Melt butter and cook zucchini, squash, and onion until softened. Add limas, corn, and green chile and cook until heated. Serve.
Brown the 2 tbsp. of flour in a large dutch oven. Add a bit of chicken broth to turn into a roux, making sure to avoid lumps. Cut the pork shoulder into small cubes, and add it to the pot. Add enough broth to cover. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for a few hours, until the meat is nearly tender.
Add a few tbsp. of the cooking stock to the chile powder in a small bowl, and stir to form a paste. Add the paste to the pot, along with the cumin, mexican oregano, and salt to taste. You may need to thicken by adding either more chile powder or a thickener like flour. Cook the meat with the chile a little longer, until it’s fork-tender.
Limp your corn tortillas in the stock, and serve flat-stack style with cheddar cheese and a fried egg on top.
Another Option: You can replace the 1/4 c. of red chile powder with quite a lot more (maybe as much as half of the standard container, 1-2 cups) liquid Bueno mild red chile. Add some mixture of masa and water (or just flour and water) to the chile at the end to thicken things back up since you’re missing the chile powder.
for serving: additional flour tortillas, picante sauce or pico de gallo, guacamole
Peel the onions. Cut an area off the top on which to set the onion. Hollow out the onions from the root end until about half the center has been removed. [I use the parings for my salsa and/or guac.] Place the onions in a steamer for about 20 minutes or until translucent but not too soft. [I use my microwave steamer, which only accommodates one onion at a time, for about 51/2 minutes per onion.] Remove and let cool on paper towel.
Saute meats and salt and pepper over medium heat for about 12 minutes, stirring constantly until well blended. Drain grease and fill onion cavities with stuffing. Place onions in a casserole and top with a slice of cheese. Cook uncovered in a 350 degree over for about 10 minutes, then broil until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately on the center of a warm flour tortilla with additional tortillas, picante and/or guacamole.
Cream sugar, flour, and butter. Blend in eggs. Add baking soda, vanilla, and buttermilk. Pour into two (yes, two) crusts. Bake at 300–325 degrees, for at least 1 hour or until set.
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time. Add crumbs, vanilla, coconut, and nuts. Bake in tube pan that has been greased and lightly dusted with flour at 325 for 1 1/2 hours.
Mash up, make balls, dry on waxed paper, roll in powdered sugar. Undiluted frozen tangerine juice concentrate can be used instead of rum (without cocoa).
Cook needed amount of rice (white or brown) for the folks you are feeding. Cool. Toss with sour cream or yogurt to coat (you don’t want it to be gummy or soupy) and a healthy quantity of chopped cilantro. Put in a well-greased casserole and top with grated parmesan. Cover with foil and bake 20-30 minutes. Remove foil and cook until golden on top.
Mix and bake at 350 until bubbly.
Optional: sliced avocado to garnish. Can be served with salsa.
Combine salad ingredients in large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and stir in. Refrigerate - it is better the second day.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch deep-dish glass pie dish. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang under; crimp edges decoratively. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans. Bake until edges begin to brown, about 17 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until golden brown, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to rack. Maintain oven temperature.
Whisk pumpkin, sugar, and honey in large bowl. Whisk in eggs 1 at a time. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups cream, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into crust. Bake pie until set, covering edges with foil collar if browning too fast, about 60 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 6 hours ahead.) Serve at room temperature with whipped cream.
