Poblano And Tomatillo Dressing Recipes

CHICKEN WITH TOMATILLOS AND POBLANOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Roast peppers for about 25 minutes, until the skins can easily be removed. Remove skins, and chop peppers.
• In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peppers with tomatillos, onion, red pepper, green onion, and garlic. Stir in chicken broth. Heat to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, then saute briefly. Pour tomatillo mixture over chicken. Season with oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the cilantro just before serving.

POBLANO AND TOMATILLO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Position rack about 6 inches from heat. Place poblano and tomatillos on a small baking sheet with sides. Place under broiler until tomatillos soften, and pepper skin blackens, tossing frequently for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, place pepper in a small bowl, and cover with plastic wrap to steam, about 10 minutes.
• When cool, remove husks from tomatillos, and place in bowl of food processor. Remove seeds from pepper and scrape off skin. Add half of pepper to processor with tomatillos, along with cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and sugar. Puree until smooth and emulsified, about 30 seconds. Set aside. Cut remaining half pepper into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside for salad, if using.

POBLANO-TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to medium heat.
• Grill chiles and tomatillos 7 to 8 min. or until softened and charred on all sides, turning occasionally.
• Place chiles in bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 20 min.
• Remove and discard skins and seeds from chiles. Finely chop chiles and tomatillos; place in medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly.

VEGAN SPICY POBLANO & TOMATILLO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Put the tomatillos and peppers in a pan under the broiler for 7 minutes or until they char. Turn them and keep them in for 5 more minutes.
• Empty the tomatillos and peppers (and any collected drippings from the pan you broiled them on) into a food processor with garlic cloves and process until very smooth.
• Put the vegetable blend into a large saucepan with the broth and add lentils. Cover and cook until lentils are tender (15 minutes with red or yellow lentils, 20-25 for green, french or black) and turn off the heat.
• While that cooks, drain your beans, put them in a bowl and partly mash them (just take a large slotted spoon and crunch down on them sporadically)
• Add the beans, cilantro and nutritional yeast into the cooked lentil mix and stir together.
• While that settles, make the enchilada sauce by melting together the flour and margarine to make a roux, then whisking in broth, tomato paste and chili powder. Stirring constantly, cook over medium/high heat until thick and bubbly. Add a dash of cayenne or chipotle to taste if you like it a little hotter.
• You can make this casserole style (layering the tortillas with the filling and sauce) or traditional roll-up style.
• Coat the bottom of your pan with a 1/2 c of the enchilada sauce, then spoon the filling into tortillas and roll them, placing them closely in the pan, then top with enchilada sauce for traditional rolled enchiladas.
• Coat the bottom of the pan with 1/2 c of the sauce, then layer tortillas, filling, sauce, tortillas, filling, sauce, tortillas, sauce if making casserole style.
• If you like a cheesy top, sprinkle on Daiya or nutritional yeast then cover the top of the casserole with foil. In honesty, I can only recommend Daiya if you want a vegan cheese. Every other vegan cheese I've tried tastes gruesome. The recipe is amazingly flavorful without any cheese, but if you must, use Daiya.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then remove the foil if you've topped it with Daiya for the final 10 minutes. Without cheese, you can keep foil on the whole time.

ROASTED TOMATILLO-POBLANO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place tomatillos, chiles (both types), onion, and garlic on the parchment and drizzle on olive oil. Add salt to taste and toss together with your hands. Place in oven and roast 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until blistered and softened. Remove from heat.
• Place roasted vegetables, with any juice from the pan, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse until well blended but not puréed. Add cilantro, cumin, avocado and lime juice and pulse until blended. Taste and adjust salt. Serve at once or store in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving.

ROASTED TOMATILLO-POBLANO SALSA

Steps:

• Roast uncovered 15 minutes or until vegetables are browned and tender.
• Place poblano chiles in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel poblano chiles; discard seeds and membranes.
