Sauce of fire roasted tomatoes, charred onion, garlic and chipotle in adobo. Slices of fried chorizo. Baked in 500F oven covered, in cazuela.
About the ratio: 2lb mussels, 1lb sauce, 1/3lb chorizo, 1/2 cup tequila: can def tune down on the latter – the flavor was nice but a bit bitter (usually comes with strong liquors).
Served with toasted country bread, tortilla chips and red cabbage/apple slaw.

Definitely one of my favorites. A pleasure to cook – the aroma of dry roasted (think charred) garlic cloves is intoxicating.
Used white sweet potatoes, for wonderful aroma and flavor.
The original recipe calls for mixing everything together – shredded chicken, sauce and potatoes. I decided to serve potatoes on the side – delicate strands looked too delicate…

the traditional way is to serve tinga with shredded lettuce and sliced avocado – kept the romaine, skipped the latter…

Wish i made a pic of the dish served – what a play of light and lace…
