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.

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...

Curried Chicken Soup

I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it. Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...

Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa

This was very very good. The soup itself was flavorful and would have been enough as a dinner soup. But adding the dumplings converted this soup into an entree. The couscous addition in the batter makes the dumplings pretty foolproof -- no real concern that they'll still be raw because most of the bulk is couscous, which was already cooked. I opted to cook only enough dumplings as we needed that night. We will have to make future dumplings "on demand" as we eat this as leftovers.
