1 serrano chile, finely diced with seeds
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
4 Haas avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup red onion, minced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the lamb, in batches, season with salt and pepper, and cook until seared and browned on all sides. Remove the lamb to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the onion to the pan and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chipotle, and spices. Return the lamb to the pan, add the stock and beer; cover and cook at a simmer for over medium heat, about 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and the mixture has thickened. After 30 minutes, check seasoning and add honey. During the last 15 minutes, add the cinnamon and cooked beans. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Ladle into bowls and top with a large dollop of Cumin Crema, Avocado Relish, and Red Onion Relish. Serve with fry bread on the side.

Place on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Cover with a dishcloth and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat the oil in a large high-sided saute pan until it reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece out into a 4-inch circle. Fry the bread in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and season with salt.

Yield 8 first course, 4 entree servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 fresh bay leaf
2 ribs celery with greens, finely chopped (save time and purchase celery already washed, trimmed and cut into sticks, this makes chopping fast work)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning or 2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
6 cups chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can cooked pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat a medium soup pot over medium to medium high heat. Add the oil and melt the butter. Add bay, celery, and onion. Season the veggies with salt and pepper. Cook 6 or 7 minutes, until tender. Add flour, poultry seasoning and hot sauce, to taste, then cook flour a minute. Whisk in chicken stock and bring liquid to a bubble. Whisk in pumpkin in large spoonfuls to incorporate it into the broth. Simmer soup 10 minutes to thicken a bit then add in cream and nutmeg. Reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • While soup cooks, assemble the relish: combine apple, onion, lemon juice, cranberries, chili powder, honey and cinnamon.
  • Adjust seasonings in soup and relish and serve soup in shallow bowls with a few spoonfuls of relish.

PUMPKIN SOUP WITH CHILI CRAN-APPLE RELISH (FROM RACHAEL RAY)



Pumpkin Soup With Chili Cran-Apple Relish (From Rachael Ray) image

Rachael Ray made this soup on her TV Food Network Thanksgiving Special show in 2004, "Thanksgiving in 60" (minutes) -- episode TMSP02. I don't think it appears in any of her cookbooks, because it wouldn't fit into the typical 30 minute meal, but it is available on the TVFN website, at least for a while. I downloaded the recipe, tried it and it tastes as wonderful as I thought it would ... clearly what makes this soup different from all the other "spicy pumpkin soup" recipes is the base of celery and onions, the use of a roux with chicken stock and the spicy relish/garnish ... It looks scary, with all the ingredients, but it's actually very fast, simple and delicious -- exactly as Rachael promised ... and if you love pumpkin soups, this will be a change from the usual ... Also, to make this kosher (meat), substitute coconut milk for the cream and use a kosher chicken stock. Flavor is more like a Thai pumpkin soup, with hot sauce rather than chili paste, but it works quite well. To make it kosher (milk), substitute a vegetable stock for the chicken stock. The mouth feel will be quite different but the flavor should be good. Be careful of the sodium content of the vegetable stock -- you will have to adjust the seasonings and may want to start by skipping the salt entirely in the Vegetable Base part. To make it kosher (parve), do both substitutions -- I have not tried the last two variations, so I can't vouch for the resulting flavor. Rachel says this makes 4 servings as an entree or 8 as a first course. Personally, I found 6 as a first course seemed more reasonable. The dietary information is based on a yield of 8 servings from this recipe.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 fresh bay leaf
2 stalks celery & leaves, finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (modified per review) or 2 teaspoons ground thyme (modified per review)
2 tablespoons hot sauce
6 cups chicken stock
28 ounces cooked pumpkin puree
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 crisp apple, finely chopped (McIntosh or Granny Smith)
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Make the Vegetable Base (steps 2-6).
  • Heat a medium size pot over medium to medium high heat.
  • Add the oil, then the butter (the oil prevents the butter from burning); I prefer unsalted butter, but salted is OK-- just adjust the amount of salt you use in the seasoning step appropriately.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the celery, onion, and bay leaf; If you don't have fresh bay, you can use dried, but you'll have to use less and the amount will depend on how old your herb is.
  • Season with salt and pepper (Remember, you'll be able to adjust seasoning later, and if you're using canned chicken stock, it can be very salty, so if in doubt, go lightly at this stage).
  • Cook until tender, 6-7 minutes.
  • Add the Roux (steps 8-10).
  • Add the flour, poultry seasoning and hot sauce (I use Tabasco, but any brand will do).
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, to let the flour cook-- you want a golden brown color, not a dark brown.
  • Whisk in the chicken stock (I use a low sodium variety, but again, as long as you adjust for the amount of sodium, any brand will do) and bring the liquid to a bubble (above a simmer, but not a boil).
  • Add the Pumpkin and Main Ingredients (steps 12-15).
  • Whisk in the pumpkin in large spoonfuls.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes to let all the ingredients thicken and the flavors come together.
  • Add the cream and nutmeg and stir to combine.
  • Reduce the heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To Make the Chili Cran-Apple Relish (garnish), combine all the relish ingredients (apple, onion, lemon juice, cranberries, chili powder, honey, cinnamon), then adjust the seasonings in the relish.
  • To Serve (Presentation), adjust the seasonings in the soup, serve the soup in shallow bowls, and put several spoonfuls of the relish on top.
  • Enjoy!

  • AVOCADO-CHILI RELISH:.
  • In a bowl whisk together olive oil, cilantro, jalapenos, shallots, and lime juice.

  • Prepare frankfurters as desired.- (We chose to grill them) over medium heat.

  • *When working with hot chile peppers, wear plastic gloves or wash hands well after cutting; the peppers contain oil that may burn skin and eyes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh chilies: Fresher chilies have a better flavor and texture, and they will also last longer.
  • Use a variety of chilies: Different chilies have different flavors and heat levels, so using a variety will give your relish a more complex flavor.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the chilies: This will help to reduce the heat level of the relish, and it will also make it easier to chop.
  • Chop the chilies finely: This will help to distribute the flavor and heat evenly throughout the relish.
  • Use a food processor to make the relish: This will make it easier to achieve a smooth and consistent texture.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: You can add other ingredients to your relish, such as onions, garlic, ginger, or vinegar, to taste.
  • Store the relish in a clean glass jar: This will help to keep it fresh for longer.
