MEXICAN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Roast the poblano peppers under the broiler set on hi for about 10 minutes- 5 minutes per side. When they come out of the oven, cover them with a clean dishtowel and let them sit for a while- at least 5 minutes, but more is ok. Once cool enough to handle, skin each pepper, remove the seeds, and then chop the peppers and keep nearby. Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan. In a saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high heat, add 2-3 tbsp olive oil. Sauté celery, onion, and bay leaf for ~ 10 minutes until softened. Add chopped poblanos, and sauté for 3-4 more minutes. Add rice, and sauté until opaque- about 2 minutes. Add broth by the ladleful until the rice is covered. Increase heat to high, and allow broth/rice/etc to boil, stirring frequently. Add crushed black pepper to taste. As broth level drops below rice, add more by the ladleful. Cook rice at the boil for 15 minutes- rice should still be firm to the bite. Add spinach and cook for about 4 more minutes, stirring frequently the whole time. Take skillet/saucepan off heat. Add butter, parmesan, and queso fresco, and stir vigorously for 30 sec- 1 minute. Serve.

MEXICAN FIESTA RISOTTO

Steps:

• 1. Coat a small saucepan with cooking spray and sauté peppers. After about 5 minutes, add the corn and season with salt and pepper. I like to cook the peppers until they're slightly charred to resemble veggies you'd receive with fajitas.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pot, cook onion on medium heat with the butter. When the onion becomes fragrant, add the Arborio rice. Stir for 2 minutes. Add in 1 cup of chicken broth. Allow the rice to completely absorb the chicken broth before adding the next cup. Follow this same rule before adding the third and final cup of broth. The final result should be very creamy.
• 3. As your rice is cooking, mix together the canola oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
• 4. Once rice is cooked, mix in beans, cheese, pepper, corn and cilantro in a large bowl.
• 5. Add the dressing and stir until evenly distributed. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
