SANTA FE
An art hotel located in the heart of Santa Fe, N.M., La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa is pleased to announce the launch of a new Global Latin Cuisine concept in the resort's AAA Four Diamond Award-winning restaurant, Fuego!
Curated by New Mexico's "Chef of the Year," Carmen Rodriguez, the new culinary concept at Fuego! blends global cultures and Latin flavors with Santa Fe flair and La Posada hospitality.
As Executive Chef at Fuego!, Rodriguez interprets the "art of fine dining" on a global scale by sourcing his inspiration from near and far. On the menu, guests will be pleased to find local ingredients— from hatch chiles, buffalo, and Cuban bread from neighborhood favorite Angel's Bakery to fresh-picked apricots from the resort's garden—fashioned into creative global fare.
Among the most colorful dishes on Chef Rodriguez's Fuego! new menu are several "Small Bites" including Korean Tacos of marinated flank steak flame-grilled for an authentic "street" flavor, then tucked into corn tortillas topped with spicy Napa cabbage cole slaw and finished with Gochujang sauce blended with avocado; and Callos de Hacha y Tostones—red chile-dusted sea scallops, twice-fried plantains and cilantro gastrique.
Chef Carmen's "Big Bites" or entrées round out the savory menu with global cuisine topped with a local twist—from the New Mexico Roasted Lamb Rack served with citrus-infused couscous, red chile honey mint sauce and fresh vegetables, and Chocolate Cherry Mole Duck Breast with sofrito rice and fresh vegetables, to the Tequila Chicken with peppers, onions lime juice and tequila served with rice and fresh vegetables.
The menu's soups, salads and sandwiches also showcase global flavors and local ingredients.
