Mamarosita Recipes

SWEET PITA

Steps:

• Spread one side of the inside of each pita with 1 tablespoon almond butter and the other side with 1 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread. Sandwich one-quarter of the banana slices between the 2 sides of each pita and cook on a grill pan over medium heat until the chocolate spread has melted, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

TEQUILA BUMBLEBEE

Steps:

• Put the honey on a small plate. Combine the salt and cayenne pepper on a second small plate. Dip the rim of a rocks glass into the honey and let any excess drip off. Dip into the salt and cayenne mixture to rim the glass. Set aside.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, lime juice, Honey Syrup and bitters. Shake, then pour the contents of the shaker into the rimmed rocks glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
• Combine the honey and 1/2 cup water in a small pot and stir together. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.

PICCATA MUSTARD

Steps:

• Pulse together the mustard with the softened butter in a food processor. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl, add the parsley, capers, shallots, lemon zest and juice and some black pepper and fold together to incorporate.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA
