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.

STIR-FRIED BABY SQUASH, LONG BEANS, CORN AND CHILES WITH SOBA NOODLES



Stir-Fried Baby Squash, Long Beans, Corn and Chiles With Soba Noodles image

Long beans stir-fry more quickly than regular green beans because they have a thinner husk, but if you can't find long beans you can use regular ones, like Blue Lakes. I used purple long beans for this stir-fry but green ones will work as well. Make sure to drain and dry the vegetables on several thicknesses of paper towels after you wash them so that they sear properly.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces soba noodles
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3/4 pound purple or green long beans, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound baby squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kernels from 2 ears corn
1 bunch scallions, cleaned, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more if desired)
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 serrano chiles, minced
2 tablespoons peanut, canola, rice bran or grape seed oil
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • First cook the soba noodles. Bring 3 or 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt to taste. Add the noodles gradually, so that the water remains at a boil, and stir once with a long-handled spoon or pasta fork so that they don't stick together. Wait for the water to come back up to a rolling boil - it will bubble up, so don't fill the pot all the way - and add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the water to come back to a rolling boil, and add another cup of cold water. Allow the water to come to a boil one more time, and add a third cup of water. When the water comes to a boil again, the noodles should be cooked through. Drain and toss with the sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare the vegetables. The squash, corn and white parts of the scallions can be in one bowl, the beans should be in another.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl and the garlic, ginger, and chiles in another. Have all of the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the oil by pouring it on the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chiles and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the long beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the squash, corn and the white part of the scallions and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and sugar, toss together and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 minute, or until most of the liquid has cooked off. Remove from the heat and transfer to a platter or bowl. Add the noodles to the hot wok, toss until heated through, and divide among plates. Top with the vegetables and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for corn on the cob with plump kernels, ripe and firm tomatoes, and tender zucchini.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans for a more complex flavor and texture. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good-quality broth. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Add them just before serving.
