MAIN CHALLENGE: RED CHILI CITRUS MUSHROOMS WITH GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Season with salt, to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice and chili powder. Add juices to the mushroom mixture along with the chicken stock. Simmer until liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Stir in the honey and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium.
• Rub the zucchini slices with the cumin and season with salt. Grill the zucchini, marking both sides, but keeping the slices still firm. Remove to a cutting board. Chop the zucchini into 1-inch pieces and arrange on a large platter. Top with the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with cilantro and goat cheese.

GRILLED CHICKEN IN RED CHILI SAUCE WITH ZUCCHINI AND CORN

Steps:

• 1. In a heavy medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground chili, masa, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, brown sugar, Maggi, and beef broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce, partially covered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve in the pan, off heat. (Sauce can be made ahead to this point. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.) 2. Prepare a hot fire in an outdoor grill, or heat an oven broiler or stovetop grill pan. Brush the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Grill the chicken turning frequently once or twice, about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside at the thickest part and firm to the touch. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the zucchini, corn, red pepper, and remaining salt. Cook, tossing, until sizzling and heated through, about 2 minutes. Reheat the sauce. 4. To serve, put a chicken breast in the center of each of 4 plates. Spoon the chili sauce over the chicken, and let it pool onto the plate. Scatter the heated vegetables over the top. Sprinkle with cilantro.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to med/high (400˚F).
• Place all of your sliced veggies into a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together: 1/4 cup olive oil and 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar.
• Drizzle your dressing over sliced veggies and toss/ mix to evenly coat all of your veggies. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste and let sit 10 minutes while your grill heats up.
• Place all of your vegetables in a grilling basket and barbecue at 400˚F for about 12 minutes or until veggies are tender and cooked through, tossing every few times to ensure even cooking and caramelizing.
• Add more salt to taste. Remove from heat and serve right away and garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or even basil.

GRILLED MUSHROOM SKEWERS IN RED CHILE PASTE

Steps:

• If cooking outdoors, prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Soak the bamboo skewers in cold water.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the chiles, garlic and a pinch of salt. Cover partially, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chiles have rehydrated and the garlic has softened, about 10 minutes.
• While the chile mixture simmers, coat the bell peppers, zucchini and tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rehydrated chiles and softened garlic to a blender or food processor along with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the achiote paste, liquid aminos, maple syrup, cumin and remaining ¼ cup oil, and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut off the mushroom caps and cut the stems into 1/2-inch-thick coins. Halve or quarter the caps to match the diameter of the stems. Add the mushrooms to the chile paste and mix until coated.
• To assemble, load the vegetables onto all the skewers. Start and end each skewer with a piece of bell pepper and alternate among the mushroom slices, bell peppers, zucchini coins and tomatoes in between, going heavy on the mushrooms. Brush any remaining paste over the mushrooms.
• If cooking outdoors, set the skewers on the hot grill grate. If cooking indoors, turn gas burners to medium-high heat or heat a griddle or grill pan on an electric or induction stovetop over medium-high heat. If using a gas range, cook the skewers directly on the grates over the open flame. If using a griddle or pan, set the skewers on the hot surface. Cook until slightly charred and fragrant, turning occasionally with tongs to grill evenly, about 15 minutes. Grill the lemon halves until charred, if you'd like.
• Transfer the skewers to a serving dish and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
