CHARRED CHILI RELLENO WITH GREEN RICE
I am lucky in a thousand ways but got even luckier when the best Mexican in NYC opened practically right outside my door! Mexicana Mama serves roasted rellenos - I thought they all had to be battered, fattening and fried, no? NO! Sadly, the restaurant closes once a week for an entire day and night. So, on Mondays, I make this dish at home. It's so healthy, you might want to double the recipe because you can have guilt-free seconds!
