Hi Susie - chile rellanos Yucatacan Stew for you

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie,

That's the rellano recipe. When you are done with your detox you might want to

give this recipe a try. I find those whole canned chili's in the market isle

with salsa and enchilada sauce. Usually in a small can like a chopped olive

can. The chilis are all folded so several fit in a small can.

I wanted to tell you that my brother-in-laws brother is visiting from Yucatan

and he made the best lentil soup. The weather is so hot and humid down there

that they cook in top of the stove and make soups served slightly warm.

He used a package of lentils and the usual spices like cumin, chopped cilantro,

along with carrots, celery, chayote squash, but he also tossed 3 serrano peppers

in the pot whole, not diced, fire roasted the whole garlic bulb until the skin

turned black, on the burner and tossed the whole bulb in the soup (it's mild

this way and you can eat the cloves if you like and also squeeze then on bread)

and he bought a very large plantain (plantanos) banana and said you use it when

the skin is mixed yellow & black for a good taste. He took the plantain banana

and scrubbed the skin with a wire brush and then left the skin on and cut it in

2 inch circles and cooked in the soup. The spicy soup was wonderful and here

and there you have this slightly sweet taste of the plantain when you remove the

peel and eat from the soup bowl, it's also an extremely attractive bowl of soup.

He tossed the diced potatoes and zucchini in at the last 15 minutes of cooking.

He's a chef in Cancun and this soup is

much admired where he works. He just calls it Yucatacan Stew and I had a hard

time understanding the directions since he speaks little English, so luckily my

sister speaks Spanish and we wrote this down. I was thinking of you when I sdaw

it cooking knowing how your love spicy food and lentils.

Enjoy your day, it's just starting for me. I'm not going to like when my

vacation is over.Donna

hi donna,

 

i just went and found your chile rellanos recipe (and

posted it in the files...see below). i didn't realize

you could get the large roasted chiles in a can. i'll

keep my eye out for them (if i can't find them, i'll

just roast my own). i'll have to try them one of

these days (i'm wheat-free and dairy-free right

now...detox diet). thanks for directing me to the

recipe.
