Nicaragua | Salpicón

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED

Sometimes, when I'm Googling recipes and foods for a country, one recipe from that country will keep showing up over and over in my search. That was the case with Salpicón.

It sounded pretty good so it made my search a quick and easy one.

The main ingredients are round steak, onions, garlic, and green peppers.

If you have a food processor, this is pretty easy.

Boil the steak with the veggies and then chop things up in the food processor and season with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Then serve with rice and beans or whatever works for you. (I served it with rice and beans.)

This was good but I felt like it needed something. It could have used a bit more salt and pepper, which is easy enough to fix. By itself with rice it is a bit dry so I squirted it with additional lime juice and sprinkled fresh cilantro on top and that helped but it still felt like something was missing. I will probably tweak the leftovers a bit. I think if I reheat it with a little oil and throw in some cumin and roasted garlic it it will probably make a pretty good taco filling.

All in all, this wasn't bad, it just didn't do much for me and I probably won't make it, as is, again.
