  1. Chile Poblano, onion, and chorizo cream tacos with feta, jalapeno, cilantro, Mexican oregano, etc. Rajas con crema is one of my favorite things.

  3. Keema for a young man and woman who emigrated from Pakistan. No pressure. :wink:

     

    Added baby potatoes, diced zucchini, and roasted chile Poblano that needed using up. Young woman made Basmati rice, diced the onions, and brought over matcha chocolate muffins.

  4. Seared zucchini and yellow squash, sauteed with onion, ginger, garlic, and habanero chiles, simmered with coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala, and then finished with fish sauce, cilantro, and lime juice. Lotsa flavor! Microwave rice to go with.

    It's pretty unlikely the chile rellenos were made using Hatch chiles. They don't have the structure necessary for stuffing and deep frying. They would just end up in shreds. Best to use poblanos for that dish; pick the flattest most straight peppers in the bunch.  

     

    The ones I had were baked (maybe broiled), not coated and deep-fried.

     

    Sloppy but delicious. 🙂

    When I lived in NM hot poblanos were a given. You bought them anywhere. I can't tell you how much I miss good chile rellenos. . . .

     

    I have also enjoyed excellent chile rellenos in New Mexico, but I am pretty sure they were made with New Mexico / Hatch chiles rather than Poblanos.

     

    Were the ones you had chile poblano or something else?

     

    I think my favorite was made with

    We went for a short (1 overnight) trip to the Northern Neck (a region in Virginia off the east coast) to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary.  Stopped in Tappahannock . . .

     

    Firstly, congratulations!

     

    Have you ever tried the lobster rolls at NN Burger in Tappahannock? Best I have had south of Connecticut. 😃

  8. Huevos manchamanteles redux: fried tortilla, over-easy egg and leftover mole, topped with pickled jalapenos, feta, and Mexican oregano. Complex, spicy, tangy, salty, crunchy, rich, and aromatic. Apologies for the picture framing - apparently I was in a hurry to chow down. :laugh:

  9.  Marinated chicken wings with lots of crushed garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Cooked wings in the air fryer (thanks Mrs. C!) and ate half as is. The other half were glazed with a cooked-down mix of the marinade and chile jam and then tossed with fried shallots. Will make again.

  10. Turkey keema with spinach. Zucchini and yellow squash with coconut milk and a spice paste of ginger, garlic, chiles, curry leaves, cilantro, and grated coconut. Both of us liked the green sauce very much, will make again.

  11. Huevos manchamanteles? Leftover sauce (with sweet potato, apple, and raisins), over-easy egg, and a fried tortilla, topped with diced cilantro and pickled jalapeno. Basically, huevos rancheros topped with mole rather than ranch sauce. I might do that again tomorrow.

  12. Manchamanteles (“tablecloth stainer”). Chicken thighs, sweet potato, apples, and raisins. Sauce was chile ancho and guajillo (toasted and soaked) sauteed onion and garlic, sliced almonds (toasted), crackers (crushed) and ground cloves, black peppercorns, and cinnamon, all blended in the Preethi and then fried. Simmered slowly and finished with Mexican oregano, cider vinegar and a little sugar.

    We had just watched “Somebody Feed Phil” visit Oaxaca, I was craving mole, and this is one of the simpler ones to make.

    Arroz Poblana with jasmine rice, onion, garlic, chicken stock, and roasted chile Poblano.


    Young ladies visited again to work glass with Mrs. C, stayed for dinner, and provided lovely baked goods (coffee pound cake enjoyed but not pictured)

  13. Meatball and sweet potato stew with peanut butter, tomato, Indian spices, whole pistachios, and . . . I don't really know what else Mrs. C used. Reminded me of the "peanut chop" recipe that followed Mom's side of the family home from their time in Ghana.

  15. A Very White Dish: Alaskan cod, mashed cauliflower (microwave), remoulade. All courtesy of Mrs. C

    Dry-fried green beans, vegetarian version: sliced garlic and ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, facing-heaven chiles, shallot (sub for scallion), salt. Easier and equally as good as the ground pork version.

  16. Hot and sour shrimp salad with cucumber, poached green beans, shallot, lemongrass, cilantro, and mint. Dressing was lime juice with roasted chile paste, fish sauce, sugar, and a sliced red habanero. Thai salads are some of my favorite things, I should make them more often.

     

    Stir-fried broccoli with fermented black beans and garlic, finished with lemon juice (we were out of rice vinegar), a little chicken stock, and sesame oil.

  17. Alaskan rockfish fillets simmered with a spicy sauce (bplah dtom saep). Paste was pureed shallot, garlic, habanero chiles (sub for bird chiles), and white peppercorns. Sauce included slivered ginger, palm sugar, fish sauce, and water. Simmered the fish until done, removed, and cooked down the sauce by half. I will definitely make this again.

    Cabbage with tomato and spices (cayenne, cumin, turmeric). Sauteed chopped onion, jalapenos, and ginger for 30 minutes until browned, added the cabbage and spices, and then simmered with crushed tomato.

     

    Cucumber relish with slivered ginger and shallots, sliced  jalapeno, and chopped cilantro. Syrup was diluted rice vinegar, palm sugar, and salt. Very clean and refreshing.
