100 Years of West Coast Flavors!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Cauliflower

If you are anything like me LA VICTORIA® Brand is a staple in your home.  I like LA VICTORIA® Brand because of the delicious taste of their salsas & hot sauces, but I also love what the brand stands for.  Did you know that they support hands-on education that teaches kids where their food comes from with a day of gardening; the connection of the food and the earth leads to healthy eating habits and a appreciation for food.

In honor of LA VICTORIA® celebrating their 100th Anniversary they have created Dinner with the LA VICTORIA® Brand.  These are dinners they are hosting in different cities that you can attend.  Find out where all the locations are.  The celebration dinners will be filled with culinary creations by well-known chefs, music, and art.  The dinners will showcase the bold and unique Mexican-inspired foods and flavors of the West Coast.

Guess where the next dinner is going to be held?  The next dinner will be held at the iconic Santa Monica Pier.  You won’t want to miss a meal made by Chef Eduardo Ruiz.  He is the owner of BLVD 745’s Chicas Tacos in downtown Los Angeles and Public Beer & Wine Shop in Long Beach.  Chef Ruiz was trained at Le Cordon Bleu and was recently named a semi-finalist in the James Beard Foundation’s “Rising Star Chef of the Year” award.  That’s pretty impressive!

For dinner tonight, I decided to make my version of Chef Ruiz Blistered Brussel Sprouts and Cauliflower which will be served at the next celebration dinner.

I prepared and washed the brussels sprouts and the cauliflower.

Then I made the Pistou (sauce) with the star ingredient LA VICTORIA® Brand Salsa Verde.  It’s great to throw all the ingredients in the blender and let the blender do all the work!

I was not able to find the Queso Añejo so I substituted Romano Cheese, and just when I started making the dish I realized I didn’t have any fresh basil.  That’s the beauty of cooking, substitutions are OK!

The dish came out amazing!  Thank you Chef Ruiz!
