Please do not judge New Mexico or Las Cruces by that video. Notice how they are rodeo people. I know quite a few people in Cruces who are very well educated and nice people, as for the state, we have more than a few!

Halibut Steaks au Poivre
For the best flavor, always grind or crush pepper just before using it. For this dish, crush whole black peppercorns in a mortar with a pestle. To give the steaks a colorful look and an interesting change in flavor, use a blend of black, green and white?or even pink?peppercorns. Black peppercorns are the hottest of the four. Green peppercorns are immature black peppercorns that have been brined to preserve them, and white peppercorns are black ones with the outer layer removed. Pink peppercorns are actually the berry of a type of rose plant.
6 halibut steaks, each about 3/4 inch thick
2 to 3 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. black peppercorns, crushed, or to taste
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Preheat an oven to 400?F. Butter a roasting pan just large enough to hold the fish comfortably.
Rinse the halibut steaks under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the fish with enough of the melted butter to coat well. Sprinkle with the pepper and press gently so it adheres to the fish....

Cannellini Bean, Fennel and Shrimp Salad
2 15 oz. cans of cannellini beans drained & rinsed
1 fennel bulb, about 1 lb.
1 lb. medium shrimp, cooked
1/2 tsp. fennel seeds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbs. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup diced red onion
6 large lettuce leaves
Cut off the stems and feathery leaves from the fennel bulb; set the leaves aside. Discard the outer layer of the bulb if it is tough and cut away any discolored areas. Quarter the bulb lengthwise and cut away any tough base portions. In a large bowl, combine the fennel with ice water to cover and let soak for 30 minutes. Drain well and cut into 1/4-inch dice. You will have about 2 cups. Finely chop enough of the reserved fennel leaves to yield 1/2 cup.
Peel the shrimp. In a mortar, using a pestle, coarsely crush the fennel seeds. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, fennel seeds, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Add the chopped fennel bulb...

Did it come up with a message saying it was unavailable?
I wonder if any US Couchers can see it? |
Canadians only, not that it will stop me from trying. |
You know what to do sista Same thing we did for the other and should work poifectly 
I find Canadian Idol a bit lame though. I don't know the judges so that's probably why, but nutters auditioning all the same.
