Hongos Rellenos Recipes

POZOLE VERDE DE HONGO

Steps:

• Prep the fixings: Put the cabbage and radishes in a large bowl with 1/2 cup of water and a dash of salt. Squeeze over the juice of 1 of the limes.
• To make the salsa verde, roast the tomatillos, poblano peppers and jalapeño on the stovetop directly over the gas flame at medium-high heat until they are a little charred all around, about 4 minutes. Remove the seeds and stems from the poblanos and jalapeño.
• Into a blender or food processor, add the garlic, cilantro leaves, 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth, half the onion, the poblano peppers, jalapeño, tomatillos, juice of remaining lime, 1/2 teaspoon each of the garlic powder, onion powder and cumin and salt and pepper to taste and puree until liquified.
• Put the hominy in a large pot with the remaining vegetable broth, 4 cups water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes or to preferred hominy consistency.
• In a separate pan over medium heat, add the oil. Saute the mushrooms and remaining onions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder and cumin and salt and pepper to taste for 5 minutes, just to flavor the mushrooms a little.
• Add the salsa verde, sautéed mushrooms and onions and spinach to the pot with the hominy and give it a good mix until the spinach wilts slightly and warms through. Serve in bowls and garnish the top with the shredded cabbage and sliced radish. Grab a spoon and dip in your favorite rolled-up corn tortilla!

MADUROS-AND-CHORIZO STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Place oil in a Dutch oven at least 4 inches deep and heat to 375 degrees F. Fry the plantains until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove, drain on paper towels, then chop into rough dice.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, add chorizo. Stir to break up the meat and brown evenly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add plantains and set aside.
• For the mushrooms: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place mushrooms cap-side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove mushrooms from oven and fill cavities with chorizo mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella on top followed by Cotija. Place back in the oven until cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve.
