When tomatoes are in season, there are up to 23 varieties in Oaxaca, said rising star chef Thalía Barrios García in an episode of the CNN Original Series "Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico."
García has made this hometown ingredient the star of one of her signature dishes. You can find García's delicious cuisine at her hip restaurants, La Cocina de Humo and Levadura de Olla, in Oaxaca City.
Her Oaxacan-style heirloom tomato salad features an array of fresh, juicy tomatoes native to the region atop a beet puree. A drizzling of wild mint vinaigrette completes the dish. "Look at this! Is that not the most beautiful combination of tomatoes you've ever seen?" Eva Longoria said as she looked at the dish when visiting Barrios García for the docuseries.

So do you approve of the way the tomatoes are dressed?
I made that once after seeing the movie, maybe twice. I used a boston butt (pork shoulder). It was fatty, and the allspice was overwhelming.
For some odd reason pork rarely turns out the way I want it, although I do pretty good with tenderloin.
“It was fatty, and the allspice was overwhelming.”
Good to know, was thinking of trying it.
Still rockin’ it at 48.
Looks like her cat got run over...
