some things quite new to me :
over on the Tj's thread , @JAZ, @Jacksoup, and @Smithy tried out the Fz chile rellenos . Ive never had a chile relleno.
first off : Mex-tex did not arrive where I grew up ( SF peninsula ) until the mid-60's . there then was a spectacular Mexican restaurant
in Los Altos called Estrellita's it was super. why wast a meal w a C.R. , which looked suspiciously like a stuff GBP ?. My mother made
stuffed GBP a few times in the '50's , and they were awful . @C. sapidus uses poblano's in a variety f dishes .
and the Tj's fz versions were quite good ,l out of the AF. I asked at MarketBasket re poblanos , and sure enough , they had them .
I got 4 and was going to roast them over the gas burner on the stove. but i only had those thin plastic bags used for produce.
then an advent : use Corning-ware ! I heated up some water in the CW in the micro , and used that
I was going to use these in some sort of corn tortilla stack // melt.
I had some CkThighs , that needed a home , and used some Campbells Cr of mushroom soup : No Added Salt
in a pot with no ' i ' for a change
I haven't used this pan in years . it's an outstanding pan , from BB&B's early days , on sale , also using a ubiquitous coupon.
poblanos ( 4 ) diced
chicken , saute then 180 F IDS 1 hour
diced
two cans Cr of mushroom soup ( not diluted , poblanos , chicken and a little freshly grated nutmeg . If its White , Nutmeg is Nice.
brought to a simmer , temp turned down for an hour or so , to let the flavors melt together . I initially planned on the
cheese that melted ,and maybe more mushrooms . glad I did not add those , as I probably forgot . Less is sometimes More.
came out just the say I wanted. the proportions of what i had ( 4 poblano's , 4 ChThighs 2 cans CrMushroom ) were
just right.
my usual current Spinach // Rice base
I was going to add a little butter to the rice when done in the FT-RC. forgot . as nice as butter w rice is , this was better in the end
Less is More x 2 .
creamy chicken and poblano w hints of mushrooms . I knew the mixture was going to be good. it was better than good . I tasted it !
some fresh Campari and window green onions .
5 stars for sure.
less is more sometimes.
