BAGNA CAUDA

Steps:

• Put the oil in a pan with the garlic and anchovies and cook over low heat, stirring, until you have a melted, muddy mess. Everything should begin to meld together. Whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter, and as soon as it has melted, remove from the heat and give a few more beats of your whisk so that everything is creamy and amalgamated. Taste, and if you feel you want this as a dipping sauce - which is meant to be pungent but not acrid. If you want the sauce a little more mellow, whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour into a dish that, ideally, fits over a flame so that it does not get cold at the table.
• Dip in the crudites and eat.

REAL SOPAPILLAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Roll out on floured board until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

MUSHROOM-BEEF TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Make the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; mix well.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 more minute. Add the ground beef and mushrooms and cook, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the beef is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until combined and the spices are slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the sauce is fully absorbed and the mixture is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Toss the lettuce with 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the pico de gallo in a large bowl. Divide among small bowls; top with the beef-mushroom mixture and more pico de gallo. Add beans, cheese, radishes, avocado, cilantro and/or sour cream.
