Well it is that time again…………time to do your shopping and get ready for Capirotada. Tomorrow is fat Tuesday as they say in New Orleans but for “nosotros los Mexicanos” it is time to prepare for Ash Wednesday. Not only do we prepare capirotada but we begin to prepare all the other lenten meals which means meatless pero muy sabroso.

 

Today we purchased el pan bolillo at the panaderia La Sonorense. Tomorrow we slice the bread lengthwise and toast it in the oven. Hubby diced all the dried fruit today to use for the capirotada. He
shelled the peanuts and will toast them tomorrow. He went to Supermercado Mexico today and purchased Canela, piloncillo, tomatillos, queso Oaxaca and we will be ready to roll tomorrow.

 

For the rest of the meal we bought nopales, dried favas which in spanish are habas and the dried, powdered shrimp. We will make tortas de camaron con nopales en mole rojo. We will shell and clean the favas and boil until soft, then will saute with chopped onions, minced garlic and diced fresh tomatoes. In the morning we have one very light breakfast as this is a day of fasting which means you have lighter than usual meals. For lunch we will have the favas and for late afternoon the tortas de camaron con nopales y mole rojo. Will have the family over in the late afternoon to share a meal and a prayer and then off to church for Ash Wednesday.

 

These are my family’s traditions from Tlachichila Zacatecas.

if the favas are dried make sure you put them in warm water the whole night before, you don’t have to change the water         Leticia Leon

Alicia,
Thanks go much for sharing you menu.  It has been so long since I’ve had the torts de camaron.  My mom and grandmother used to prepare these but they’re no longer living and unfortunately neither my husband or my kids appreciate seafood.  As for the capirotada, I’ve never been able to duplicate that which was prepared by my grandmother, mother or aunts.  Fortunately I have a couple of aunts who are still living and they always remember me at this time.

My regards to you and your family, I’ll be thinking of you of Ash Wednesday.

Like Alicia said, “Happy Fat Tuesday” to all in the Ranchos group and their families.

months.  She is due to have her 2nd child the end of March or so and I
will be playing “grandma” for a couple or three  months, returning in
