How to make Mexican Discada

Discada is a typical dish from northern mexico, it gets its name because traditionally you make in a used plow disc thats been welded shut.

Anyway discada is an alternative to a barbecue and the perfect excuse to have a beer with your friends.

Step 1

The most important part of the discada is well the disco that in reallity is a used plow disk that has been welded shut and in this case it has an added border and handles. But you can get creative and use another thing for cooking it, maybe a large wok , skillet or something like that could work out.

Haha, I can't imagine someone adding 300 grams of Jalapenos to that.

Forgot about that point, actually it's more like 5 or 6 smallish jalapenos o 5 or 6 equally sized serrano chiles.

Since this 'ible i've modified a bit the recipe, now instead of wasting tasty tasty beer, i first render some fat from some beef offcuts and in that fat, fry the jalapenos or serranos, and after that i continue with the recipe as is, but without using hot dogs.

Gives the meal a whole different tang to it.

What kind of sausage did you use? In the picture it looks like 'hot dogs' (frankfurters, wieners, etc)

[joreknight]

yeah you can use your generic hot dog, in fact the cheaper the better, well sort of, the whole spirit of discada is having a good meal with friends without brakeing the bank

that looks REALLY good! what side dishes would normally go with this?

[joreknight]

It's a whole meal by itself, just get some tortillas some nice salsa and some cold beers and your good to go

[Calorie]

That, is a lot of meat. I'm not a vegetarian or anything...but that is a lot of meat. It looks like a creation from a NY Deli, except it's Mexican. A NY Mexican Deli.

You can also add potatos and mushrooms to it. But the more traditional way is like te one in this ible, also if you want you can skip the part of putting sausage in, or make variations of those ingredients. Enjoy.
