I had this dish years ago at an ex-boyfriend's house while I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and his mom shared her recipe. I am usually pretty traditional and old-fashioned with my Thanksgiving menu, but always make these because they are so good! My relationship didn't last, but this recipe continues to be a favorite, years later!

Clam Bake
A clam bake is the most fun you can have with your seafood! This recipe is a general guide โ mix and match your favorite seafood or ask your fishmonger for their freshest fish. I've even added a whole octopus before. Serve with a nice white wine for a great outdoor meal.
Colorado Green Chili (Chile Verde)
This Colorado green chili is my version of my mother's green chili. I like to serve it over oven-baked burritos or with beans and rice. If you can't find a chile roaster, look for frozen diced chiles at your supermarket. You can also freeze fresh roasted chiles for off-season use.
Green Papaya Salad
Cucumber can replace the green papaya in this salad recipe.
