REFRIED BEAN, ZUCCHINI AND CORN GRATIN



Refried Bean, Zucchini and Corn Gratin image

This is my own interpretation of a traditional Southwestern dish (that has many interpretations) called Three Sisters Casserole. Three Sisters refers to the Native American practice of growing corn, beans and squash in the same field. I've seen many different recipes for Three Sisters Casserole and Three Sisters Gratin, some using winter squash, more using summer squash. Sometimes the vegetables are combined and topped with a layer of polenta. In this version, each element gets its own flavorful layer. Although you can use canned beans for the dish, I urge you to use simmered beans because the refried beans will taste best if you reduce them in their flavorful broth.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups simmered black beans or pinto beans, with liquid (see recipe)
2 tablespoons grapeseed or sunflower oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, ground
1 chipotle in adobo, seeded and minced (optional)
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon mild or hot chili powder (more to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds zucchini or mixed zucchini and yellow squash, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1/2 to 1 teaspoon oregano, preferably Mexican oregano, to taste
2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 serrano chile, minced
1/4 cup cornmeal or polenta
Salt to taste
1/2 cup grated asadero, Monterey Jack or pecorino
1/4 cup crumbled queso cotijo, queso fresco, or feta
1 tablespoon butter or extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Oil or butter a 2-quart baking dish or gratin dish.
  • Refry beans: Drain off about 1/2 cup of liquid from beans, retaining it in a separate bowl to use later for moistening beans, should they dry out. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan and add ground cumin and chili. Cook, stirring over medium heat, for about a minute, until the spices begin to sizzle and cook. Add beans and optional chipotle. Fry beans, stirring and mashing with the back of a spoon, until they thicken and form a thin crust on the bottom of the pan. Stir up crust and mix into the beans. Cook until beans are thick but not dry, about 10 minutes. Add liquid you saved from the beans if they seem too dry. Taste refried beans and adjust salt (they probably won't need any as the broth reduces when you refry them). Spread in an even layer in the baking dish. (Note: If you use canned beans, do not drain. The frying process will go more quickly.)
  • Clean and dry skillet. Heat over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add squash, oregano, salt and pepper, and turn up heat slightly. Cook, stirring often or tossing in pan, until squash is translucent and tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spread in an even layer over the beans.
  • Combine corn and milk in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until corn is just tender. Stir in cornmeal and minced serrano, add salt to taste, and continue to simmer until mixture is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in grated cheese. Remove from heat and spread in an even layer over squash. Sprinkle crumbled cheese over top. Dot with butter or drizzle on oil.
  • Place in oven and bake 25 minutes, until bubbly and crumbled cheese is lightly browned. Serve hot or warm.

Stuffed Zucchini Bites with Black Beans and Corn image

These zucchini bites are filled with sauteed black beans and corn, then topped with Cotija for an easy vegetarian lunch or dinner.

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound zucchini, sliced crosswise into 1 1/2- to 2-inch rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ear corn, kernels removed
Grated Cotija, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a melon baller, carefully scoop out a little spot in the center of each zucchini round for the filling to sit, making sure to leave about a 1/2-inch "floor" at the bottom. Put the scooped zucchini centers on a cutting board, season with salt and pepper and chop.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the beans, corn and chopped zucchini centers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the zucchini begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stuff the zucchini cups with the filling and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until the zucchini is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with grated Cotija and serve.

ZUCCHINI STEW - VEGETARIAN



Zucchini Stew - Vegetarian image

This chunky stew delightfully uses the abundant zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and green beans my garden produces. It is perfect for a summer dinner or a cool weather lunch. I serve it with buttered crusty bread. Use your largest dutch oven to make this recipe, as it makes a lot! Leftovers freeze well. Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to suit your tastes. The amount listed will give a mild tongue tingle. I usually chop up and throw in the entire green pepper, unless I can use the other half within a couple of days.

Greek Potato, Zucchini, and Bean Stew image

As the weather turns chilly, my tastes immediately turn to comforting stews and thick soups. Though I am not a vegetarian, I enjoy having meatless meals a couple of times a week. Saw this one on cooking Light and wanted to post it for future reference. For those on the WW Core program, the stew is Core plus points for the feta garnish.
