BLACK BEAN SWAMP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway through, until charred all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the stems and seeds and peel off the charred skin. (It's OK if some skin remains.)
• Transfer the poblanos to a blender and add 1/2 cup water, the black beans, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and the cumin. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with tortilla chips.

SWAMP CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, fry the bacon over medium heat. Set aside, reserving drippings. Put swamp cabbage and remaining ingredients, including fried bacon and bacon drippings, in a 6-quart pot. Fill the pot 1/2 full with water and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot as a side dish.
