Recipes of the Forgotten Realms: Yum!

So, last night I made a new recipe that my husband and I both found to be quite delicious.  Therefore, I have decided to share these new ideas with you.  Enjoy!

Troglodyte Tequila Lime Filet

4 3oz Filet’s or other tender steak

1/2 c. Tequila

1/4 c. Lime juice

1 tsp. Ground Cumin

2 tsp. Dried  Cilantro

 1 Large Onion (any color) slice into 1/4 inch rings

Directions:
Combine everything into one large bag and let marinade for at least 4 hours.  In a very hot skillet, with about 3 tbs. of oil in the bottom, place in the steaks and sear.  Continue to sear on each side.  Turn down the temperature to low-med heat and add the onions.  Cover and let the onions wilt for approximately 10 minutes.  While this is simmering, turn the oven onto 450.  Spray the bottom of a glass baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.  Remove the steak/onions and place them in the baking dish.  Make sure the onions are on top of the steaks. Splash with a tiny bit more tequila for the baking process. Cover with foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes.  Once done remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

 

Troglodyte Tequila Lime Rice

1 c. long grain white rice

1/4 of a small onion finely chopped

1 Tbs. butter

1/4 c. Frozen Corn

1 cube of Chicken Boullion

1/2 tsp. Dried Cilantro

 1 tsp. Ground Cumin

1/4 c. Tequila

1 3/4 c. Water

Directions:

In a non-stick sauce pan combine the onions and butter over high heat.  Once the butter is bubbling add in the dried cumin.  Mix until the cumin is no longer powdery.  Pour the rice and let sit over the top.  While the rice is browning, place the tequila, chicken boullion and water into a measuring  cup.  Give the rice a good stir and then add all the liquid ingredients.  Stir again and add the cilantro and corn.  Let it come to a full boil and cook until tender.
