Chorizo stuffed poblanos with chipotle salsa

We still mean to get more of our Guatemala photos up, but for now, a recipe inspired by our trip: poblanos, charred, peeled and stuffed with a filling of chorizo, potato and cilantro, served with a slightly spicy, smoky chipotle salsa. Let me start off by affirming this is not an authentic Guatemalan recipe, nor is it a true chile rellenos, as the latter are typically … Continue reading Chorizo stuffed poblanos with chipotle salsa

Regaining balance: baked chicken taquitos with chipotle black beans

After an indulgent long weekend in New Orleans, a week of healthy eating was in order. But healthy doesn’t have to mean flavorless; we love food too much to eat boring dinners. The first night back we had slow-roasted tomato and garlic spaghetti; the next night I made what I call “French salad”: a combination of lots of chopped vegetables, a little bit of cooked … Continue reading Regaining balance: baked chicken taquitos with chipotle black beans

The word “chipotle” is becoming ubiquitous … Continue reading So easy it’s almost not a recipe: slow-cooker chipotle chicken

Ten pantry items I can’t live without

We all have them: those things in our pantry (or freezer) which, when they are running low, we immediately add to a list, physical or mental, to buy more. I’m not talking about standard items like onions or garlic, milk or butter, or the produce or meat you buy depending on what you are making that week. No, these are the ingredients, unique to each … Continue reading Ten pantry items I can’t live without

Chipotle Chicken Mac & Cheese

Originally published on culturebitch.com, May 12th, 2010 This winter I got really into making mac & cheese from scratch. I’ve tried a few different recipes from various cookbooks, and some are OK, some just mediocre, but the best one yet is in Alice Waters’ The Art of Simple Cooking, upon which this recipe is based. One weekend as I was craving this dish, I happened … Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Mac & Cheese
