Key Lime Pie / Nyonya Style Pumpkin & Prawn Curry / Barbacoa Beef Cheek Tacos



Blog Post & Recipe: Key Lime Pie


I like this recipe because of the lime zest in the graham cracker crust. The filling is sweet and the zest gives some bitterness to the crust and creates a very nice flavour.

Now, let us get back to today’s recipe. This curry turned out relatively mild as the red chilies found here are not that spicy and the sweet pumpkin did neutralize the heat a little.

For those who are unaccustomed to cheek meat, braising it for tacos does wonders to accessibility because, after all, there's really nothing all that scary about a taco (right?). But odd cuts aside, these beef cheek tacos are pretty incredible. They're marinated in a mole-esque blend of spices, chiles, coffee, and peanut butter with a deep yet mellow spiciness that permeates the cheeks beautifully.
