Following tiny Rio Grandes miraculous journey to the coppa della magico finale yesterday, i had the huge honour bestowed upon me, to come up with a fitting celebratory dish to honour the Rio Grande players on their magnificent feat of defying the odds and reaching the final where they valiantly fought deep into exta time before finally being overcome by the galacticos deep into stoppage time. The villagers tears of sadness at this cruel defeat were interspersed with tears of pride and shouts of óle Rio Grande.
After the match the villagers decked out in their finery attented a wonderful evening with the now much feted players of this tiny mountain team and we dined and sang and danced deep into the night.
On a limited budget of a few pesos i managed to produce a dish that was soulful yet celebratory, rich yet pure like the hearts of these proud men.
