.)
• Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. 
•  Add the Macapuno to the custard and mix well. 
•  Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. 
•  Cover and place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is better.
• Pour the cold custard mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s directions.  (Optional) Top ice cream with more Macapuno before serving.

• 1½ pounds fresh, ripe apricots
• 4½ tbsp water
• 2¼ cups granulated sugar
• 3 cups whipping cream
• 9 egg yolks
• 1 tsp (approx.) vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp (approx.) kirsch

• Pit the apricots and slice them up. 
• Put the sliced apricots in a saucepan with the 4½ tbsp water and simmer until soft, 30-45 minutes.
• The water is there to prevent the fruit from sticking until it gets hot enough to release its juices.
• Dump the apricots into a food processor, blender, or food mill, and purée thoroughly.
• Press the purée through a sieve and set aside.
• In a non-reactive saucepan or double boiler, add the sugar to the cream.

• Put the egg-sugar-cream mixture back in the saucepan or double boiler and cook until the mixture coats a spoon. 
• Take the custard off the heat and whisk in the apricot purée.
• Add about a teaspoon of vanilla extract, more or less, to taste, along with about a tablespoon of kirsch.
• Now put the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours and chill thoroughly.
• Time to get out that ice cream freezer again. 
• Freeze the mixture according to the directions that came with your freezer...directions that will, like as not, involve the use of ice and salt.
• Now taste...and smile. That’s an ice cream you won’t ever see in any stoopidmarket: perfumed with the delicate flavor of one of the summer’s most subtle fruits. Don’t forget to lick the dasher!

Disciption:Olive oil ice cream, enriched by pasture-raised egg yolk, fresh cream and whole milk, is dense in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  The combination of unrefined extra virgin olive oil and blood oranges, with their fruity and floral perfumes, adds a beautiful flavor to a special and unique dessert.
Ingredients:

• 2 blood oranges
• ¾ cup unrefined, extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups heavy cream, preferably fresh not ultrapasteurized
• 2 cups whole milk, preferably fresh not ultrapasteurized
• 6 egg yolks, beaten
• 1/3 to 1/2  cup raw honey, preferably wildflower or orchard blossom
• 6 to 8 drops organic, food-grade orange essential oil
• dash unrefined sea salt

• Zest the blood oranges and reserve the zest.
• Tenderly segment the oranges, removing the white pith and tough membranes and reserving the tender, colorful orange flesh. Set aside.
• Whisk unrefined extra virgin olive oil, heavy cream, whole milk and beaten egg yolks together until thoroughly combined and gently emulsified.
• Vigorously whisk honey into the milk and egg mixture.
•   If your milk and eggs are very cold, the honey may harden and you may find it challenging to combine it thoroughly with the milk and eggs.  
• If that is the case, you may gently warm the mixture of milk and egg yolks over very low heat which enables the honey to blend more efficiently into the cream, milk and egg yolks.
• Stir in reserved orange zest, food-grade organic essential oil and sea salt into the honey-sweetened mixture of milk, cream, olive oil and egg yolks.
• If you’ve warmed the mixture, cool it in the refrigerator until it becomes quite cold – about twenty minutes.
• Fold reserved blood orange segments into the olive oil ice cream mixture, then freeze it according to your ice cream maker manufacturer’s instructions.

YIELD:  About 1 ½ quarts olive oil ice cream or about 12 servings.
