What's for dinner?

Post by Menolly »

To honor and celebrate Mexican culture today, SD made a lovely albódingas for dinner. It was light, refreshing, and warming, perfect for today’s wet, windy, dreary, and cool weather here in the Pacific Northwet. And a nice break from the typical tacos, burritos, and enchiladas.

Menolly brought home Hatch peppers and an ear of corn from Hopelink. I had a few roasted chicken drums left from a previous night's dinner, so I whipped up a Chili Relleno casserole that fed the three of us for two nights.

As always, I took multiple liberties, but this is the base recipe: Chili Relleno Casserole

This was really good! I’ve had sensory issues with peppers lately, but this went down nicely. SD took the time to first oven roast the peppers before layering the casserole, which I think helped immensely.

Thanks for sharing that. It looks and sounds delicious! One of the things I miss from living in NM is the prevalence of hatch chilies.

For as long as I lived here, @Savor Dam has served bratwurst on this day, saying it is “traditional.” I have no idea when or how the tradition started, but I do know his humorous reason as to why.

This year SD came across a recipe for Nam Sod, Thai pork salad and offered it as an alternative to the bratwurst, saying it met the traditional requirements. While I always love beer braised brats, Dam-sel and I were both happy to try something new.

The dish was served with lettuce leaves to make lettuce cups and steamed white rice.

It is certainly a colorful dish! The dressing is a bit potent, but I found it to be tasty.
