I have a fellow Army Vet Friend with Huntington's, as well as Agent Orange effects, we believe, who is in a nursing home now.
He is a Mexican born and raised in TX. now in a Michigan nursing home. Because of my wanting to please him with a taste of home, I've have had to learn how to make some Authentic Mexican food, that I take to him from time to time. He really appreciates the good stuff, as compared to the food served at the home.
I love & respect Ricky Negron as my brother-in-arms! I want to give him all the comfort I can before he dies.
Dying is the "only" result of Huntington's. I'm going to grieve greatly when he passes on. He has made such an impact on me.
I've learned how to make Red Enchilada sauce without any tomato in it. Real refried beans, enchilada and true Mexican Rice.
I wish I knew more recipes for him. But he does LOVE my meatloaf. You just can't get good meatloaf around here" he says. LOL
But now, I want to take him some of my smoked food too. I was wondering about using my roux based red sauce without any tomato, as a starting point for a sauce for a rib sauce. It would only be a base and I would add other things to it. But am wondering if the flour would burn or change taste in the smoker. (CGSP) Or should I just add some Cumin to another sauce recipe? He loves the Cumin taste in things.
Any experience of yours with a roux based sauce, or ideas about whether or not to use roux, that you can share with me is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Frank
If anyone wants that Complete Enchilada Dinner recipe that Ricky loves so much, let me know. I'll be glad to post the recipe.
None of it is smoked in the recipe, but now that I have a smoker, that may change. lol
