Black Bean Chile Rellenos in a Spicy Romesco Sauce and Sweet Corn Pitas




I love chile rellenos - in almost every shape and form vegetarian. This one could use a bit more viscosity so I might recommend pureeing longer, or, with a dash of liquid to thin it out some.

The sweet corn pitas are amazing!

Black Bean Chile Rellenos with Spicy Romesco Sauce
Kiss My Balsamic food blog

Stuffed Peppers:
6 poblano peppers
3 red bell peppers
black beans, cooked (about 2 c)
mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
gruyere cheese, thinly sliced

Romesco Sauce:
1 cloves garlic
1 c almonds, whole
1/2 habanero
8 leaves sage, fresh (opt)
juice from 1/2 lime
1 T olive oil
1 T agave nector
salt and pepper

Sweet Corn Pitas
1 1/8 lb cornmeal
1 1/8 lb flour
1 T active dry yeast
2-3 T olive oil
2 T sugar
2 T salt
1 T agave nectar
2 1/4 c warm water


Grill peppers (the poblanos and the red bell peppers) over an open flame until charred. Set aside and, when cool enough to handle, rub off the charred skin. Take the poblanos and make a thin slice from stem almost to tip. Remove seeds from inside. Set aside.

Spray a 9x13" Pyrex baking dish with Pam. Set poblano peppers in the dish. Stuff with black beans and layer with 1 slice mozzarella and 1 slice gruyere cheese each.

Bake in a 375 oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese melts.

While the peppers are baking, place all sauce ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

For the final 5 minutes of baking, pull peppers out of oven. Divide the sauce evenly over the peppers and place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is warm and cheese is bubbly.

Serve with sweet corn pitas. Combine all ingredients together and let rest for 45 minutes. Tear off chunks of dough and roll out with a rolling pin. Cook on a hot griddle for about 20 seconds per side.

Cauliflower and Arugula Soup with Tibetan Flatbread

Because the weather is chilly, and because I had a bag of arugula from the last farm box taunting me, only to be compounded by a fresh bag of arugula from the recent farm box, I decided to try this soup I found from a blog associated with a California-based CSA, Eat Outside the Box . Cauliflower and Arugula Soup Eat Outside the Box farm blog 1 head cauliflower 1 red or white onion, peeled and chopped 3/4 lb zucchini, peeled and chopped 1/4 lb arugula 15 oz stock 15 oz water 1 T olive oil salt and pepper Parmesan cheese, grated First, let me state how important it is to wash your arugula before using it. I don't know about you, but sometimes I get lazy and rely on the "well, if it doesn't kill me, it'll just make me stronger" approach to washing my foods and vegetables. This laziness is only enhanced when the food I'm considering has come from an organic farm. But leaving aside all the various things that can get on the food

Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles

I love this dish so much that I can barely stand it. Delicious the night it was made, and fantastic as leftovers throughout the week. Mayocoba beans are easily replaced -- try pintos, if you can't find mayocobas. Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles Baptism of Fire 3-4 green chiles, roasted and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 T lard or olive oil 1/2 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin pepper 1 c mayocoba beans, dry 3 c water 1 tsp salt Cook the green chiles, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and black pepper in the fat until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the beans sit, uncovered, for an hour. You may drain the water to remove some of the slightly indigestible sugars that cause gassiness. If you decide to drain them, add enough water back into the pot to cover the beans with about 2" of water above the beans for cooking.  Bring the beans back to a boil and cook, until tender. This will take

Chilled Soba Noodles with Cucumber, Snow Peas, and Radishes

  We destroyed these. In a good way. It's a lovely-to-look-at dish, chock full of vegetables. More so than I had anticipated, and more so than most soba noodle dishes I've made in the past. We absolutely gobbled this up! Served here with a five-spice chicken and smashed cucumbers.  The original calls for nori. We don't love nori so left it out. Maybe we are missing a part of the experience, but even without it, this was delicious.  Chilled Soba Noodles with Cucumber, Snow Peas, and Radishes Cook's Illustrated 8 oz soba noodles 3 T white miso paste 3 T mirin 2 T toasted sesame oil 1 T sesame seeds 1 tsp ginger, grated 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1/3 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise, seeded, sliced thin 4 oz snow peas, strings removed, cut lengthwise into matchsticks 4 radishes, trimmed, halved, sliced thin into half-moons 3 scallions, sliced thin Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot.
