Recipes

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds poblano chiles

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 large white onion, finely chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

5 large garlic cloves, minced

One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 quart low-sodium chicken broth

Kosher salt

1 slice of white sandwich bread

1/4 cup milk

1/2 pound ground chicken

1/2 pound ground pork

1 teaspoon pure ancho chile powder

One 15-ounce can white hominy, drained

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast the poblanos directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until charred all over. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel, stem and seed the chiles. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.

In an enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Add the onion, cumin, coriander and 4 of the garlic cloves. Cook over low heat until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the pureed poblanos and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and broth and season with salt. Simmer over low heat until slightly reduced and the spinach begins to break down, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mash the bread to a paste with the milk. Add the chicken, pork, chile powder, the remaining garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt and gently knead to combine. Roll tablespoons of the mixture into meatballs and add to the chili with the hominy. Simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve.


Hearty Beef Stew (Ghostly Beef Stew Dinner Recipe for Halloween)

Source thescramble.com

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup flour (use wheat/gluten-free if needed)

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 yellow or white onion, diced

1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
8 oz. tomato sauce

1/2 cup red wine, (or use tomato juice with a splash of balsamic vinegar)

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. dried thyme

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

3 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

Dredge the meat in the flour and reserve 1 Tbsp. of the flour.  Heat the oil over medium heat in a large stockpot and brown the meat in a single layer, flipping it once or twice, until it is almost cooked through, 6-8 minutes.  Reduce the heat if it is getting too brown.

Remove the meat from the pan and add the onions and 1 Tbsp. flour.  Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes until they begin to brown.  Return the meat to the pot and add the broth, tomato sauce, wine or juice, Worcestershire, salt and thyme.  Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and cover it.  Simmer it for 45 – 60 minutes.

Add the carrots and potatoes and cover and simmer the stew for 45 minutes more, until the meat and vegetables are tender.  (Meanwhile, warm the bread, if you are serving it.)  Serve it right away or refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or let it cool and freeze it for up to 3 months.


Halloween Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

1 ½ cups cooked brown rice

4 medium bell peppers

¾ pound ground sirloin

1 cup chopped onion

½ cup chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground allspice

1 cup bottled tomato-and-basil pasta sauce, divided

½ cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

½ cup chicken broth

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F

Wash the peppers. Cut jack-o’-lantern faces into the peppers with a sharp paring knife, making triangle eyes and nose, and pointy-teeth smiles. Slice off the tops of the peppers and scoop out the seeds and cores.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and the next 5 ingredients (beef through allspice); cook 4 minutes or until beef is lightly browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from heat. Add rice, ½ cup pasta sauce, and cheese to beef mixture, stirring to combine.

While beef cooks, combine ½ cup pasta sauce and chicken broth in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.

Spoon about ¾ cup beef mixture into each pepper. Place peppers in a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray; add chicken broth/sauce mixture to pan. Cover with foil and bake for about 35–40 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 5 minutes.
