Barbacoa lamb tacos

A traditional Mexican barbacoa is cooked in a hole in the ground, the meat wrapped in agave leaves and left to cook slowly for around 12 hours. Every region has its own way of making it; these barbacoa lamb tacos are from Sinaloa, in the north of Mexico. Barbacoa is often eaten at the weekend for breakfast: in Mexico people can buy it from restaurants that specialise in this dish. It is also made for special occasions.

Pico de gallo

This fresh tomato salsa – known as pico de gallo in Mexico – is delicious as a side dish, a topping for tacos, or a dip to serve with tortilla chips. There are different versions, but when made with red tomatoes, white onion, coriander and green chilli, it is sometimes called ‘salsa mexicana’ or ‘salsa bandera’, because it has the colours of the Mexican flag.

Fresh tomato and basil soup

Use beautiful in-season tomatoes to make a fresh tomato and basil soup that's a world away from a tin. It freezes really well, so is a great way to use up a glut of tomatoes and have the taste of summer at your fingertips.
