ROASTED BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees F with an empty baking sheet on an upper rack.

NACHO TOPPED CHILI POT

Steps:

• Char the poblano peppers and 2 large jalapenos over an open flame on stovetop or under a hot broiler with oven door left slightly ajar for steam to escape. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Peel the peppers and seed them. Chop and puree into coarse sauce in food processor.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 turns of the pan extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a chili pot. Add the meat and brown well. Add the onions, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, and chile powder. Cook to soften onions a few minutes then stir in tomato paste. After 1 minute, add the beer and cook off another minute or two, stir in the stock and heat through. Stir the peppers into the chili and simmer a few minutes for the flavors to combine. Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat the chili: Place in a covered pot over moderate heat until heated through, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, thin the refried beans with a splash of water and heat in a small pan over medium heat. Turn on the broiler and place the rack in the middle of the oven. When the chili is hot, uncover and top with tortillas. Dot the tortillas with beans and cover the entire layer of tortillas with cheese, place under the broiler until lightly browned and cheese has melted. Thinly slice fresh Fresno pepper. Garnish Nacho Chili with sliced fresh Fresno pepper and drained pickled jalapeno peppers.

POBLANO POSOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Place the peppers in the oven and char all over until the skins are blackened. Spray the corn with the cooking spray and broil until charred evenly.
• Place the peppers in a bowl and cover to cool. Peel and seed the poblanos and coarsely chop. Cut the kernels from the cob.
• Turn the oven temp to 450 degrees F.
• Dress the tomatillos with 1 tablespoon of the EVOO and arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet. Arrange the onions and garlic on a second baking sheet and toss with the remaining EVOO, the coriander and cumin. Roast the tomatillos until charred at the edges and lightly browned, 20 minutes, swapping the trays between the upper and lower racks once. Leave the onions and garlic in the oven and let them cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Puree the tomatillos, onions, garlic and poblanos with 1 cup of the stock, the cilantro and lime juice. Transfer to a large pot along with the remaining stock and the hominy. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook to combine the flavors, 15 minutes. Serve the posole topped with the radishes, avocados, scallions and a little more lime juice.
