Simply, the best. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Roast for 20 minutes until tender. Add shallots after 20 minutes, cook for additional 20 minutes. Add water to sauce if reduced too much to create medium thick syrup. Serve with main course over leaf lettuce, using remaining syrup as dressing. Drizzle with olive oil and/or lemon juice, if desired.

Main Courses

Last Day Breakfast Strata

  • 1 1/2 cups of Cream, Half n’ half or Milk
  • 1/3 lb Morningstar veggie sausage
  • 3/4 cup of Gruyère cheese
  • 1 Zucchini
  • 2 cups of Spinach
  • 1/2 cup of Onion, shallot, leek and/or garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Calabrian chili
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cheddar or parmesan to finish

It seems like on the last day of ski vacations, there are always leftover bread and eggs. This can be made any number of ways, just use your imagination! Rub a 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Sauté your veggies and add to the combined ingredients (which can sit for hours). Pour mixture into the prepared dish, top with cheddar or Parmesan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Fabulous!

Mexican Lasagna

  • 5″ deep x 7.5″ casserole dish
  • 1 cup each Sharp Cheddar and Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • 1 jars salsa (green or red)
  • 1 can refried beans
  • Black olives, one can be chopped
  • Corn tortillas
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 ear corn (or canned corn), roasted in husk, then shucked
  • 2 zucchini, coins
  • 2 carrots, coins
  • ½ red pepper, chopped

Roast veggies at 425 degrees for 30 minutes with salt and olive oil in pyre dish. Ear of corn roasted on rack aside veggies. Peel husk, then use knife to separate corn kernels from husk and combine with veggies, set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Alternate layers of salsa, tortilla, refried beans, salsa, Monterrey jack cheese, tortilla, veggies, salsa, cheese, tortilla, olives, jalapeno, rings, scallions, salsa, cheese, etc. until 4-5 layers created. Have fun! Top final layer with sharp cheddar and back at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with guacamole, sour cream and Mexican pozole (see recipe).

Zucchini cake pocket sandwiches

Zucchini cakes broken in half, stuffed into a pita pocket, served with halved grape or cherry tomatoes, a schmear of roasted red pepper hummus, tzatziki, and top with arugula. This reminds me of falafel but is lighter and sooooo good.

 Zucchini Cakes

  • 3-5 Zucchini or yellow squash, grated
  • 1 poblano (ancho) pepper, roasted, blistered and peeled, then chopped (can substitute can of roasted green chiles)
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 3 T mayonnaise
  • 1 T Baking Powder
  • Panko

Using box grater, coarsely grate 3-5 zucchinis onto an open sheet of paper towel. Squeeze the zucchini gratings to absorb excess moisture, then empty into medium mixing bowl. Add scallions, chopped Poblano pepper, egg, baking powder, mayonnaise, then combine, coat both sides in Panko and fry until lightly browned. Transfer to paper towel and serve!

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

  • Garbanzo beans, 1 15 oz. can, drained and rinsed
  • Garlic, 1 small clove, crushed
  • Tahini, ¼ cup
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Sea salt, 1 t or to taste
  • Roasted Red pepper, halved, blistered and peeled
  • Dash of cayenne pepper
  • Olive oil, ¼ cup, more to drizzle
  • Dash of paprika

Combine ingredients in food processor after preparing roasted pepper. I like to do this on an outdoor grill but simply holding the pepper halves over an open gas flame indoors works well. Once the skin has begun to turn black and blister, transfer to a paper bag and allow the pepper skin to “steam” off for 5 minutes. Once combined in food processor, transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and dash with Paprika.

Tzatziki

  • Plain Greek Yogurt (I prefer 0% fat free Fage— if only because there is a little fag in each container)
  • Zest of ¼ lemon
  • Juice of ¼ lemon
  • ½ cucumber, finely cubed
  • Dash of salt
  • Fresh dill, chopped finely
  • Shallot or red onion, finely chopped
  • Honey (optional—just a couple dots)

Combine ingredients and serve

Cabbage Rolls

  • ½ Green Cabbage, steamed (microwaved for 2 minutes in bowl with water is fine), longer if needed. The cabbage leaves should peel away and be soft and pliable.
  • 1 cup combined parmesan, reggiano or other savory cheese, shredded coarsely
  • 1 yellow Onion, chopped and slowly sautéed until caramelized
  • Zucchini squash, coins
  • Zucchini blossoms (if available), chopped
  • Salt/pepper
  • Sun dried tomatoes, handful chopped
  • 1 Cup cooked rice
  • Chopped parsley, basil or other fresh herbs

Sautee the onions first in olive oil. Add small amount of butter. Once caramelized, combine all ingredients in bowl and stuff cabbage leaves individually. Should create 10-20 cabbage leaves, enough to cover 8 x 13 inch baking dish.

Butternut Squash Enchiladas

  • ½ Butternut Squash, Peeled, seeded and Cubed
  • ½ Yellow Onion, chopped in strips
  • ½ Red Pepper, cut in strips
  • Vegetable broth, 1-2 cups
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Marjoram, 1t.
  • Cheese ½ cup each ColbyJack and Queso Fresco or grateable Goat Cheese
  • Corn Tortillas, 8-10

Enchilada Sauce:

  • 8 Oz. Can Tomato Sauce plus 8 oz. can Salsa de Chile Fresco (or Tomato Sauce)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • Honey, 1 t.
  • New Mexican Red Chile Powder 1T.
  • Jalapeno, seeded and sliced (optional if spice is not your thing)
  • Dash Cinnamon

Enchiladas: Sautee onions for 30-45 minutes in olive oil and sea salt (may add teaspoon butter to raise burn point) until caramelized and just browned, stirring frequently over very low heat. When caramelized, add peppers and cubed squash. Sautee 4-5 minutes, then add 1 cup broth, adding more just enough to keep squash from sticking and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until squash is soft and all liquid is gone.

Sauce: Sautee Garlic for 1-2 minutes in small saucepan. Add tomato and chile fresco and remaining ingredients. Simmer on low for 20 minutes until ready to top enchiladas. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Coat each enchilada with sauce and stuff with mixture of squash and cheese, creating roll in bottom of 8×13 inch baking dish. May use flour tortillas. Although more crumbly, I like the flavor of the corn tortillas. Pour entire sauce over stuffed enchiladas and top with cotija, cheddar or remaining cheese. Bake 30 minutes until all is bubbly and melted. Serve with Spanish rice, sour cream, Guacamole and/or Gringa Salsa Verde (see separate recipe). This dish is slightly sweet, salty and spicy. Delicious and healthy without anyone knowing.

Smothered Black Bean Burritos

  • 1 14 oz. Can Black Beans
  • ½ Yellow Onion, Chopped
  • 5-6 Marinated Jalapeno slices, finely chopped
  • ½ Red Pepper, cut in strips
  • 1 cup cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Red Tomato, chopped
  • Cilantro and Sour Cream for garnish

When buying marinated Jalapenos, buy the small jar (14 oz.) unless you use them every day or eat them from the jar. When I first moved to the Southwest, I mistakenly bought a one gallon jar because there was only 20 cents difference in cost, thereby cementing my reputation as a gringa stupida.

Sauces, dips, and dressings, oh my!

Vegetarian Green Chile

  • 5-6 Roasted Green Chiles (Pueblo or Anaheim), peeled, veined, and chopped
  • 1 Large yellow Onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 small Russett potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 red potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ½ Red Pepper, chopped or in strips
  • 6 cups water (more if necessary)
  • 1 T. ground Cumin
  • 1t. salt (Kosher or sea salt)
  • 1 T. Butter
  • 3-4 T. Flour

Sautee onions until clear, then create a roux in the corner of the same pot by melting butter and whisking in flour over medium heat. When the roux has thickened and browned slightly, add potatoes, green chile, red pepper, garlic, cumin and salt. Sautee 5-10 minutes, then add water and simmer. When potatoes are soft blend half the liquid/solid mixture. Chile should be creamy, spicy and rich.

Green chile is a southwestern staple. It is served with burritos (smothered), huevos rancheros, over garlic mashed potatoes or simply as a stew. Pretty much you could put this over chocolate and it would be sensational. In New Mexico you can often find it cooked vegetarian though in Colorado, pork is seemingly always included. The flavor of pork is fine but I don’t miss it a bit in this concoction.

  • Cilantro, handful

Set finely chopped tomato aside. Combine remaining ingredients in Food Processor and pulse. Add tomato, stir, and serve.

Having been called a city girl, it has come as a surprise to many of my friends that I love to cook Southwestern food. This simple salsa is great as a dip or as an accompaniment to Enchilada dishes. This one you’ll make again and again. The salsa is so pretty, one could serve at Christmas.

Simple Marinara

  • 2- 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ t. dried basil

Stuff using one large tablespoon of goat cheese mixture per squash blossom.

Coat each blossom in egg wash and pat into panko (separate bowls).

Arrange in single layer in shallow baking dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until panko beginning to brown.

Serve with vermicelli pasta and marinara.
