BLACK BEAN AND CHORIZO RAVIOLI WITH MEXICAN CREAM CHILI SAUCE
Steps:
- Directions For the filling Take casing off of the chorizo and cook slowly until borown. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Put chorizo in food prossers and puls until it has a fine ground texture Drain can of black beans and place in food processor blend until smooth Mix in the reaming ingredients and set aside makes about 24 raviolis For the Sauce Place all ingredients for the sauce in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Heat until cream has melted and is well blended stirring occasionally. Keep warm until ready to serve For the dough Measure all ingredients in a food processor with a dough hook and mix until it forms a ball. Then knead dough on a floured smooth surface. If dough is too stiff, add small amounts of water until the dough feels like play dough. Cover dough in bowl with a damp cloth and work with small amounts of dough at a time. Roll pasta out using a roller machine, beginning with the widest setting. Fold dough over and roll through again, gradually decreasing the roller setting; dust lightly with flour as needed When pasta is thin enough it is ready to make raviolis. If you don not have a ravioli mold you can place on sheet of dough on a smooth surface cut into 1 ½ to 2 inch squares placing filling into the middle of each square, then cover with another sheet of dough and seal with your fingers or if you have little time you can use store bought won ton wrappers. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil add ½ the raviolis and cook until ravioli floats. Remove from water and keep warm and then cook the other ½ ravioli. Place warm sauce on raviolis and serve Can be toped with cilantro and crumbled queso fresco if you have any
CHILE RELLENO WITH CHORIZO, BLACK BEANS, SALSA VERDE AND LIME CREMA
Steps:
- To make the sauce, preheat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, jalapeño and sliced onions and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and blistered on all sides but not completely charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and wipe out any charred pieces that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan; reserve the pan. Coarsely chop the tomatillos, jalapeño and onions and add to a blender along with half of the garlic, the cilantro leaves and the zest and juice of 2 limes. Blend the sauce until smooth. Season with salt.
- Heat a large saute pan with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the other half of the garlic and the cilantro stems and saute until slightly softened and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chorizo and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add the black beans, pepper jack cheese, 1 egg and salt to taste. Mix to combine.
- Place the poblanos on an open flame on your stovetop. Cook, flipping occasionally, until completely black and charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam until the skin pulls away, about 10 minutes. (If you don't have a gas stovetop, you can broil the pepper in the oven on high, turning occasionally, until charred.) Remove the skin from the pepper and wipe off any excess black char. Make a small slit lengthwise down the center of one side of the poblanos, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the seeds and ribs. Stuff each pepper with some of the filling, being careful not to overfill the peppers or else they will burst while frying. Close up the pepper by securing it with toothpicks.
- Separate the remaining 2 eggs into two large bowls. Add a pinch of salt into each bowl. Whip the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat the egg yolks for about 30 seconds until well incorporated, then pour the yolks into the bowl with the egg whites and continue to beat until combined for another minute. To a third bowl, add the flour. Dip the stuffed poblanos into the egg mixture first, and then into the flour. If you feel like the stuffed poblano is not well coated, you can do a double dredge.
- Fill the reserved cast-iron pan with 2 inches of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Test the oil with a little flour and, if it sizzles, it's ready. Gently lay a dredged poblano into the oil and fry on the first side until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, then fry for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate, season immediately with salt and allow to drain. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with a rack so they don't get soggy. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Mix together the crema and juice and zest of the remaining lime in a small bowl. Set aside.
- To serve, spoon some of the green chile sauce onto the bottom of the plate. Lay the fried poblano over the top of the sauce. Garnish with the cotija cheese. Spoon some of the lime crema alongside the fried chile.

BLACK BEAN-CHORIZO STEW
This chili-like stew relies on spicy, fresh green chorizo for its bright, zesty flavor. It only takes half an hour to make your own green chorizo, but you can substitute any kind of fresh (uncured) store-bought sausage, as long as it's got a kick. Then add some chopped garlic, along with minced parsley and roasted poblano pepper for the green factor. Serve it over rice, or with corn or flour tortillas on the side. Here are several other dishes you can make with chorizo.
