May 2 2013 Page 5 C inco de Mayo is coming, and besides the tequila, there is a wonderful world of cuisine that can be explored in our own backyard. I’m not talking about Taco Bell either. I’m referring to the Mexican and how to bang them markets in our city that have great fresh products that are easy to use by Chef Shafer and excellent for entertaining. My favorite market is on Main Street in Carson near 223rd Street. It’s called “La Venadita”, at 22035 Main Street. They have all kinds of ready to grill marinated meats and poultry for your next party. Then you can add your own touch with some fresh salsas and warm tortillas. The Chef My favorite is… Chile Avocado Salsa 4 cups chicken broth 4 cloves of garlic 2 to 3 jalapeños, cut off stem and cut into quarters 1 cup chopped onion 4 avocados, peeled and seeded ½ bunch cilantro Salt and pepper to taste Bring chicken broth, garlic, and jalapeños to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and chill. Add avocado, meat, and cilantro. Puree with a blender. Season with salt and pepper.
