Mexican Food Made Simple

Torta/Poached Plum Dessert (1x4)

Air date: Jul 26, 2011

In search of the ideal spectator snack - a big meaty sandwich called a torta - Thomasina gets a ringside seat to Mexico's favourite sport, Luche Libre. Here the masked wrestlers leap on top of each other, catapulting from the ropes. Back home in her kitchen, Thomasina shows us how to make a torta packed with chorizo, avocado and refried beans. Plus there's a recipe for a pretty poached plum dessert with rose petal syrup.
