PERRO SALADO (TEQUILA SALTY DOG)

Perro Salado (Tequila Salty Dog) image

Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. This is a Tex-Mex version of the salty dog. If you have access to a sweet Texas red grapefruit, like Ruby-Sweets or Rio Stars, then it's recommended you use it in this recipe. From a special edition of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex Cooking. I ordered this at a restaurant once. If you're in the mood, you can double the tequila (hehe).

Categories side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup fresh Texas Red grapefruit juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup pure cane sugar, plus more if needed
1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
2 Texas Red grapefruits, segmented
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the grapefruit and orange juices and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture reduces slightly.
Stir in half of the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries pop and break down and the mixture begins to thicken. Add the remaining cranberries and cook just until the berries pop, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the orange zest and grapefruit segments and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the parsley and serve at room temperature.
